Commercial Property in Thailand
Thailand lists 1,712 commercial properties among 20,577 total on RealEstateAbroad, ranging from city shophouses to resort hotels and warehouses. Foreign investors typically need a structure to hold them, because land restrictions apply to commercial plots too.
Ownership structures
A foreigner cannot generally own commercial land. Options include a Thai company with Thai majority shareholding, which must be genuine and carry out real business, a long lease, or a Board of Investment (BOI) project with special land rights. Foreign Business Act rules also limit certain activities such as retail and hotels, so ownership and licensing must be planned together. A condominium commercial unit may be held freehold within the foreign quota.
Pricing signals
The country-wide median asking price in our listings is €187,735 and the median is €1,825 per m². Commercial assets are priced on income or location rather than the median. Look at Bangkok shophouses, tourism-led premises in Phuket and Pattaya, and lower-cost options in Hua Hin or Chiang Mai.

Due diligence
- Licences. Hotels and restaurants need business, health and building licences. Confirm they transfer.
- Building classification. Ask whether the building is registered as a commercial building.
- Taxes. Transfer fee, withholding tax and specific business tax rates are higher for commercial deals. Verify.
- Leases. Commercial tenants may have long lease terms registered against the property.
- Foreign ownership caps in your chosen structure.
Where next
Compare apartments for residential use and land for development. Read the Thailand consultation guide, financing page and analysis.
Visa and residency angle
Buying commercial property does not give residence rights by itself. Foreign investors who run a Thai company usually need a work permit, which requires Thai staff ratios and minimum registered capital for each foreigner. Investors who plan to relocate should look at long-term visa categories separately and ask an immigration lawyer which ones accept property or business investment. Plan for annual accounting, audit and tax filings from day one, since an operating company has compliance duties whether or not it is profitable. A Thai accountant who works with foreign owners is worth hiring before completion.

Frequently asked questions
Can a foreigner buy a shophouse in Thailand?
Not the land. A leasehold or a Thai company is normally used. Take Thai legal advice.
What is the Foreign Business Act?
It limits foreign participation in certain activities. A business licence may be needed for foreign-owned entities.
Are commercial yields high?
They vary widely. Check actual rents and occupancy, not brochure figures.
How are lease terms registered?
Leases over three years must be registered at the Land Department, with a maximum of 30 years for most cases.
