• Yield-minded investors targeting Laguna/Bang Tao demand with small-format 2BRs

Unlocking Tax Knows on Leaseholds in Thailand

Are you investing in Thai property via a leasehold? If so, you’ll want to know this: owning a leasehold in Thailand doesn’t automatically mean you get tax deductions. According to the rules, if you live in the property yourself, the lease payments aren’t deductible.

But if you rent it out, you have options: either a flat 30% deduction on rental income or claim actual documented expenses (including ground rent, taxes, maintenance) — whichever works out better.

And for companies holding the lease through a business entity, it gets even more favourable: you can amortize the lease cost over the term and deduct it together with other operating expenses — turning the leasehold into a genuine write-off.

Want clarity on where your scenario fits and how to structure it for tax efficiency? This guide breaks it down, step by step.

Why low-density living is the new luxury standard

Tired of towering glass-boxes and packed living spaces? The trend shows of the growing appeal of low‐density developments in Thailand — where fewer units, thoughtful design and a focus on lifestyle have become the hallmarks of premium living.

From quieter amenities and genuine neighbourly community to better investment returns driven by long-stay travellers and remote workers, the shift toward calmer, more human-scale housing is clear.

If you’re looking for a home (or investment) that puts your wellbeing, space and sense of place at the centre, this trend deserves your attention.
