Sansiri, a leader in the Thai real estate market, has revealed the booming trend of investing in single-detached homes, presenting them as a Lifetime Asset Value that generates long-term returns. The company highlighted four prime locations that are currently attracting the most interest from investors: 1) Krungthep Kritha, 2) Bangna, and two key tourist destinations, 3) Phuket, and 4) Chiang Mai.
Sansiri Public Company Limited has shared that investing in single-detached homes is a viable option for long-term returns, as demand for rental homes from both Thai nationals and foreigners continues to rise. The company has seen a consistent flow of visitors to their properties, with many expressing an interest in investing. Another notable trend is that international clients are increasingly interested in homes located near international schools. In Bangkok, Phuket, and Chiang Mai, the number of visits to these properties has significantly increased.
From customer data, it is evident that Sansiri’s single-detached homes meet the criteria for worthwhile investment, providing both rental yields and capital gains. This is supported by several factors, such as the projects’ prime locations, continuous land valuation increases, timeless home designs with unique characteristics, and superior design that caters to all lifestyles. In addition, the homes are set within high-quality communities and come with long-term after-sales service that maintains the property’s pristine condition. Sansiri also offers security with the LIV-24 service, a real-time security monitoring system operating 24/7. Therefore, Sansiri’s luxury single-detached homes represent assets that generate long-term financial value (Lifetime Asset Value) and can be passed down as legacies.
Four Prime Locations for Luxury Single-Detached Home Investments:
- Krungthep Kritha: The Rising Star for Private Living
One of the hottest locations for investment, properties in this area have an average yield of 7-9%, with monthly rental rates ranging from 300,000 to 600,000 baht. Land valuation has increased by 170% over the past 10 years, with current land prices reaching 170,000 baht per square wah. Krungthep Kritha is surrounded by amenities, including Suvarnabhumi Airport, prestigious international schools such as Brighton College and Wellington College, and a growing number of community malls. The area is easily accessible to the business districts via the newly constructed Krungthep Kritha Road (connecting Srinakarin to Romklao), making it a highly capable location for both living and investment. - Bangna: A Future Investment Hotspot
Bangna is another emerging location with rapid growth and increased demand for real estate from both Thai nationals and foreigners. This trend is reflected in the sales of the latest project, Setthasiri Bangna KM. 10. The growth is driven by mega-projects, business investments, and excellent transport links, including proximity to Suvarnabhumi Airport. The area is surrounded by golf courses, international schools like Bangkok Patana School and Berkeley International School, large shopping centers, and future projects like Bangkok Mall, the largest shopping mall in Southeast Asia. With convenient access to Sukhumvit Road and the upcoming yellow line of the MRT, Bangna is becoming a prime residential area in Bangkok’s eastern corridor. - Phuket: The Prime Investment Destination
Phuket, a world-class tourist destination, continues to be a top investment spot due to the government’s efforts to improve infrastructure, such as upgrading Phuket Airport, the light rail system, port development, and transforming the city into a Smart City. Phuket has also become a premium destination for large-scale events. Real estate here has been selling well since 2023, driven by demand for homes near international schools, especially in areas like Bang Tao, which hosts several prestigious international schools such as Headstart and Kajonkiet International. As a result, property prices have surged, with land prices rising from 10-12 million baht per rai before COVID-19 to 25 million baht per rai today. The rental yield from single-detached homes in Phuket can reach 9-10% per year, with rental rates ranging from 300,000 to 400,000 baht per month. Phuket remains a top investment destination. - Chiang Mai: A Globally Desirable Place to Live
Chiang Mai is a long-time favorite destination, offering the perfect blend of urban living and nature. The city has seen significant expansion, particularly in areas near the second ring road, with growth extending to the third ring road. Chiang Mai offers easy access to amenities and is one of the most popular destinations for expatriates in Thailand. As a result, demand for housing continues to rise each year. Single-detached homes in Chiang Mai provide an average return of 5-7% per year, with rental prices ranging from 50,000 to 70,000 baht per month and property prices ranging from 3.5 to 18 million baht. Capital gains yield approximately 3-5% annually.
In the near future, Chiang Mai will see major developments, such as the second Chiang Mai Airport, capable of handling 20 million passengers annually, and a high-speed rail link to Bangkok, reducing travel time to just 3 hours. Chiang Mai also has the second-highest number of international schools in the country, making it an attractive location for long-term expatriates. This growth trend makes Chiang Mai a prime location for investors, with increasing demand for both rental and purchase options.
Real Estate: A Safe Haven for Investment
When compared to other forms of investment, real estate remains a safe haven, and residential properties are always in demand. According to SCB EIC, most buyers of single-detached homes prioritize spacious living areas, including house and land size, and prefer locations with easy access to the city for commuting or schooling. Buyers are also willing to pay a premium for after-sales service, facilities, and technologies that enhance convenience and energy efficiency—services that Sansiri offers across all its projects.
As the number one luxury real estate developer in Thailand with over 40 years of expertise, Sansiri continues to create masterful projects with world-class design and quality. The company offers properties that are not only exceptional places to live but also valuable assets that provide the best return on investment.
