Over the past few weeks, we’ve explored what it’s like to live in some of Thailand’s most popular destinations — from the relaxed beaches of Phuket, the fast pace of Bangkok, the seaside calm of Hua Hin, to the cultural charm of Chiang Mai. Each city offers something unique, but one challenge is the same no matter where you settle: finding the right home.

For many foreigners, navigating Thailand’s housing market can feel overwhelming. Between different neighborhoods, price ranges, and legal requirements like lease agreements and TM30 registration, there are a lot of moving parts to figure out. That’s where getting the right support makes all the difference.
