Thank you for your numbers. If foreign investors of property in Thailand pays Tax in Thailand, he or she will not have any problems with renting to any foreigners. And foreigner on visa or extension has no problem with renting from that foreign owners of property. problem solved. 👍

Young it is not about airbnb. If you Invest in property as a non Thai national, your options is rental and re-selling. Of course some buy in irder to live in. Prospects I seen the guidance I 10-15% gross and aimed for the holiday market. If non Thai landlords can lease the property due to visa holders looking for landlords who is Thai nationals, still want to invest in Thailand?
