Bangkok Median Asking Prices by Zone, August 2026

This is a straight data roundup: the median asking price for sale listings, the median asking rent, and the median asking price per square meter across the major Bangkok zones, measured from Vurel's nightly read of 1.5 million Thai property listings on August 10, 2026.

Two caveats before the table, because they matter more than the table.

First, every number here is an asking price. Thailand has no public sold-price registry, so the number a seller types into a portal is the only public number that exists. What a unit actually sells for is typically below the ask, by a margin that varies with zone and how long the listing has sat. We wrote a full piece on that gap: Asking Price vs Sold Price in Thailand. Nothing below is a transaction price.

Second, Vurel does not merge duplicate listings across portals. A unit posted on three portals appears three times in the pool. Medians are fairly robust to this, since a cross-posted unit pulls the middle of the distribution toward itself rather than dragging a tail, but the listing totals in the table count listings, not unique properties. Treat them as a measure of market activity and coverage, not inventory.

Why medians, not averages

Almost every price headline you see about Bangkok property is an average, and averages are close to useless for condo hunting.

The Bangkok market has a long right tail. A single riverside penthouse asking 180 million sits in the same zone pool as hundreds of 35 sqm units asking 3 million. In an average, that penthouse counts as much as sixty ordinary units. In a median, it counts as one listing. The median is the middle listing: half the zone asks more, half asks less. That is the number that describes what you will actually scroll past when you search.

Averages have a second problem specific to portal data. Because listings are cross-posted and Vurel does not deduplicate across portals, an expensive project that an agency blasts across many portals gets extra weight in an average. A median mostly shrugs this off.

So when someone quotes you "the average price in Sukhumvit," the honest response is: average of what pool, computed how, and does one 200 million baht listing move it? Medians answer the question a buyer actually has: what does the middle of this zone ask?

The table: Bangkok zones, August 2026

All figures are median asking prices from Vurel's nightly read, August 2026, in Thai baht. "Per sqm" is the median asking price per square meter among sale listings that state a size. Sorted by median sale ask, highest first.

Bang Sue - Prachachuen	2,890,000	13,000	77,586	16,871

And the ring around Bangkok, same measurement, same date:

Zone	Median sale ask	Median asking rent /mo	Median ask per sqm	Listings
Samut Prakan	3,490,000	18,999	41,479	26,651
Nonthaburi	2,999,000	12,000	38,750	48,713
Rangsit - Pathum Thani	2,940,000	12,500	25,789	33,567
Chaengwattana - Pak Kret	2,940,000	10,985	52,083	16,033

For reference outside the capital, the same nightly read puts the median sale ask at 14,900,000 in Phuket, 7,000,000 in Hua Hin - Cha-am, 5,650,000 in Chonburi including Pattaya, and 4,500,000 in Chiang Mai. Phuket's number looks startling next to Bangkok's, and it is real, but it reflects what is listed there: a pool heavy with villas and resort product, not a city of studio condos. Zone medians describe the listing pool, and the pools differ.

Every zone's live figures, updated nightly, are on its zone page.

What the spread from 2.9M to 11M actually buys

The headline spread inside Bangkok proper runs from a 2,890,000 median ask in Bang Sue - Prachachuen to an 11,000,000 median ask in Chidlom - Ploenchit. That is a factor of roughly 3.8 between two zones a short ride apart on the same rail network.

Roughly, and this is derived arithmetic on medians rather than a measured unit size, dividing each zone's median sale ask by its median per-sqm ask implies the middle Bang Sue listing is around 37 sqm (2,890,000 / 77,586) while the middle Chidlom listing is around 57 sqm (11,000,000 / 194,247). The medians come from overlapping but not identical listing pools, so treat those sizes as an illustration, not a measurement. Still, the shape is right: the 11M Chidlom buyer is not just paying for location, they are buying a meaningfully larger unit in a market where small central units dominate the low end.

The per-sqm column is the cleaner comparison, and it tells a slightly different story than the headline medians:

• Chidlom - Ploenchit asks a median of about 194,000 per sqm, the top of the city.
• Khlong Toei - Rama 4 (175,000) and Ratchathewi - Phaya Thai (about 173,000) ask nearly as much per sqm despite lower headline medians. Ratchathewi is the quiet one here: an 8.2M median headline, but per-sqm asks within about 11 percent of Chidlom.
• Rama 3 - Yan Nawa is the reverse case: an 8,950,000 median ask, fourth highest in the city, but only about 104,000 per sqm. That is a zone of large riverside units. The headline number says expensive; the per-sqm number says you get space for it.
• Bang Sue - Prachachuen has the lowest headline median at 2.89M but a per-sqm ask of about 78,000, higher than Ladprao, Pinklao, or Bang Na. The cheap headline is mostly small new-build units near the rail interchange, not cheap square meters.

That last pair is exactly why a single number per zone misleads. "Cheapest zone" and "cheapest square meter" are different questions with different answers.

Rent medians and a rough yield sketch

The rent column runs from about 13,000 per month in Bang Sue and Bang Khae to 40,000 in Chidlom, from Vurel's nightly read, August 2026. Note the compression: sale asks span roughly 3.8x between those zones, rent asks span barely 3x. Rents in Bangkok are disciplined by what tenants will actually pay month to month, while sale asks can drift on hope.

You can sketch an approximate gross yield from these medians. The math is transparent and the caveat is real: the median rental listing and the median sale listing in a zone are not the same unit, so this is zone-level texture, not an investment calculation.

• Bang Sue - Prachachuen: 13,000 x 12 = 156,000 per year against a 2,890,000 median ask, roughly 5.4 percent gross.
• Rama 9 - Ratchada: 21,000 x 12 = 252,000 against 4,290,000, roughly 5.9 percent gross.
• Sukhumvit: 35,000 x 12 = 420,000 against 8,900,000, roughly 4.7 percent gross.
• Chidlom - Ploenchit: 40,000 x 12 = 480,000 against 11,000,000, roughly 4.4 percent gross.

The familiar pattern holds: the cheaper and more mid-market the zone, the fatter the paper yield. And since the sale figures are asking prices that units rarely achieve in full, actual entry yields on negotiated purchases run somewhat higher than these sketches. Both effects are approximate; neither is a promise.

How to actually use these numbers

Benchmark per sqm, not headline price. Before viewing anything, know the zone's median per-sqm ask. A Sukhumvit listing at 200,000 per sqm is about 30 percent over the zone median: possible for a new building on the main road, questionable for a fifteen-year-old unit on a distant soi. A Nonthaburi listing at 200,000 per sqm is over five times its zone median and needs an extraordinary explanation.

Read the medians as a negotiation ceiling, not a value. These are the middle asks. Given Thailand's asking-to-sold gap, a fair offer usually starts below the median-implied figure for comparable listings, and a unit's own price-cut history tells you how far below. Vurel has tracked asking-price history on every listing since March 2026, so you can see whether a listing has already cut and by how much.

Weight thin zones lightly. Sukhumvit's medians rest on 278,434 listings; Don Mueang - Laksi's rest on 16,213, and remember these totals count cross-portal duplicates. A median over a smaller pool moves around more month to month. Don Mueang's oddly precise 13,998 median rent is a hint of that: it is the literal middle listing's number, quirks included, and we print it as measured rather than smoothing it.

Check whether a contact is even posted. Just over half of the listings in the pool, about 56 percent, carry a posted phone or LINE contact, and it is bimodal by portal: some portals post contacts on nearly every listing, while others such as DDproperty and Hipflat post almost none. If you want to negotiate directly, filter for listings where the contact is actually visible.

What this data is not

Worth restating plainly. These are asking prices read nightly from eleven portals (LivingInsider, PropertyHub, DDproperty, Hipflat, KaiBaanThai, Kaidee, RentHub, Teedin108, Thailand-Property, Dot Property, FazWaz). They are not transaction records, because no public transaction record exists in Thailand. Listing totals overlap across portals because we do not merge duplicates. Zone boundaries are ours and will not match every agent's mental map. And a zone median mixes condos, houses, and everything else posted there, which is part of why per-sqm medians and headline medians disagree. The full detail is on the methodology page, and you can inspect the raw shape of the data yourself in the live sample.

Within those limits, this is the widest public read of what Thai sellers are currently asking, refreshed every night.
