Sukhumvit Condo Market Guide 2026: What 278,000 Listings Say

Sukhumvit is the largest property market in Thailand by listing volume, and it is not close. From Vurel's nightly read of 1.5 million listings across eleven Thai portals, August 2026, the Sukhumvit zone carries 278,434 listings. That is roughly one listing in five nationwide, from a single corridor. The next largest zone, Rama 9 and Ratchada, has about 110,000. Sathorn and Silom, the traditional CBD, has about 66,000. Sukhumvit alone outweighs both of them combined.

One caveat before any numbers: Vurel does not merge duplicate listings across portals. A condo advertised on four portals appears four times in that 278,434. Listing volume is a measure of advertising activity, not a count of unique units for sale. That distinction matters, and this guide will come back to it. But even read conservatively, Sukhumvit is the deepest, most liquid, most heavily advertised property market in the country, and that depth changes how you should shop it.

Here is what the data says, and how to use it.

The headline numbers

All figures below are median asking prices, from Vurel's nightly read, August 2026. Thailand has no public sold price registry, so nobody, including us, can tell you what Sukhumvit condos actually sell for. Asking prices are the only public reference, and they typically sit above eventual sale prices. If you want the full argument, read our piece on asking versus sold prices.

Metric	Sukhumvit zone
Listings in the nightly read	278,434
Median asking price (sale)	฿8,900,000
Median asking rent (monthly)	฿35,000
Median asking price per sqm (sale)	฿154,286

A rough division of two medians, ฿8.9 million over ฿154,000 per sqm, implies a typical listed unit of just under 58 sqm. Treat that as approximate: it divides two separately computed medians rather than measuring actual unit sizes, but it fits what the corridor mostly sells, one and two bedroom condos rather than family scale units.

The ฿35,000 median asking rent is worth pausing on. It matches neighboring Khlong Toei and Rama 4, and among the zones we track only a few, such as Chidlom and Ploenchit at ฿40,000, ask more. Sukhumvit is where Bangkok's expat rental demand concentrates, and landlords price accordingly.

Where Sukhumvit sits nationally

Zone	Listings	Median ask (sale)	Median ask rent	Ask per sqm
Sukhumvit	278,434	฿8,900,000	฿35,000	฿154,286
Rama 9 - Ratchada	109,795	฿4,290,000	฿21,000	฿102,083
Chonburi (incl. Pattaya)	98,144	฿5,650,000	฿25,000	฿63,600
Sathorn - Silom	66,483	฿9,180,000	฿32,000	฿162,162
Ratchathewi - Phaya Thai	64,423	฿8,240,000	฿29,000	฿173,077

Median asking figures, Vurel nightly read, August 2026.

Two things stand out. First, the volume gap: Sukhumvit lists about two and a half times more than the runner up. Second, the price position: on a per sqm basis, Sukhumvit's ฿154,286 median ask actually trails Sathorn and Silom (฿162,162) and Ratchathewi and Phaya Thai (฿173,077). Sukhumvit is not the most expensive zone in Bangkok by median ask. It is the biggest, and its median blends a very wide internal spread, which is the real story of the corridor.

How the corridor stratifies from Nana to Bearing

Sukhumvit is not one market. It is a 20 plus kilometer corridor along the BTS Sukhumvit line, and asking prices step down as the soi numbers climb. The zone level medians on either end of it make the gradient concrete.

Zone along the corridor	Listings	Median ask (sale)	Median ask rent	Ask per sqm
Chidlom - Ploenchit (upstream)	31,303	฿11,000,000	฿40,000	฿194,247
Khlong Toei - Rama 4 (adjacent south)	44,643	฿9,300,000	฿35,000	฿175,000
Sukhumvit (core)	278,434	฿8,900,000	฿35,000	฿154,286
On Nut - Bearing (downstream)	48,134	฿4,000,000	฿20,000	฿90,528
Bang Na - Lasalle (far downstream)	41,401	฿4,950,000	฿18,500	฿62,153

Median asking figures, Vurel nightly read, August 2026.

Read top to bottom, the per sqm ask falls from ฿194,247 at the Chidlom and Ploenchit end to ฿62,153 out past Bang Na. That is more than a threefold spread across one train line. Within the core Sukhumvit zone itself the same gradient runs soi by soi, and while we publish medians at zone level rather than soi level, the pattern any regular reader of the listings will recognize looks like this:

Nana to Asok (roughly Soi 1 to 21). Older stock mixed with newer towers, heavy short term and rental investor activity, and prices that lean on proximity to the Asok interchange. Asking prices here run above the zone median but below the Phrom Phong peak.

Phrom Phong to Thonglor to Ekkamai (roughly Soi 22 to 63). The premium heart of the corridor. Japanese and Western expat rental demand is densest here, new launches price aggressively, and per sqm asks in newer buildings commonly land far above the ฿154K zone median. This stretch is what pulls the Sukhumvit median up.

Phra Khanong to On Nut (roughly Soi 64 onward). The transition. The same train line, ten minutes further out, and the neighboring On Nut and Bearing zone's median ask of ฿90,528 per sqm is about 41 percent below the core Sukhumvit figure. Median asking rent drops from ฿35,000 to ฿20,000. This is where the corridor's value hunting happens.

Bearing and beyond. By Bang Na and Lasalle, the median per sqm ask is ฿62,153, about 60 percent below core Sukhumvit, for stock that is still one interchange from the same line.

The practical point: "a Sukhumvit condo" is not a price. A budget of ฿5 million buys very little at Phrom Phong and a solid one bedroom near On Nut. Always compare a listing against its stretch of the corridor, not against the zone wide median.

What the volume means if you are buying

Depth is the buyer's friend, if you use it.

Comparables are abundant. In a thin zone, a seller can price on hope because there is nothing nearby to contradict them. In Sukhumvit, almost any building of meaningful size has multiple units listed at once, and dozens more in comparable buildings within walking distance. Before negotiating on any unit, pull every active listing in the same building and the same size band. If the unit you want asks ฿180,000 per sqm and five comparable units in the building ask ฿150,000 to ฿160,000, you have your anchor, and it is not the seller's number.

Duplicates are information. Because Vurel does not merge duplicates, the same unit showing up on five portals is visible as five listings. That is not noise. A unit blasted across many portals, often by multiple agents at slightly different prices, signals a seller working hard to exit. The price spread between those duplicate listings also tells you something: if one agent lists at ฿8.5 million and another at ฿7.9 million for what is plainly the same unit, the lower number is closer to the seller's real floor.

Asking price history matters more here. Vurel has tracked asking price history since March 2026. In a market this deep, a unit that has sat and cut is competing against hundreds of fresh alternatives, which makes stale sellers more negotiable than the same situation in a thin market. Check whether the listing you want has cut, how many times, and how long it sat between cuts, before you make an offer.

Contacts are often posted. More than half of listings, about 56 percent, carry a posted phone or LINE contact, so in a zone this size you can frequently reach the lister directly. Coverage varies sharply by portal: some post contacts on nearly every listing, others almost none. Where a contact exists, you can talk to the agent or owner without going through a portal lead form.

What the volume means if you are renting

The ฿35,000 median asking rent is a midpoint over an enormous spread, studios near Bearing to three bedroom units in Thonglor. Two things follow from the volume.

First, landlords in Sukhumvit face more visible competition than anywhere else in Thailand. A tenant who gathers five comparable listings in the same building or soi, at asks below the unit in question, has genuine negotiating material. In our experience the corridor's asking rents are more negotiable than their posted numbers suggest, precisely because supply is deep.

Second, the buy versus rent math is unremarkable. As a rough, transparent calculation: ฿35,000 a month is ฿420,000 a year, against a ฿8.9 million median ask, which is an approximate gross yield of 4.7 percent. Treat that number loosely. It divides the median rent of one pool of listings by the median price of a different pool, before fees, vacancy, agent commissions, and tax, and the units backing each median are not the same units. But it frames the decision: at these asking levels, Sukhumvit is not a zone where buying obviously beats renting on cash flow. People buy here for location and capital preservation hopes, not for yield.

What this data cannot tell you

The honest limits, stated plainly.

These are asking prices. Every number above is what sellers and landlords chose to post, not what anyone paid. Sold prices in Thailand are not public, and the gap between ask and eventual sale is typically meaningful. Use these medians as a ceiling reference, not a valuation.

Listing counts include duplicates. 278,434 listings is not 278,434 unique units. Cross portal duplication is heaviest exactly where agent activity is heaviest, which is Sukhumvit. The count is best read as a measure of market depth and advertising intensity relative to other zones, which are measured the same way.

Medians hide the corridor's spread. The core zone median blends Phrom Phong towers with Phra Khanong walk ups. Sub stretch comparison, which the zone tables above only approximate, matters more here than in any compact zone.

Rental asks skew toward the furnished, agent listed market. Owner posted, unfurnished, or word of mouth rentals are underrepresented on portals everywhere, and the posted median likely sits above what a patient local tenant pays.

Using it anyway

Imperfect data beats no data, and Sukhumvit is the zone where the data is deepest. If you are shopping the corridor, start from the Sukhumvit zone page for the current medians, browse a live sample of the listing data, and read the methodology for exactly how the nightly read works and what it does not capture.

Vurel puts 2.2 million Thai property listings from eleven portals into one nightly updated search, with asking price history since March 2026 and posted contacts where the portals provide them. It will not tell you what a unit sold for, nothing public will, but it will show you every asking price in the building before you make an offer. In a market as deep as Sukhumvit, that is usually enough to change the negotiation.
