Gross rental yields on apartments in Bangkok average 7.18%. Prices in Bangkok have risen very slightly in US$ terms since we last surveyed them, and they average of US$2,425 per square metre (sq. m.) for Bangkok apartments, US$40 more than the previous year.

Average-sized apartments (i.e., apartments measuring around 120 sq.m.) have the highest gross rental yields, at 8%, and sell for US$2,455 per sq. m.

These are quite good yields, given the turmoil in Thai politics and generally weak sentiment – quite surprising, really.
