Chiang Mai is the highest-yielding city in this week's RealData scan, with two buildings clearing 14% gross yield against a Bank of Thailand MRR of 7.1%. Entry prices across the top five range from ฿839,000 to ฿3.1M — unusually low capital thresholds for double-digit income returns. The spread between the best performer and the MRR benchmark sits at +7.1 percentage points.
SR Complex leads at 14.2% gross yield on an average sale price of ฿1.27M and monthly rent of ฿15,000 — a spread of +7.1 pp over the 7.1% MRR. The Private Condo in San Sai follows at 14.0% yield, with a slightly lower entry at ฿1.21M and rent of ฿14,106.
Both assets sit in the sub-฿1.3M bracket, meaning total acquisition exposure is limited even for buyers using partial leverage. At these yields, gross rent covers MRR cost roughly twice over — before taxes and vacancy.
The Spring Loft is the premium outlier: ฿3.1M average sale price, ฿27,185 monthly rent, 10.5% yield. It trades at roughly 2.5× the capital cost of SR Complex but still posts a +3.4 pp spread over the MRR — respectable for a higher-grade asset.
The Green City Condo at 8.8% and SR Land Condominium at 8.0% both remain above the 7.1% MRR threshold. SR Land carries the lowest average sale price in the set at ฿839,000, making it the lowest-barrier entry point despite its position at the bottom of the yield table.
