Budget for land and building tax where applicable, insurance, utilities, internet, security, common or management fees, pool care, garden care, air-conditioning service, pest prevention, repairs and periodic repainting or roof work. Rental owners also need cleaning, linen, guest support, commissions, accounting and tax. Ask for real historical bills rather than using a seller’s round-number estimate. This is general educational information, not legal, tax or financial advice. Property structures, taxes, licences and registration practice can change or depend on the facts. Use an independent Thai lawyer and, where relevant, a qualified accountant before committing money or signing documents. Confirm current figures with the Land Office, lawyer, accountant, insurer or manager relevant to the transaction.

Use this answer as a practical starting point. Current prices and availability should be confirmed with the relevant seller, developer or manager, while ownership, contracts, tax and inspection matters should be checked with qualified buyer-side professionals.
