Local know-how
What to know before you go
Property rules for foreign buyers in Thailand
Real estate in Thailand has one rule you should know before you apply. Foreigners can own condo units, but only within a foreign ownership limit for each building, and land is generally off limits to foreign freehold ownership. Foreign buyers often use long leases for land and villas instead.
These rules shape daily work for agencies in Bangkok and Phuket, both cities we work in. Agents need to explain what a foreign buyer can and cannot own, and many listings and inquiries are in English. As an English-speaking intern you might help write listings, answer international inquiries and keep client records tidy. Other tasks depend on your host, from sales and marketing support to market research. Rules can change, so your host company will tell you what applies when you start.

FAQ
Questions interns ask
Do I need to speak Thai for a real estate internship in Thailand?
No. Host companies work in English, and many deal with international buyers and renters. A few Thai phrases help with colleagues and daily life.
Can foreigners buy property in Thailand?
Foreigners can own condo units within a foreign ownership limit for each building. Land is generally not available for freehold ownership, so leases are common. Rules can change, so always check with a lawyer before buying.

No. Everyone 18 and over can apply, with or without a degree. Sales, marketing or business studies are all a good fit.
