Short term rental rules in Thailand
The Hotel Act makes letting under 30 days without a hotel licence an offence, and most condominium juristic persons enforce it. A monthly let is the compliant model unless the building itself is licensed.
What this does to the numbers
A 30 day minimum stay takes nightly letting off the table. The compliant model is a monthly let, which is a different business with different rates, different occupancy and different costs. Price it as that, not as a nightly deal with a discount.
The building can rule the deal out on its own, whatever the city allows. Verify the by laws, the juristic person or the owners association before you sign anything, because that document outranks your underwriting.

This page is the regime. A verdict is the deal. Run an address and the engine prices it in THB, against sources that actually cover Thailand, with this regime surfaced next to the number.
This is a summary of the shape of the regime, so an operator knows what to verify. It is not legal advice. Councils, prefectures and building by laws override the national picture constantly, which is exactly why we show these rules rather than silently applying them. Confirm with a local lawyer before you commit.
