Bangkok has become one of the world’s premier destinations for branded residences, distinguished by the exceptional caliber of luxury brands present in the city. While other cities in the region have embraced branded real estate, the Thai capital sets the global benchmark through collaborations with the world’s most iconic names in hospitality and design. Bangkok is a true global branded residences hotspot.
The Ultra Luxury Real Estate Market in Bangkok
Thailand has captured a 23.3% market share of Asia’s branded residences sector, leading the region and currently ranks in sixth position of leading countries developing branded real estate, meanwhile Bangkok sits eighth for the top cities.
However what sets Bangkok apart isn’t just the numbers, it’s the quality of brands that have chosen to establish their presence in the city.
Bangkok’s portfolio includes renowned names like Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Waldorf Astoria, St.Regis and Porsche Design (to name but a few), representing some of the most sought after brands in global luxury and hospitality.
These are not mid tier lifestyle brands testing Asian markets, they are established names with decades of heritage and high standards.
One of Bangkok’s pioneering branded residential developments was The Residences at The St. Regis Bangkok, launched in December 2010 atop the 47-story St. Regis Bangkok hotel tower, these branded residences introduced the city to signature St. Regis butler service, Thai-inspired design, and seamless luxury hotel integration.
At launch, prices started at ฿75,000,000 (approximately USD 2.4 million at 2010 exchange rates), with per-square-meter rates of ฿200,000–250,000 (USD 6,500–8,000/sqm) commanding a 25–30% premium over luxury non-branded condominiums in the same Ratchadamri and CBD areas, where comparable high-end projects averaged ฿140,000–160,000 per sqm (USD 4,500–5,200/sqm).
Today, resale values of some units have more than doubled, with standard units averaging ฿400,000 per sqm (approximately USD 12,400/sqm) with homes ranging from ฿90–450 million (USD 2.8–14.0 million)
The Branded Premium
Branded residences in Bangkok, like their counterparts on the global stage, enjoy a substantial premium over luxury non-branded condominiums, with an average uplift of approximately 25–30%
As of late 2025, branded projects average ฿375,000–450,000 per sqm ($11,100 – $13,300 USD per sqm) compared to an average of ฿250,000-300,000 per sqm (7,460-$8,850 USD per sqm) for non branded luxury developments in prime locations. (note prices in some ultra luxury non branded developments can match or exceed those that are branded)
Some projects are exceeding these already high benchmarks, with Ananda Development’s Porsche Design Tower Bangkok priced at 1 million baht per square meter ($30,864 per sqm), making it the most expensive residential property in the country.
Branded Residences in Bangkok Icons of Global Luxury
Bangkok’s branded residences portfolio includes many major international hospitality and luxury brands.

Bangkok’s Global Standing in the Branded Residences Sector
Bangkok ranks eighth globally for branded residences in terms of completed and pipeline projects, securing its position among the world’s elite cities for branded living.
As Asia’s top urban branded residence destination, Bangkok boasts approx 5000 units across 18 projects, placing it ahead of other major Asian cities and closing in on established luxury markets in the West.
This global recognition reflects Bangkok’s transformation into a city that competes directly with established luxury hubs like Miami and Dubai.
The Thai capital has positioned itself not just as a regional leader, but as an essential market for international luxury brands seeking to establish their presence in Asia’s luxury real estate sector.
Why Top Tier Brands Choose Bangkok
Several factors have made Bangkok attractive to leading luxury brands:
Market Sophistication Bangkok’s wealthy residents and international buyers understand and appreciate authentic luxury. Thailand is rapidly evolving from a popular tourist destination into a prime location for luxury brands, reflecting its growing appeal to high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs)
Regional Leadership Bangkok leads urban areas in branded residences, 80% of which are upscale to luxury, creating a critical mass that attracts additional high end developments.
Strategic Location As a regional hub combining business opportunities, world class infrastructure, and quality of life, Bangkok offers the sophisticated urban environment that luxury brands and their clientele demand.
Developer Capability Both Thai & International developers in the capital have demonstrated their ability to execute projects that meet the exacting standards of international luxury brands, from architectural excellence to service delivery.
The Premium Focus
Unlike other markets that have included mid tier lifestyle brands in their branded residences offerings, Bangkok developers have remained focused on the highest tier.
Late 2025 has marked another active phase for Bangkok’s ultra luxury branded residences market, with several projects launching in October including InterContinental Residences Bangkok Asoke IHG’s first standalone InterContinental branded residences globally and Upper House Residences Bangkok, the world’s first Upper House branded residences.
This premium focused approach from real estate developers has created a positive cycle. Each prestigious brand that enters the market validates Bangkok’s position as a global luxury destination, making it easier to attract additional tier one names.
The presence of Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons, Aman, InterContinental, and many other luxury leaders creates an environment where the finest brands want to establish a presence in the capital.
Ultra Luxury Condos Push Branded Real Estate Standards
Bangkok’s luxury real estate market is notable for developers delivering world class ultra luxury experiences whether a property carries an international brand name or not. This commitment to excellence demonstrates that Bangkok’s luxury real estate development is far more than just the licensing of prestigious brand names.
Non branded ultra luxury condominiums in Bangkok can rival their branded counterparts in every aspect, from pricing and architectural distinction to service delivery.
The projects below all achieve pricing way above the average and more akin to ultra luxury branded pricing. Amenties and service delivery are also of the highest standards within these condominium projects.
98 Wireless Sansiri’s flagship project on Wireless Road represents one of Bangkok’s most prestigious ultra luxury condominiums. Located in the tree lined diplomatic district near BTS Ploenchit, this freehold development features duplex penthouses priced up to 650 million baht ($20.1 million). The project offers chauffeur service, 24 hour concierge, private lift access, and an exclusive private club with facilities.
SCOPE Langsuan Developed by SCOPE Company Limited (a joint venture with SC Asset), this ultra luxury freehold condominium just 80 meters from BTS Chidlom features floor to ceiling glass panels, double height ceilings, private wine cellars, cigar lounges, and spa retreats with dedicated butler services. Designed by renowned architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox with interiors by Thomas Juul Hansen, units start at 44 million baht ($1.36 million) for one bedroom residences.
Scope Thonglor is Bangkok’s pioneering all penthouse ultra-luxury condominium completed in November 2024. This 32-story tower features just 18 exclusive full-floor residences designed by acclaimed architect Thomas Juul-Hansen. It offers premium amenities like a marble infinity pool, yoga room, panoramic lounge, plasma air purification, and concierge services including housekeeping, in-house chefs. Priced from ฿200–226 million (USD 6–6.7 million) with an average ฿482,000/sqm (USD 14,400/sqm)
All Scope Collection projects offer in house hospitality services provided by Aqua, and while they are not technically branded residences in name, they are as good as anything available in Bangkok currently.
185 Rajadamri Developed by Raimon Land, this 35 floor development earned awards for “Best Condominium Project” in Thailand and “Most Luxurious Condominium Project” in Bangkok. With 266 super luxury units, the development offers comprehensive recreational facilities including yoga rooms, jacuzzis, multipurpose lounges, gardens, and function areas.
TELA Thonglor Developed by Gaysorn Property, owners of the luxury Gaysorn Plaza shopping mall, TELA Thonglor brings the same level of refinement to residential living. Located in the Thong Lor district, units feature expansive spaces with sophisticated interiors and access to world class amenities.
These non branded developments demonstrate that Bangkok developers don’t just rely on international brand names to justify ultra luxury positioning or pricing. Instead, they’ve cultivated their own expertise in delivering exceptional residential experiences, complete with:
- Five star service standards, 24 hour concierge services, valet parking, housekeeping, and maintenance teams that match any international hotel brand
- World class amenities, from Rolls Royce & Bentley chauffeur services to private wine cellars, golf simulators to infinity pools, rooftop gardens to spa facilities
- Architectural excellence, collaborations with leading global architects and designers creating distinctive, iconic buildings
- Prime locations, strategic positioning in Bangkok’s most prestigious neighborhoods with accessibility
- Privacy and security, low density developments with advanced biometric systems, 24/7 surveillance, and private lift access
- Smart home integration, technology for climate control, lighting, entertainment, and security management
- Bespoke interiors, custom designed spaces using imported materials and finishes
This parallel track for ultra luxury development, both branded and non branded, creates competition that raises standards across Bangkok’s entire premium real estate sector. Whether choosing a Four Seasons residence or a Sansiri flagship non branded project on Wireless Road, buyers can expect quality, comprehensive amenities, exceptional service, and world class living standards.
The result is a market where ultra luxury is the standard, not the exception. Bangkok’s property developers have proven they can execute projects at the highest level, creating residences that offer distinctive living experiences regardless of whether they carry an international brand name.
This depth of expertise and commitment to excellence is what makes Bangkok attractive to global luxury brands, they recognise they’re entering a market where the bar is already set high.
