The area-level data view of Ubon Ratchathani's rental market -- condo and apartment rents in the Sunee Tower/Thung Si Mueang city centre, the UBU university district and Warin Chamrap, compiled sale-price data, national REIC 2025 transfer context, and a disclosed-methodology look at why a granular yield benchmark isn't yet possible for this market. Sourced and methodology-disclosed; indicative and educational, never investment advice.
Ubon Ratchathani is one of Thailand's most affordable provincial-capital rental markets: a typical one-bedroom condo runs roughly THB 8,500-9,000/month in the Sunee Tower/Thung Si Mueang city centre, against roughly THB 3,500-6,000/month across the river in Warin Chamrap. Compiled sale-price data puts the median condo at roughly $1,650-1,907 per sqm. No official REIC transfer breakout or gross-yield benchmark exists specifically for Ubon Ratchathani -- both gaps are disclosed rather than estimated; see Sections 02-03.
Area names and character below draw on BAANLYY's own previously published, sourced Ubon Ratchathani rental market guide, with rent figures cross-checked against current compiled portal listings (FazWaz, PropertyHub, RentHub), as of mid-2026:
| Area | Typical monthly rent, 1BR (THB) | Typical monthly rent, 2BR (THB) | Character |
|---|---|---|---|
| City centre -- Sunee Tower & Thung Si Mueang | 5,000-9,000 | 8,000-15,000 | Ubon's busiest commercial core -- malls, banks, the night market and Ratchabut Road nightlife, with the bus station about 10 minutes away. The widest condo and modern-apartment choice in the city, and the highest typical rents. |
| UBU university district | 4,000-7,000 | 6,000-11,000 | A quieter, more residential pocket built around Ubon Ratchathani University's staff, students and academic community -- older stock than the city centre, but noticeably cheaper. |
| Warin Chamrap & across the Mun River | 3,500-6,000 | 5,000-9,000 | Long-stay apartment towers near Sri Narong offer weekly or monthly rates with kitchenettes, on-site laundry and 24-hour security -- the most affordable central option, a short bridge crossing from downtown. |
| Outer suburbs (houses & townhomes) | 5,500-9,000 | 7,000-16,000 | Ubon's thin modern-condo supply means houses and townhomes rented directly from Thai owners are the mainstream choice here -- more space and often a garden, at the cost of needing a vehicle since there is no rail-transit network. |

Compiled sale-listing data (FazWaz, Properstar, 108Siam, Hipflat) puts the median Ubon Ratchathani condo sale price at roughly $80,780-87,190 (approximately THB 2.8-3.1 million) with a median price per sqm of roughly $1,650-1,907 (approximately THB 57,750-66,750/sqm). By bedroom count, compiled listings show 1-bedroom units averaging roughly $54,512 (≈THB 1.9 million), 2-bedrooms roughly $104,740 (≈THB 3.67 million) and 3-bedrooms roughly $129,346 (≈THB 4.53 million).
Thailand's Real Estate Information Center (REIC), under the Government Housing Bank, publishes official national and provincial foreign-buyer transfer data. For Ubon Ratchathani specifically, the picture is thin:
BAANLYY could not identify any CBRE, JLL, REIC or independent Thailand property-advisory source publishing even a directional gross-yield estimate specific to Ubon Ratchathani. Thailand's national average gross rental yield stood at 6.49% in Q1 2026 per Global Property Guide, but that national figure blends Bangkok, resort markets and provincial cities together, and isn't a reliable stand-in for any one city.
Rather than publish a fabricated or borrowed yield figure, BAANLYY is disclosing the gap directly: Ubon Ratchathani's rental demand is driven primarily by Ubon Ratchathani University staff and students, local end-users, and cross-border trade linked to the Chong Mek checkpoint with Laos -- not tourism or short-let investment demand. That likely points toward a lower achievable gross yield than Phuket, Pattaya or Koh Samui's tourist-driven markets, not higher. Anyone underwriting a specific building should build their own numbers from a current listing price and a realistic achievable rent (Section 01), rather than relying on a headline percentage that doesn't exist yet for this city.
This report blends three tiers of source, disclosed here for transparency:
None of the tiers above substitutes for a professional valuation, current listing data for a specific building, or official statistics from Thailand's Real Estate Information Center (REIC) or Bank of Thailand (BOT) property price indices. This report is educational market intelligence, not investment advice.
BAANLYY can connect you with vetted agents and property managers to underwrite the numbers on a specific building and unit.
Indicative, educational market data only — not investment, legal or tax advice. Ubon Ratchathani rents, prices, vacancy and yields vary by building, area and time and change over time; verify current figures with a licensed agent, appraiser or property manager before relying on them. BAANLYY never takes paid placement.
National foreign-transfer figures (Section 02) and the national gross-yield figure (Section 03) are official REIC/Global Property Guide 2025-2026 data; no Ubon Ratchathani-province-specific breakout or yield benchmark was identified and this gap is disclosed rather than estimated. Rent-by-area figures (Section 01) draw on BAANLYY's own previously published Ubon Ratchathani rental-market guide, cross-checked against current FazWaz/PropertyHub/RentHub listings. Sale-price figures (Section 02) are compiled from FazWaz, Properstar, 108Siam and Hipflat listings, disclosed as such.
