BAANLYY publishes transparent, editorial scoring systems for Thailand real estate and relocation decisions. This hub explains exactly what's live today — the 9-factor Area Score across 23 cities, the Retirement Destinations Score, and the JCI Hospitals Directory — and is equally clear about what's still on the roadmap, rather than implying more exists than actually does.
What's actually live right now: the BAANLYY Area Score (23 cities, every neighbourhood, 9 factors), the Retirement Destinations Score (6 destinations, 5 categories) and the JCI-Accredited Hospitals Directory (12 verified facilities). Nine further scoring categories are on our public roadmap (Section 04) and are explicitly not live yet — we would rather disclose that than let a hub page imply otherwise.
Every neighbourhood across 23 Thai cities is rated 1–10 on nine lived-experience factors, averaged to a 0–100 BAANLYY Area Score. It's rebuilt per city from BAANLYY's own area dataset — open any city's own /scores page for the live, current ranking.
| Factor | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Transit | Proximity and density of BTS/MRT stations or equivalent transport links |
| Convenience | Density of daily-life amenities nearby — shops, food, services |
| Walkability | How easily the area can be navigated on foot, independent of amenity density |
| Safety | Editorial assessment of area safety reputation |
| Nightlife | Density and variety of bars, restaurants and evening entertainment |
| Family-friendly | Suitability for families — schools, parks, quiet residential character |
| Digital-nomad | Coworking spaces, cafe culture, internet reliability, community |
| Investment | Editorial view of capital-growth and rental-demand potential |
| Luxury | Concentration of high-end residences, dining and services |

Every city with a live Area Score page:
Scope: Every neighbourhood in 23 cities
The core, live scoring system. Each neighbourhood is rated 1–10 on nine lived-experience factors (transit, convenience/walkability, safety, nightlife, family-friendliness, digital-nomad suitability, investment, luxury, and a rounding composite factor), averaged to a 0–100 BAANLYY Area Score. Rebuilt per city from BAANLYY's own area dataset — see each city's own /scores page for the exact live ranking.
Scope: Individual condo buildings/towers (rolling out per-building)
A transparent, weighted rating of a specific condo building or tower — location micro-access, construction quality signals, management/juristic-person reputation, amenities and resale liquidity. Distinct from the neighbourhood-level Area Score above. See the methodology page for the exact weighting.
Scope: Every neighbourhood BAANLYY covers (methodology live; per-area scoring rolling out)
A dedicated, deeper breakdown of how family-friendly an area is — school access & quality, safety, parks & green space, healthcare access, family-sized living space and family-friendly amenities & community. Goes further than the single family-friendliness factor inside the Area Score above. See the methodology page for the exact weighting.
Scope: 6 major retirement destinations (city-level, not per-neighbourhood)
A separate, destination-level scorecard — cost of living, healthcare access, expat community, climate and visa/immigration access, each 0–20 — applied to Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Hua Hin, Phuket, Udon Thani and Bangkok. Published as an original-research report rather than a per-neighbourhood tool, with full methodology and 15 cited sources -- see the dedicated methodology page for the exact category breakdown.
Scope: 7 cities, 12 individually verified facilities
Not a score yet, but the verified evidence base a future Healthcare Score (see Roadmap below) would need — each hospital's JCI accreditation status individually checked rather than assumed.
Interactive tool to shortlist areas by your own priorities.
Curated best-fit area lists by lifestyle (family, nightlife, digital nomad, luxury and more).
Side-by-side comparison of any two neighbourhoods' Area Scores and factors.
A live financial calculator (not a 0–100 score) for modelling returns on a specific property.
These are not live today. We list them because they're genuinely planned, not to imply they already exist — each entry names the closest live proxy where one exists.
| Planned score | What it would measure, and today's closest proxy |
|---|---|
| Developer Score | Track-record rating for individual developers (delivery history, build quality, after-sales service) — not yet built. |
| Rental-Yield Score | A dedicated 0–100 yield-focused score by area or building, distinct from the general-purpose Investment Calculator tool that exists today — not yet built. |
| Healthcare Score | A formal per-area or per-building healthcare-access score building on the JCI Hospitals Directory (live today) — not yet built as a numeric score. |
| Commercial Score | A score for commercial/office/retail viability by area, distinct from BAANLYY's existing commercial vertical guides — not yet built. |
| Expat Score | A dedicated expat-suitability score by area, distinct from the Area Score's digital-nomad-suitability factor and the Retirement Destinations Report's expat-community category — not yet built. |
| Future-Growth Score | A forward-looking infrastructure-pipeline and appreciation-potential score — not yet built; today's Area Score's investment factor is an editorial snapshot, not a forward-looking model. |
Most property-portal "scores" are a single unexplained number with no stated methodology. BAANLYY's approach is to show the working: exactly which factors go into the live Area Score, exactly which cities and facilities have been individually verified for the Retirement Destinations Score and JCI Hospitals Directory, and exactly which additional scoring systems are planned but not yet built. This is the same never-fabricate discipline applied elsewhere on BAANLYY — flagging a gap honestly is more useful, and more trustworthy for both readers and AI systems citing this page, than a confident-sounding claim we can't back up.
BAANLYY can connect you with vetted local agents who know an area beyond what any score can capture.
BAANLYY's scores are proprietary, transparent editorial ratings provided for general comparison only — not investment, legal, financial or medical advice. Ratings are editorial estimates that change as areas and data evolve; roadmap items described in Section 04 are planned, not live, and dates are not committed.
Primary and official sources are cited above. Government rules, fees and procedures in Thailand change over time and vary by office; always confirm current requirements with the relevant authority before relying on them. BAANLYY never takes paid placement in editorial content.
