The rental yield on a Jomtien condo is about 6% gross for a typical long-term let, and the best buildings reach around 7%. As of November 2026 we matched the asking prices of condos we list for sale in Jomtien against the rents of units in the same buildings, and the median gross yield across 22 buildings is 6.3%. The spread runs from 3.3% to 10.2%, so the building you choose matters more than the beach.

This guide shows where the numbers come from, which buildings lead, and how to turn a gross figure into the net return you will actually keep.

How we worked out Jomtien rental yields

Jomtien is the 6 km beach about 3 km south of Pattaya, lined with high-rise condominiums and popular with foreign retirees and Bangkok families. That mix gives it a steady pool of long-term tenants, which is what a rental yield depends on.

We took every condo we list for sale in Jomtien today and every long-term rent we hold for the same building and the same number of bedrooms. The rents are the 28 units we list for rent now plus 50 units recorded as let in October 2026; 63 of those 78 are on 12-month leases. Where a building had both, we divided twelve months of the median rent by the median asking price.

That gives a gross initial yield: the year's rent as a percentage of the price, before any costs. It produced 31 building and unit-size pairs in 22 buildings. Asking prices and rents change, so treat every figure here as a November 2026 snapshot.

The best rental-yield condos in Jomtien

The table lists the buildings where we hold at least three rents for the same unit size, so the figure does not rest on a single tenant.

The Riviera Jomtien has the deepest evidence of any building: 11 one-bedroom rents, 10 of them already let, against 17 one-bedrooms for sale. It is a 46-storey tower 200 metres from the sand with direct beach access, so it earns a sea-front rent on a price that is not the highest on the beach.

The other leaders are low-rise resorts set back from the sand. Seven Seas Condo Resort Jomtien, Dusit Grand Park and Espana Condo Resort are each built as eight-storey blocks around lagoon pools. Their one-bedrooms cost about ฿2.1–2.4 million, and tenants still pay ฿12,000–13,000 a month for them.

High yields that rest on one rent

Four buildings show a higher figure, but each is based on a single rental, so read them as leads, not proof.

If one of these interests you, ask what similar units in the building have actually let for over the past year. One good tenant can make any building look like a bargain.

What lowers a yield in Jomtien

The lowest yields we found are at the top of the market. A two-bedroom at Cetus Beachfront Condominium asks a median ฿16,900,000 and rents for ฿50,000 a month, 3.6%. Two-bedrooms at Jomtien Plaza Condotel return 3.7%, and at Copacabana Beach Jomtien 5.0%.

Rents rise with the view, but asking prices on the sand rise faster. Buy a trophy apartment for the lifestyle; buy a mid-priced one-bedroom for the income.

Size works the same way. Across 18 buildings the median one-bedroom yield is 6.1%, and across 11 buildings the two-bedroom median is 6.4%. Studios appear in only two buildings, too few to compare.

From gross yield to net: a worked example

A gross yield ignores costs. Every condo pays a monthly common-area fee to the juristic person, the owners' body corporate that runs the building. Among Jomtien buildings, our data records the fee only for Arom Jomtien: ฿70 per m² a month, plus a one-time sinking fund of ฿700 per m².

Here is a 35 m² one-bedroom at The Riviera Jomtien's median figures, using Arom Jomtien's fee rate as a stand-in. Ask for the real fee of any building you consider.

ItemPer year
Rent, 12 months at ฿25,000฿300,000
Less one empty month between tenants−฿25,000
Less common-area fee, 35 m² at ฿70 a month−฿29,400
Income before tax and repairs฿245,600
Yield on ฿4,200,0005.8%

Then comes tax. Thailand's Revenue Department lists income from letting property as taxable income, and a non-resident still pays tax on income earned in Thailand. For buildings it allows a flat 30% deduction for expenses, so speak to an accountant about your own rate.

How to choose a condo for rental income

  1. Start from rents, not prices. Ask what similar units in the building let for, and how fast. A building with many recent lets, like The Riviera Jomtien, gives you evidence.
  2. Get the fees in writing. Ask the juristic office for the common-area fee per m², the sinking fund and any special levies.
  3. Budget for furniture. Most long-term tenants expect a furnished unit with a washing machine, and several of our listings name both.
  4. Allow for empty months. Two empty months a year cut a 7.1% gross yield to about 6% before fees.
  5. Check the building rules. Ask the juristic office about pets, business use and minimum lease terms, because they shape who can rent from you.
