Two destinations for resort and investment property side by side — entry price, ownership, residency, taxes and yield. Yield figures are an estimate, not a guarantee.

FAQ
Starting price for Thailand: from $80,000; Indonesia (Bali): from $180,000. The lower entry threshold is Thailand. But entry price is not the only factor — also look at transaction taxes and yield.
Yield range for Thailand: 5-8% net; Indonesia (Bali): 10-15% gross on premium-location villas. By the upper bound it is higher in Indonesia (Bali). High yield is usually tied to resort short-term rentals and greater seasonality.
Thailand: Freehold condo within the building's 49% quota. Indonesia (Bali): Leasehold 25-30 years (renewal) or Hak Pakai 30 years / PT PMA. This is the key fork — freehold is more secure than leasehold but is not available everywhere and is often limited by zones or property type.
Thailand — no direct residency for a purchase. Indonesia (Bali) — residency available from IDR 2 billion (~$128K) deposit / IDR 10 billion for PT PMA. If the goal of the deal is resident status, this is the decisive factor.
