Office Space for Rent and Sale Across Thailand

What types of office space can you rent?

Pick the format that fits how your business works before you compare prices, because each one differs in cost, flexibility and the impression it gives clients.

Serviced office

A ready-to-use space with desks, chairs, internet, cleaning and a receptionist already in place. You pay one fee and start working the same day. It suits teams that want to move fast, skip a fit-out, or foreign companies testing the market — the trade-off is a higher rate per square metre than a bare unit.

Virtual office

You get a registered business address plus call and mail handling, without renting a physical desk. At a few hundred to a few thousand baht a month, it fits freelancers, online businesses and remote teams that still need a formal address for tax invoices and company registration.

Co-working space

Rent a desk or a meeting room by the hour, day or month and share the common areas. You pay for what you use and can add or drop seats as headcount moves, which is why it works well for startups and small teams that are still finding their size.

Home office

A shophouse or townhouse built to live and work in one unit. You get more floor area and parking at a lower rate per square metre than a downtown tower, which suits family businesses, storefront operations and teams that need to hold stock.

In-building unit (bare shell or fitted)

Rent floor space in an office building and fit it out yourself. A bare shell is empty and you run the systems; a fitted unit comes with ceiling, flooring, lighting and some air conditioning. The rate per square metre is the most cost-effective on a long lease, and you get an office that is truly yours — as long as you have a fit-out budget and lead time before move-in.

How much does office rent cost, and what else do you pay?

Office rent is your floor area in square metres times the rate per square metre per month, plus the costs that are easy to leave out of a budget. The number in the listing is rarely the full amount you pay each month.

Rent by location and building grade

Rate tracks building grade and location above all. Based on the 2026 market, Grade A buildings in core business districts such as Sathorn, Silom and Ploenchit run roughly THB 900–1,500 per sqm per month, with premium Grade A+ towers around Ploenchit and Wireless Road at the top end. Grade B sits near THB 600–850, a real saving for businesses that don't need a prestige address, while Grade C and older buildings outside the core run lower. New towers and buildings right on a rail line push rates up a notch.

The costs that hide behind the rent

Beyond rent, most buildings add a service charge per square metre, after-hours air-conditioning charges, a security deposit — commonly around 3 months for office leases, sometimes 4–6 — and one month of rent in advance. One point that trips people up: the 1-month deposit cap set by Thailand's consumer protection rule covers residential leases, not commercial offices, so office deposits are higher. And if your company is the tenant, you also withhold 5% tax on the rent and remit it to the Revenue Department (the service portion is usually 3%). Budget for all of this before you sign.

How much office space do you need per person?

Size your office by headcount plus common areas, not by counting desks. Too little and the team feels boxed in; too much and you pay rent on empty floor every month.

Working out space per person

A common planning figure is about 8–10 sqm per person once you include walkways, meeting rooms, a pantry and reception. Densely packed teams get by on 6–8 sqm, while roomier offices or ones with several private rooms run 12 sqm and up. A team of 10 usually needs around 80–100 sqm, and you add more if you host large meetings or clients often.

Small offices for SMEs and startups

A team of 2–5 doesn't need a whole floor. A small 20–40 sqm office, a private co-working room, or a home office keeps costs down at the start, and you can move into something larger once the team grows. Filter listings by the size range you want so the options that don't fit drop away first.

How to choose an office location

The best location is the one your team reaches easily and clients can find, not simply the most famous address. Start from the routes most of your people already travel.

Offices near the BTS and MRT

An office on a rail line helps with commuting and with the impression you make when clients visit. Rent runs higher than spots that need a transfer, but you trade that for saved time and fewer late arrivals. If your team mostly drives, check the building's parking count alongside the rail access.

Popular business districts

Areas like Sathorn, Silom, Asok and Rama 9 draw companies because they sit close to banks, clients and food, which suits work that involves frequent client meetings. Cost-focused businesses often pick suburban areas still on a rail line and get more space for the same budget.

Renting versus buying an office

The answer comes down to your cash flow and long-term plan — there is no fixed rule that renting or buying always wins.

The trade-offs of renting

Renting takes a smaller lump sum, lets you move as the team grows or shrinks, and keeps building upkeep off your plate, which fits fast-growing or uncertain businesses. The downside is paying every month without owning anything, and a landlord who may raise the rent at renewal.

When buying your own office makes sense

If the business is settled, you have the capital, and you plan to stay in one location for the long run, buying turns rent you would spend anyway into an asset you can fit out fully and lease out later. You trade that for a down payment, loan repayments and less freedom to relocate. If that's your side, browse the offices-for-sale listings as well.

A checklist and lease terms before you sign

Visit the actual unit and read the whole contract before you commit. The misses tend to hide in the small conditions that only bite once you're using the space.

Checklist before signing

Measure the usable area against what's stated, check building open and after-hours access, parking count, air-conditioning and backup power, internet speed, and the service charge you'll owe. For a bare unit, ask about the rent-free fit-out period as well.

Monthly versus yearly leases

A monthly lease is flexible and easy to exit, but the rate is higher and the landlord can raise it often. A yearly lease — usually three years — locks the rate for longer and gives you room to negotiate a discount, at the cost of a longer commitment and a penalty for leaving early. Match the term to how settled your business is.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is office rent calculated, and what are the extra costs?

Rent is your floor area in square metres times the rate per square metre per month, plus a service charge, after-hours air-conditioning, a deposit of about 3 months, and one month of rent in advance. If your company is the tenant, you also withhold 5% tax on the rent. Ask for the full monthly figure before you sign.

What's the difference between a monthly and a yearly office lease?

A monthly lease is flexible and easy to end, but the rate is higher and can change often. A yearly lease locks the rate for longer and lets you negotiate a discount, but ties you in and carries a penalty for leaving early. Choose based on how settled your business is.

Serviced office or virtual office — which should I choose?

A serviced office is a real, ready-to-use workspace, right for teams that need a physical office. A virtual office gives only a registered address plus call and mail handling, right for remote teams that still need a formal address. Decide by whether you actually need seats to sit in.

Where can a team of 2–5 rent a small office?

Small teams can take a 20–40 sqm office, a private co-working room, or a home office. Filter listings on Talata by size range and budget to see the options that fit your team.

Which areas have offices for rent near the rail lines?

They're spread along the BTS and MRT — from core districts like Sathorn, Silom, Asok and Rama 9 to more affordable suburban spots. Filter by the station or area your team commutes through to narrow the list.

I want to lease out my office — what should I prepare?

Prepare at least 3 photos of the real space, the size in square metres, the floor, facilities, service charge, monthly rent and lease terms. The more complete the details, the faster serious enquiries come in.

Does listing an office for sale on Talata cost anything?

Listing is free. Add the details, upload photos, choose the office-for-sale category and verify your phone number, and your listing is ready for people searching to buy an office.

Is it better to rent or buy an office?

Renting suits fast-growing businesses that want flexibility and a smaller upfront cost. Buying suits settled businesses with capital that plan to stay put, since it turns rent into an asset. Weigh your cash flow against your long-term plan before deciding.
