NUMBER OF BANGKOK EXPATRIATES FROM 2018-2024

Historically, long-stay demand for serviced apartments in the Sukhumvit area was driven by Japanese expatriates on extended work assignments in Bangkok and the Eastern Economic Corridor. However, as companies have reduced housing allowances for expatriates, demand from this segment has declined. As a result, the market has shifted from annual contracts to shorter long-term stays, typically from one to six months, supported by guests seeking interim housing during relocation, digital nomads, and medical tourists.

Currently, demand is primarily driven by short-stay guests staying for less than a month, including travelers from Japan, China, South Korea, the Middle East, India, and Europe. This segment mainly consists of families who favor serviced apartments for their larger living spaces and in-room amenities, such as kitchenettes and washing machines, over traditional hotel accommodations.
