Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Chiang Rai?

Gross bookings per Chiang Rai listing averaged ฿108,097 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Chiang Rai Province average: ฿109,324), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Chiang Rai listing brings in ฿19,300 in January, its best month, and ฿10,300 in September, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 31% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 5.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ฿34,200+ a month, about 3.5 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn ฿21,400 or more, roughly ฿12,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about ฿9,800 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ฿4,090 or less, about 42% of the median.

These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

January earns about 1.9 times what September does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Chiang Rai Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Chiang Rai Airbnb took in ฿108,097 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about ฿235,500, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ฿14,400 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.

These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

Estimate Your Own Chiang Rai Airbnb Profit

The estimate starts from Chiang Rai's average listing, run by its owner. Change how the listing performs, who runs it and who cleans to see what is left for the mortgage or rent.

To work out the profit on one Chiang Rai home, with its price, its mortgage or rent and your own costs, use the Airbnb profit calculator. It starts from the comparable listings around the address.

How Chiang Rai's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Chiang Rai listings are booked on 51% or more of their nights, against 26% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ฿1,115 adds about ฿11,200 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ฿1,720 a night or more, against a median of ฿1,115. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about ฿10,500 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about ฿19,300, against ฿10,300 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Chiang Rai listings average 4.79 stars, and 52% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.

What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about ฿19,600 a month, against ฿9,000 for the average one.

Occupancy

What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Chiang Rai?

The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 5.9 times as often as the bottom quarter.

  • Strong performers (top 25%) fill 51% or more, roughly four nights a week.
  • Typical properties (median) fill about 26% of open nights.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Chiang Rai?

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Chiang Rai it averaged ฿417 over the past year, from about ฿345 in a typical September to about ฿622 in a typical January.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ฿902+ per open night, about three times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn ฿587 or more, about ฿280 a night above the median.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Chiang Rai

1% of the 120 active listings in Chiang Rai display a registration, permit or license number. A low share doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Chiang Rai.

For one home, enter its address and bedroom count in the Airbnb income calculator: it compares the home with similar listings nearby.

What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Chiang Rai?

Listings in Chiang Rai were booked on 29% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 29% for the Chiang Rai Province average. January is usually the busiest month.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Chiang Rai?

The average booked night in Chiang Rai cost ฿1,468 before fees. Half of listings charge between ฿755 and ฿1,720, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Chiang Rai?

In Chiang Rai, 1% of active listings display a registration, permit or license number. A low share doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.

Is Airbnb profitable in Chiang Rai?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Chiang Rai Airbnb grossed ฿108,097 in the 12 months to September 2026, in line with the Chiang Rai Province average, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about ฿14,400 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
