Buying an Off-Plan or New Home in Chiang Mai

How developer payment schedules, warranties and progress checks work for new developments.

KESORN Editorial Team7 min readLast reviewed: June 2026

New developments in Chiang Mai range from low-rise condos near Nimman to gated house projects in Hang Dong and San Sai. Buying off-plan can secure a lower price, but the process and risks differ from a resale purchase.

Quick answer

  • Off-plan usually means staged instalments tied to construction milestones.
  • Check the developer's track record and warranty terms before reserving.
