As an Airbnb host in Thailand, you take on several responsibilities—and potential risks—related to guest safety, property damage and legal compliance. If these aren’t properly managed, they can lead to fines, legal issues or financial loss.
Guest Safety
You’re responsible for making sure your property is safe. This includes working utilities, secure locks, and no obvious hazards like exposed wires or slippery floors. If a guest is injured during their stay, you could be held liable.
Property Damage
Guests might damage furniture or fittings, either accidentally or deliberately. Airbnb offers AirCover, which includes up to $3 million USD in damage protection, but this is subject to conditions and may not cover everything. It’s wise to have your own short-term rental insurance from a local provider, such as Thai Pao, to fill any gaps.
Neighbour and Building Complaints
Short-term rentals in condos can be controversial. Many buildings have rules against them, set by the juristic person (the condo’s management committee). Hosting without permission can lead to fines or legal action. In standalone houses, local laws may also apply.
Legal Compliance
You must follow Thai regulations, including:
Registering your property under the Hotel Act 2004 if you’re operating as a short-term rental
Submitting TM30 reports within 24 hours of a foreign guest’s arrival
Paying income tax on your rental earnings
Registering for VAT if your income exceeds 1.8 million THB per year
Failure to meet these requirements can result in penalties or further legal issues.
