Bali or Thailand: Why Bali is the Best Investment Choice in 2024

Table of content

Investors often compare Bali and Thailand, calling them “similar yet different.” Both regions rank in the top-10 global real estate investment destinations and the top-4 for Russian-speaking audiences. Here are 5 reasons why Bali outshines Thailand.

Economic Stability and Growth

Indonesia, home to Bali, is the only Southeast Asian country in the G20, making it a more stable and promising market than Thailand.

Indonesia (Bali):

  1. Nominal GDP: $1.48 trillion
  2. GDP per capita: $5,200
  3. GDP growth: 5% (2023)
  4. Inflation: 2.6%

Thailand:

  1. Nominal GDP: $536 billion
  2. GDP per capita: $7,700
  3. GDP growth: 3.4% (2023)
  4. Inflation: 2.9%

Lower Entry Threshold

Bali: from $100,000
Thailand: from $100,000–$140,000

In Bali, the same amount buys higher-quality properties. For example, Parq Development offers villas with premium finishes and stunning views, while in Thailand, you would typically get small studios in densely built-up areas.

Tourist Appeal

Bali has established itself as a more comfortable and elite destination. In 2024, Tripadvisor ranked two Ubud hotels — Adiwana Suweta and Padma Resort Ubud — among the top 10 in the world.

For investors, this translates to higher-paying tenants and consistent demand for premium properties.

High Rental Yields

Bali: 15–25% annually
Thailand: 7–10% annually

Projects like SPI Residence and Parq Ubud offer some of the highest returns in the world due to Bali’s year-round tourist season. In Thailand, seasonality limits returns: the high season lasts from November to April, with villas often sitting vacant the rest of the year.

Property Value Growth

Bali: 30–40% during construction
Thailand: 20–30%

Investing in SPI Development projects at the construction stage offers maximum benefit. The average payback period for properties in Bali is 5–6 years, nearly twice as fast as in Thailand.

Why Investing in Bali is Profitable

  1. Economic Growth: Indonesia leads Southeast Asia.
  2. High Returns: Up to 25% annual ROI from rentals.
  3. Price Appreciation: +30% over the last 5 years.
  4. Land Shortage: Ensures sustainable value growth.
