Calculator
Hua Hin Pool Villa Total Cost of Ownership Calculator
This calculator totals example running costs for a Hua Hin pool villa: common area fee, electricity, pool maintenance, garden maintenance, and insurance, on top of the purchase price. A 350 sqm lived-in example is 600,000 to 1,000,000 THB a year. That band is an assumption, not a verified bill. The 30 THB per sqm common-fee example is an input, and 350 x 30 x 12 = 126,000.

FAQ
Questions about this calculator
How much does it cost per year to run a Hua Hin pool villa?
The calculator's 600,000 to 1,000,000 THB band for a lived-in 350 sqm villa is an example assumption, not a verified annual bill. A holiday villa used less of the year sits lower on the same inputs.
Is the common area fee included in the running cost?
Yes. The calculator takes the common area fee per square metre per month and multiplies by the built area. A 350 sqm villa at 30 THB per sqm pays 126,000 THB per year, which is the largest fixed cost for a gated estate.
Does the calculator include the purchase price?
It shows the running cost separately and the total cost of ownership including the purchase price over your holding period, so you can see both the cash cost of running the villa and the all-in capital commitment.
