The Hotel Act (2004) and the amendment of August 19th 2016 makes nearly all buildings in Thailand that offer short term rentals illegal and subject to inspection, fines, imprisonment.
With most small businesses offering short term accommodation in Thailand now being classified as Type 1 and being subject to the Hotel Act and the others being Type 2 or 3.
A bungalow on the beach, a homestay in the village, room above a bar or restaurant, a private villa or a row of rooms.
They are all now subject to inspection and very likely require a licence which is not possible for many of these buildings.

Thailand is potentially destroying its own Tourism Industry and ruining the lives of thousands of honest hard working people, destroying jobs and removing an entire section of the short stay accommodation options previously available to tourists. This will eventually lead to the closure of its own countries tourism market.

INTRODUCTION

On 19 August 2016, Thailand’s Ministry of Interior

Ministerial Regulation Prescribing Descriptions of Other Types of Building Used for a Hotel Business Operation 2016 under the Building Control Act (1979)

The MR will remain in effect for five years. However, it applies only to buildings that existed before it came into force and whose owners desire to use the property as a Hotel (as defined by the Hotel Act) with either:

(a) rooms only; or

(b) rooms and food service/restaurant facilities.

The three categories of buildings that are eligible for this re-classification are as follows:

Type 1: a building with not more than two floors and not more than 10 rooms;

Type 2: a building that is not a Type 1 building and which does not have more than twenty rooms;

Type 3: a building that is not a Type 1 building and which does have more than twenty rooms.
