Thinking about renovating your house or condo in Pattaya? Before starting any construction, it’s important to understand Thailand’s permit rules—especially if you’re planning major changes.

In Thailand, minor renovations like painting, flooring, or cabinetry usually don’t need a permit. But if your project involves structural changes — such as knocking down walls, expanding rooms, changing the roof, or modifying plumbing or electrical systems — you must get approval from the local municipality.

To apply for a renovation permit, you’ll typically need:

• A copy of your land title deed (Chanote)
• Architectural drawings prepared by a licensed professional
• Owner identification and authorization documents (if using an agent)
• Information on how waste, drainage, and materials will be handled

The permit process can take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the scope. Renovating without permission may lead to legal issues, fines, or even demolition orders.
