Condo AGM Voting Rights in Thailand
Condominium owners (including foreign quota holders) have voting rights at the Annual General Meeting per the Condominium Act B.E. 2522. Vote weighting is by floor area (% of total). This guide explains procedure and quorums.
TL;DR
Condominium owners — Thai and foreign quota — have voting rights at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) under the Condominium Act B.E. 2522 (1979). Vote weighting is by floor-area proportion of total saleable area, not one-vote-per-unit. Quorums are not less than 25% of total area for AGM (Section 42-49 of the Act). Major decisions (by-law changes, common-area sale) require two-thirds majority.
What AGMs Decide
- Annual budget + common-area fees.
- Election of the juristic-person manager (กรรมการนิติบุคคล).
- Major-repair plans.
- By-law amendments (super-majority).
- Annual financial statement approval.
Voting Mechanics
| Decision | Threshold |
|---|---|
| Ordinary resolutions | Simple majority of voted area |
| Budget approval | Simple majority |
| By-law changes | Two-thirds of total area |
| Common-area disposition | Three-quarters or unanimous (depending) |
Quorum Rules (Section 44)
- Initial AGM: not less than 25% of total area.
- If quorum not met: reconvene within 30 days; lower quorum applies.
- Proxies allowed via signed form (one proxy per voter typical).
Foreigner-Owner Notes
- Foreign quota (49% by area) — same per-unit voting rights as Thai owners.
- Notice of AGM commonly sent in Thai; ask for English summary in advance.
- Proxies useful for absent foreigners.
Common Mistakes
- Confusing one-vote-per-unit with by-area weighting.
- Missing the AGM and losing voice on budget increases.
- Not understanding by-law amendments require super-majority.
- Forgetting to pay common-area fees — voting rights commonly suspended.
