How Much Does Interior Painting Cost in Bangkok? 2026 Price Guide

Interior painting prices in Bangkok range from ฿3,000 for "whole condo" on a Facebook post to ฿60,000 from a design-build firm for the same 45 m². Most of that spread is not profit — it is what the job actually includes. This guide lays out the real 2026 numbers and what each price buys.

Whole home: ฿280–450 per m² of floor area

This is the number to keep in your head. A professional crew painting every wall and ceiling in a condo — furniture wrapped, cracks filled and sanded, two full coats, edges cut in by hand, room cleaned — charges roughly ฿280–450 per square metre of floor area in Bangkok in 2026, paint included. The bottom of that range is a one-day crew with no prep and no guarantee; the top is a crew that fills, primes, wraps the furniture and comes back if it peels. A 30 m² studio with TOA SuperShield is quoted at ฿8,500–10,000 by the cheaper crews on Pantip, before proper prep, furniture protection or any guarantee.

The per-metre price drops slightly as homes get bigger because set-up, protection and travel are a fixed chunk of every job. Full table on the pricing page.

One room or a feature wall: from ฿5,900

Painting one bedroom costs more per square metre than painting the whole home, and the reason is simple: the crew still has to come, cover the floor, wrap the furniture, fill and sand, and come back for the second coat. A single room with walls and ceiling is from ฿5,900; a feature wall alone is usually ฿3,500–4,500. If you are thinking about two rooms, ask for the whole-home price — it is often within a few thousand baht.

What drives the price: prep, not paint

Paint is the cheapest part of a paint job. A 2.5-litre tin of TOA SuperShield covers about 25 m² of wall per coat and costs a few hundred baht. What costs money is the time before the roller comes out:

• Filling and sanding — every picture-hook hole, hairline crack and dent, raked out, filled, sanded flat and dusted. On a ten-year-old condo this is a third to half of the labour.
• Priming — filler, damp stains and bare patches need a sealing primer or the top coats dry patchy and stains bleed back through.
• Protection — wrapping furniture, sheeting floors, taping sockets and skirting. Skipped by cheap crews, which is why they are cheap.
• Cutting in — the clean line where wall meets ceiling and around every frame is done by hand with a brush, not with the roller. It is slow and it is what makes a room look professionally painted.

A crew that skips these will be faster and cheaper and the walls will look fine for a month. Then the filler shrinks, the stain reappears, and the roller texture at the ceiling line starts to bother you.

Walls with real problems — damp, live cracks, bubbling — need repair before paint, quoted per wall. Painting over them is money spent twice.

Paint choice: where the upgrade money goes

The standard for Bangkok homes is TOA SuperShield or Nippon Odour-less: washable, low-odour, mould-resistant enough for the climate, and stocked by every hardware store for future touch-ups. Premium ranges — Jotun Majestic, Dulux Ambiance, TOA's top tier — have a richer finish and slightly better washability, and add ฿40–80 per square metre of wall. On a two-bedroom that is roughly ฿5,000–9,000 more. Worth it in a living room you love; rarely worth it in a rental.

Colour does not change the price unless you pick a deep, saturated shade that needs a third coat to cover — which a good quote will tell you before you commit.

Where the cheap quote cuts corners

The ฿3,000 whole-condo advert is not lying about the number. It is one thin coat of the cheapest emulsion, no filling, no priming, furniture pushed to the middle under nothing, and a tin of the leftover for you to touch up the drips. Ask any painter these five questions before you book:

1. How many coats, and is that in writing?
2. Is filling, sanding and priming included?
3. Which paint, which range, and can I choose the colour?
4. What do you cover, and who cleans up?
5. What happens if it peels in six months?

If the answer to any of them is vague, the price will grow on the day or the finish will fail by the next rainy season. RenoRova's quotes state coats, paint range, prep and protection line by line, and the 2-year no-peel guarantee is written into every one.

How long it takes

About one day per 35–40 m² of floor area: a studio in a day, a two-bedroom in two, a townhouse in three to four. You do not need to move out — work happens room by room with the furniture staying in the home. See how a repaint runs from survey to walk-through on the interior painting page.
