The one-line version: Phrae's advertised rental market is about 25 buildings, concentrated in the old city and around the hospital, priced from roughly ฿1,200 to ฿5,500 a month, with no registered condominium and no lift anywhere. Everything below is advertised asking prices recorded in August 2026, not a BAANLYY-verified index — there is no such index for Phrae yet.
What each portal actually shows
| Source | What it returned | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| RentHub — province index | 25 apartment entries displayed | The most complete single view of Phrae we found. Its own district facets read 18 Mueang Phrae, 3 Rong Kwang, 2 Wang Chin, 1 Sung Men — which sums to 24, not 25, and omits Song district even though a Song-district listing appears in the same results. Grade the results grid, not the facet counts. |
| Hongpak — province page | Headlines 16; rendered 5 cards | A search-engine snapshot of the same page reported 17. On the live page in August 2026 the heading said 16 and five listings actually rendered. Four of those five also appear on RentHub, so this is not an independent inventory — it is largely the same advertisers. |
| DDproperty — province condo directory | 1 entry, classified as an apartment | The province-bounded condo directory for Phrae returned a single result, in Rong Kwang, typed Apartment rather than Condominium. No registered condominium project surfaced anywhere in the province. |
| FazWaz — province condo search | 0 condos | Zero results, and — unlike some other provinces we have checked — its own trends box agreed with its empty grid, reporting ฿0 median price and 0 condos rather than printing a templated paragraph that contradicts it. |
Two things are worth naming explicitly. First, RentHub's own district facets do not reconcile with its own results: 18 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 24 against a displayed 25, and Song district has no facet at all despite a Song listing sitting in the same results page. Second, Hongpak is not a second opinion — four of the five Phrae listings it rendered also appear on RentHub. A building appearing on both portals is one advertiser, not two sources.
What the stock is like — the amenity filters
| Feature | Buildings advertising it | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Lift | 0 of 25 | Not one advertised apartment building in the entire province lists a lift. If you cannot manage stairs, this is the single most important fact on this page. |
| Swimming pool | 0 of 25 | None advertised anywhere in the province. |
| Fitness room | 1 of 25 | A single building. |
| Car parking | 24 of 25 | Effectively universal — the practical corollary of a province with no urban transit. |
| Air conditioning | 23 of 25 | Standard, but check: two entries do not list it. |
| Furnished | 23 of 25 | Standard. |
| Water heater | 22 of 25 | Standard, and it matters — Phrae's cool season is genuinely cool by Thai standards. |
| Wi-Fi in room | 20 of 25 | Common but not universal. Confirm the actual speed rather than the checkbox. |
| Keycard entry | 11 of 25 | Under half. |
| Pets allowed | 3 of 25 | Rare. If you have an animal, start the search from this filter. |
These are RentHub's own facet counts across the 25 Phrae entries. The zeros do more work than the high numbers: no lift and no pool anywhere in the province tells you plainly that Phrae's rental stock is low-rise walk-up blocks and houses, which is consistent with a province where no registered condominium surfaced at all.
Advertised rent bands by area
| Area | Advertised band | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Nai Wiang — the old city | ฿1,500 – ฿5,500 | The widest range in the province. The bottom is a dormitory room off San Klang 1 Road; the top is the newest blocks on Soi Phrae Thong 4 and Charoen Mueang Road. One home-office house inside the old town is advertised separately at ฿10,000. |
| Na Chak & the bypass | ฿2,500 – ฿3,800 | The most consistent band. Small blocks around Phrae Hospital, on the Cho Hae road, the Nam Thong bypass and the Kosai Pracha Phatthana side. |
| Rong Kwang & the north | ฿1,200 – ฿3,700 | Three buildings, one of which advertises the widest internal range we saw anywhere in the province. |
| Sung Men | ฿3,600 | A single advertised building, at Wiang Thong on the Yantrakitkoson road. |
| Wang Chin | ฿1,500 – ฿2,500 | Two buildings in the district town, and the cheapest entry point in the province. |
| Song | ฿5,000 – ฿9,000 | One serviced house at Ban Klang, also let daily. Not an apartment, and not comparable to the bands above. |
| Den Chai & Long | Nothing advertised | Neither district had an advertised apartment entry on either portal when we looked. |
The one price conflict we found is worth printing rather than smoothing over: Baan Chiang Tha in Wang Chin is advertised at ฿1,500–2,500 on RentHub and ฿1,800–2,500 on Hongpak. Neither is necessarily wrong — one may simply be older — but it is a good illustration of why a portal figure is a starting point for a phone call and nothing more. See the areas guide for what each of these areas is actually like.
How stale is the listing set?
Materially. Of the 25 entries RentHub displayed, roughly a dozen carried 2026 timestamps — several of them from the same week we looked — but eleven had not been updated since before 2023, with individual listings dating from 2022, 2021, 2019, 2017, 2016 and, at the far end, 2015. A listing that has sat untouched for a decade is not evidence that the building still lets rooms, let alone at that price. Assume anything older than a year needs a phone call before you plan around it, and treat the province's advertised inventory as a directory of buildings worth visiting rather than as live availability.
