Short answer: If you are comparing website costs in Chiang Mai, a useful business website for under ฿10,000 is possible, but you need to know exactly what the price includes, what it leaves out and which recurring costs to allow for. This guide separates those items, using our published prices as a practical example.

What can a ฿10,000 website budget in Chiang Mai realistically buy?

At this price, you can usually buy a website with a clear, focused structure. The two common formats are:

  • A one-page website — Everything sits on one page. It suits a business with one main service, such as a massage shop, restaurant or freelancer that wants visitors to understand the offer and make contact quickly.
  • A small multi-page business website — Services, about and contact information sit on separate pages. This is useful when the business has several services or more information to organise.

At NIGHTGLYPH, our one-page package is ฿4,900 for up to five sections, a mobile layout and LINE or phone actions. Our small business package is ฿9,900 for up to five pages, editable WordPress content, a contact form and basic SEO. Read more about our business website service and what it includes. These are the package prices shown on 10 October 2026. Domains, hosting and work outside the stated scope are separate.

What is usually not included in the build price?

The package price covers design and development. These items are commonly separate, including in our proposals:

Item Approximate cost Notes
.com or .net domain About ฿450–500/year No company documents are required. Register it in the business owner’s name, rather than letting the developer own it.
.co.th domain About ฿800–860/year Thai business-registration documents are required, and the domain must relate to the registered business or trademark.
Hosting About ฿500–3,500/year The price depends on the site and provider.
Monthly care: software updates and backups ฿590/month Outdated WordPress software creates security risk. This package does not include content changes or new features.
Online store, custom system or integrations Quoted separately These sit outside a standard website package.
Copy and photography Provided by the owner Most packages expect the client to supply text and licensed images. Ask before signing if you need writing or photography.

These estimates come from major Thai registrars and hosting providers checked on 10 October 2026. New and renewed .com domains were roughly ฿450–490/year; .co.th domains were ฿800–856/year; shared hosting was roughly ฿500–3,500/year. Temporary promotions are excluded, and these are market estimates rather than prices guaranteed by NIGHTGLYPH.

Questions to ask before hiring any provider

  1. How many pages or sections does the price include, and how is additional work charged?
  2. How many revision rounds are included, and what counts as a revision? We include two rounds within the agreed scope.
  3. Can you edit the content yourself, or must you pay for every change?
  4. Who owns the domain, and can you move the website and domain if you stop using the service?
  5. Which monthly or annual costs apply, and what do they exclude?
  6. Does the proposal describe the scope clearly, or show only one total price?

Warning signs behind an unrealistically low price

  • There is no written scope, only a number in a chat message.
  • The provider says “everything is included” without listing what everything means.
  • The domain and hosting are held in the developer’s name, so leaving the service could mean losing control of the site.
  • There are no revision terms, which often leads to disputes about what is included later.

Summary: a small budget is workable; an unclear scope is the problem

A website under ฿10,000 can serve a small business well when the scope is clear. Compare what you receive for the price, rather than choosing the lowest number, and allow a few thousand baht per year for the domain, hosting and maintenance from the beginning.
