An architect in Thailand charges in a similar way to a professional architect anywhere in the world. They use a percentage fee of the overall projected construction cost of the project. For a house it can range from as low as 5% to as high as 10% depending on the skills, experience, licence level and knowledge of the architect. This will include all drawings ready for construction.

For a 10 million Baht house the good professional Thai architect may charge anywhere from 500,000 - 1 million Baht. If they are not so experienced and you are not bothered about productive good design then you might be able to find an unemployed one, lacking work or maybe not so creative architect who may do it for say 350,000 - 400,000. But most good professional architects will charge 5% upwards.

For larger commercial projects the fee maybe 2.5-7%. But much depends on the architects skills and the project.

Yes you have to use a licenced Thai architect as by law to apply or obtain permissions to build, the drawings have to be done and signed by a licenced Thai architect, they have to provide his/her licence details and have to be in the Thai language. There are a fair few to choose from. Probably the best designers in Thailand and best architects for top range luxury homes is Asetti. Do a search their web site will come up. For a more reasonable moderate home, try thailandarchitects.com

Remember design is a very important part. The home is only built from what drawings are provided. So working with a good architects is essential.
