Koh Samui

Koh Samui, Thailand's second-largest island in Surat Thani province, is a tropical destination renowned for its palm-fringed beaches, upscale tourism and sea-view villa market. The island draws international investors and residents charmed by island living, luxury resorts and an airport linking Bangkok and regional hubs. Supply is mainly private pool villas on the hillsides, sea-view houses and a few condos in areas such as Chaweng, Bophut, Maenam and Lamai. Foreigners typically acquire villas on long leasehold or via a suitable structure, as land freehold is restricted to them. With strong holiday-rental demand and premium positioning, Koh Samui combines an idyllic lifestyle with high year-round tourist rental income potential.
