Where do buyers focus on Koh Samui?
The north east coast, Bophut, Fisherman’s Village, Choeng Mon and Plai Laem, is the prime area for villas and the easiest for access and amenities. Chaweng and Lamai are the busier beach and rental zones. Maenam and Bang Por on the quieter north west offer larger plots and lower prices. Most foreign owned homes are hillside villas with pools and sea views, held on a registered lease or through a Thai company as set out below.
