Local Intelligence

Koh Samui Market Insights

Investment Climate

Koh Samui is classified as a growing real estate market.

Rental Market

Investors can expect a gross rental yield of approximately 5.5% on a well-located residential property. Short-term rental demand driven by tourism, digital nomads and expat relocations remains a strong driver of occupancy in prime Koh Samui districts.

Foreign Ownership

Foreigners may own condominium units outright within Thailand's 49% foreign quota. In Koh Samui, alternative structures include long-term leasehold (30+30+30 years), Thai company ownership (BOI-eligible structures), and REIT-based exposure. Due diligence through a licensed Thai lawyer is strongly recommended.

Price Outlook

Koh Samui benefits from sustained expat inflows, infrastructure investment and Thailand's strong tourism recovery. Premium districts continue to outperform the national average. AI-scored property listings on Realty51 average 76/100 on listing quality ensuring accurate pricing data.
