The Investment Case

Why Koh Samui Outperforms

Koh Samui has established itself as one of Southeast Asia's most resilient luxury property markets. Demand from both lifestyle buyers and yield-focused investors continues to drive capital values upward — particularly in the beachside neighbourhoods of the north coast.

Actual yield in any given year depends on occupancy, nightly rates, operating costs, taxation, and buyer-specific factors including currency of funding and tax residency.

Ownership Structures

How Foreign Investors Can Buy

Thailand offers several well-established, legally recognised ownership structures for international buyers. Our team will guide you to the option that best suits your goals and circumstances.

01
Leasehold
The most common structure for foreign buyers. A long-term lease of 30 years. Fully legal and widely used. Provides all the benefits of ownership without the restrictions of freehold title.
02
Thai Company
A Thai Limited Company (with a minimum Thai majority shareholding) can hold freehold land title. With appropriate legal structuring, foreign investors can retain effective control of the company and the property. A common route for investors seeking freehold security.
03
Freehold (Thai nationals)
Thai nationals and qualifying foreign structures may purchase the villa and land under freehold title (Chanote), offering the highest level of ownership security and the strongest basis for future resale.
