Island · Surat Thani

Koh Samui, bought on documents rather than on a view.

Sea-view villas, buildable land and development plots on an island where the title, the access and the slope decide whether a project is possible at all.

The market

The good plots are known. The difficult ones are the ones offered to foreigners.

Samui has matured into a genuine investment market: an international airport, year-round arrivals, and a rental economy strong enough to support well-run villas. It has also matured into a market where prices for sea-view land have outrun the paperwork behind it.

We source through partner agencies and local brokers, then apply the same filter to everything: what does the title say, what can legally be built, how does the water and road access work, and what will it actually rent for.

What we source

Three ways into the island.

Completed villas

Ready to occupy or already rented. Fastest route to income, with the structure and the rental history verified before purchase.

Buildable land

Plots with a clear title, road access and a realistic building envelope — checked at the Land Office before a deposit is discussed.

Turnkey development

Land, design, contractor and supervision handled as one project, with the financial model built before the first drawing.

Due diligence

What we check before you commit.

Roughly half the plots we are shown do not survive this list. That is the point of it.

Title and ownership

Document type and grade, registered owner, encumbrances, mortgages and the seller’s authority to sell.

Zoning and classification

What the local plan permits, height and density limits, slope restrictions and protected areas.

Access and utilities

Legal road access rather than tolerated access, plus water, power and drainage reality on site.

Boundaries

Survey against the title plan, because what is fenced and what is registered are not always the same.

Structure and tax

The ownership route available to you, the transfer costs, and what it means when you sell.

Numbers

Build cost per square metre, realistic occupancy, management fees and the yield that survives them.
