Investing in Koh Samui real estate under ฿10 million THB is a financially shrewd decision, especially when compared to similar resort destinations globally.
The properties in this price range are often highly liquid and appeal to a wide tenant base-from long-term expats to short-term holidaymakers. A modern 2-bedroom villa or a premium condo can command excellent nightly rates during the high season, frequently generating rental yields that surpass those in capital cities like Bangkok. With professional property management available, owning an income-generating asset on a tropical island is effortless.
While the luxury segment can be volatile, the mid-range market remains stable with steady capital appreciation. Developments in Samui's infrastructure, including hospital upgrades, new international schools, and continued airport expansion, continuously solidify the island's appeal as a world-class destination, directly supporting property values in desirable residential areas.
The value is unparalleled. For ฿10 million, a buyer can often secure a private home with a pool and land (Chanote title), a rarity in many high-demand coastal markets elsewhere in the world. This value proposition ensures strong demand from both international investors and locals.
For foreign buyers, securing ownership in Thailand requires attention to local laws. Here are the two most common routes used for properties in the ฿10 million price segment:
Foreign nationals can legally own an apartment or condominium unit outright (Freehold) provided the total foreign ownership of the building does not exceed 49% of the total unit area. This is the simplest and most common route for condos in this price range.
Foreigners cannot legally own land in Thailand in their own name (with very limited exceptions). For houses and villas, the land is typically secured via a Leasehold agreement (a 30-year lease, often renewable for two further 30-year terms). Alternatively, many properties, especially new villas, are purchased through a Thai Limited Company structure, which holds the freehold land title. Both methods are common and offer a high degree of protection when structured correctly by a reputable legal firm.
Crucial Note: Always engage an independent, qualified, and experienced solicitor in Koh Samui to conduct thorough due diligence and manage the transaction for your peace of mind.
