Everything worth reading before you buy

Buying on Samui is not complicated once somebody explains the structure. These are written to be read in order.

For buyers

How foreigners can buy — the one rule that shapes everything, and the four legal routes around it: a condominium owned freehold in your own name, a registered lease on land, owning a villa's building while leasing the ground under it, and a genuine Thai company. Also what a nominee arrangement is and why it is not an option.

What buying actually costs — transfer fee, stamp duty, withholding tax and the rest of what arrives after the asking price, which is the part most first-time buyers have not budgeted for.

Is Samui a good investment in 2026 — what rental yields on the island really look like, how seasonality moves them, and what a buyer is actually paying for.

Earn while you wait to sell — for owners whose villa is already on the market: we look after it and let it earn during the wait, and you leave the moment it sells. Также по-русски.

Area by area

Where a property sits on Samui changes its price, its rental season and who wants to buy it next. One guide per area, each with what it is actually like to own there.

  • Chaweng — the busiest beach, the strongest short-stay demand
  • Lamai — quieter than Chaweng, and cheaper per square metre
  • Mae Nam — long flat beach, the north-west village
  • Bophut — Fisherman's Village, and where our office is
  • Choeng Mon — small bays on the north-east headland
  • Bang Por — sea views and hillside plots on the north coast
  • Koh Phangan — the next island, and a separate market

What we do

Villa & rental management — guest handovers, cleaning, pool and garden, bills and upkeep, for owners who are not on the island.

Our management track record — the villas Chowrest looks after and how they have actually performed, rather than a page of adjectives.

Buying as an investment — a short, hand-picked list of listings worth looking at for yield, and what we can honestly say about the return.

Everything Chowrest does — buying, selling, letting, management, valuation and co-listing in one place.

For owners and agents — co-list with us, or put your villa into management.
