Buying Property on Koh Samui – Investment, Lifestyle, or Both?

Stunning seaview villas

What Can Foreigners Legally Own in Thailand?

  • Leasehold (Up to 30 Years)
    Simple, secure, and widely used. Lease terms of up to 30 years, often with renewal clauses.

  • Freehold Apartments & Condominiums
    Own in your own name under the 49% foreigner quota. No lease or workaround required.

  • Thai Company Ownership (Use Caution)
    More complex — only for genuine business owners. Most expats should stick with leasehold or condo freehold.

Investment Returns – What’s Possible?

  • 10%+ rental returns are achievable with the right property.

  • Capital gains potential — especially with off-plan or under-construction buys.

  • Short-term rentals during high season can generate strong cashflow.

Lifestyle Benefits That Go Beyond Numbers

  • Own your own retreat — no more holiday rentals.

  • Use it for remote work, retirement planning, or simply escape the cold.

  • Thai food, warm weather, easy living — a place that genuinely enhances your life.
