Koh Samui is primarily a villa market. Foreigners can own condominium units freehold within each building's 49% foreign quota, but cannot own land directly — pool villas are typically held on a registered long lease or through a Thai company. The developments below span the upscale north-east headlands of Choeng Mon and Plai Laem, the Bophut hills above Fisherman's Village, and the better-value east coast at Lamai. Figures are indicative; always verify tenure, quota and current pricing per unit.
