FAQ - Buying Land in Koh Samui

Foreigners cannot directly own land in Thailand. However, they can control land through a Thai Company Limited (most common), long-term leasehold (30 years renewable), or if married to a Thai national who holds the title. Always work with a reputable lawyer to set up the proper structure.

Land prices vary greatly by location. Beachfront commands ฿15-50+ million per rai. Sea view plots range ฿3-15 million per rai. Inland residential areas cost ฿1-5 million per rai. One rai equals 1,600 square meters.

Chanote (Nor Sor 4) is the highest form of land title - fully surveyed and guaranteed. Nor Sor 3 Gor is also acceptable with accurate GPS mapping. Avoid Sor Kor 1 and Por Bor Tor 5 which are merely possession documents. Always verify the title at the Land Office.
