New developments are limited in Koh Samui, and this helps to maintain the natural beauty of the island. It also means that there is a lot of competition for available property and this helps to push prices up in the long term. The rising property prices are a good reason why you should invest in Koh Samui.
The local economy is understandably focused on tourism and this includes catering to the expats and Thais living on the island. Tourism is not the only thing driving the economy on the island, and more businesses have been moving onto the island in recent years.
Investors can also expect to find a range of property types for sale, including beach houses, villas, luxury condos or lands. The price range can also vary considerably from budget accommodation, to high-end luxury villas and houses.
The Koh Samui property market is also more affordable than in many other parts of the world, and is also quite interesting comparing to the other locations in Thailand.
