The six questions that decide whether a plot works
Title grade
Chanote, or Nor Sor 4 Jor, is the strongest title in Thailand: GPS-surveyed boundaries, cleanly transferable, leasable and mortgageable. Lesser grades have vaguer boundaries and restrictions. If a listing does not state the title, ask why.
Slope
Koh Samui restricts hillside development. Steeper gradients mean lower height limits, fewer storeys, more retaining work and more cost. Under 35% is generally workable. Above that, get an architect’s view before you commit.
Road access
Concrete road to the boundary, or a dirt track? A track that works in March may be impassable in November, and building one is your cost. Check too whether access is a registered right of way on the title.
Water
Government mains at the boundary, or a well and rain collection? Deep wells work but they are a capital cost and can run low in a hard dry season.
Electricity
Government supply connected, available at the boundary, or coming soon? The difference between those three is significant money.
Preparation
Has the plot been filled and levelled and is it ready to build, or are you inheriting earthworks? On Koh Samui most raw land needs this and it is often a substantial fraction of the land price itself.
Can foreigners buy land in Koh Samui?
Not freehold in a personal name. The workable routes are a registered 30-year lease, renewable by contract, or a properly constituted Thai limited company with genuine Thai shareholders. Nominee shareholder structures are not legal in Thailand, regardless of how commonly they are offered. Several of our land listings are sold with an existing company, which simplifies transfer. Take independent legal advice before you commit to a structure.
Common questions
Compare per rai, never by total price. One rai is 1,600 sqm. Prices range from around 4 million baht per rai inland to 40 million baht per rai on the beachfront. Sea view plots sit between the two.
Chanote (Nor Sor 4 Jor) is the strongest, with GPS-surveyed boundaries and clean transfer. Weaker grades carry vaguer boundaries and limits on what you can build and sell. We state the title grade on every land listing.
Not freehold in a personal name. Land is held on a registered 30-year lease or through a properly structured Thai limited company. Be cautious of nominee shareholder structures, which are not legal in Thailand.
It depends heavily on the plot. Flat, prepared land with utilities at the boundary is far cheaper to build on than a steep plot needing retaining, drainage and a new access road. We flag slope, utilities and preparation on every listing so you can budget before you buy.
