Market Review — Koh Samui
Koh Samui offers premium island property with strong vacation rental potential. The island attracts luxury travelers and long-stay digital nomads, particularly in the Chaweng, Bophut, and Maenam areas. Villa investments can yield 6-10% through vacation rentals. The island's international airport and growing medical tourism sector add stability to the investment case.
