The REAL Cost of Thailand's Digital Nomad Island 🇹🇭

Join me as I show you around my $700 House in Thailand on the beautiful island of Koh Samui!
Koh Samui has long been one of Thailand’s most popular tourist destinations - but is it like for living long term? If you're curious about the cost of living in Koh Samui and the best place to stay in Koh Samui 2023, then this video has everything you need to know!

    Hi Ryan! The apartment for the price paid and its size was a really good deal! Now prices are back to pre-pandemic and even higher. No more good deals 😅 Loved the video 😊

    phenomenal price! That flat could house a multigenerational family with 3 bed and 2 bath and a well kitted kitchen. If I'm on Koh Samui as a visitor, I intend to spend most of my time out and about so my accomodations need not be fussy at all. Thanks for another great video - I feel as if I decided to do the nomad gig I could watch a series of your videos and know just how to do it, and do it quite well. Thanks!

    Yeah I totally agree - this is better for a long term stay, no need for so much space if you are sightseeing all day. There were lots of families staying in the complex when we were there - seems like a great place for that

    I know you think you got a deal at your condo, but its not a deal. It's a foreigner price, bad owners overcharged you. Other Thai ppl staying at better condos paying under $500 US.

    I understand this, and you booked through airbnb. I still think you could of received a better deal. I saw some houses for rent at the time you are there, some nice homes could be rented out for around $450-$600. I think the people who listed on airbnb do not know what the market valve for their properties and they know foreigners will overpay. I know Koh Samui is 30-40% more expensive than other islands, but not at the time you rented the place at the end of the pandemic.

    @@ethanlee7125 It's true that Airbnb is often more expensive, but it's also more flexible for short term stays (hence why you sometimes pay more). Most of the best deals that you are talking about are for 6 to 12 month contracts - which we did not want at the time. I challenge you to find a 3 bedroom house with swimming pool and gym in the same area for the prices you mention - impossible for a 2 month stay
