Turned into Hawaii

I first came to Thailand in 2002 on an extended vacation and spent a couple of months on Koh Tao. It was a very sleepy destination and it was so easy to relax. I recall there wasn't much other than beach huts for Bt150/night, one small road that never had traffic, and a bunch of dive shops. If you wanted to extend your Thailand visit endlessly you only had to give your passport to "Mr J" for the one day visa run. I was impressed and thought other Thai islands would be similar. A few years later I made my first trip to Koh Samui for a wedding. The crowds were maddening, that ring road [esp on the north and east sides], was non-stop traffic, and as a holiday destination I felt it was overpriced. I did notice that the south of the island was so much quieter [nothing to attract tourists], so it makes sense to build a villa down that way. The places shown in the video are very luxurious-looking, but just not something I would ever spend that much money on. After many years in Asia [mostly China] I've always been skeptical of "owning" property in countries where the laws don't apply equally to foreigners. As someone who's recently become a "low-budget retiree" [whatever that's supposed to mean] in Bangkok I'll likely be a renter for the duration of my stay here [and I'm happy with that].

What's unfortunate is you cannot legally own land as a foreigner in Thailand. There are loopholes, but with them you always have to involve other people, usually local Thai. And you don't want to trust your life savings with other people...

Well, I think Samui is a better place than your new home in the Isle of Man, but I guess your wife is not going to approve of it lol.

Thank you for sharing and the video of 3 homes in quiet south side of Kho Samui were awesome

1st villa seems to be a good value. 2nd is a bit eccentric imo. 3rd is just way overpriced, but the view is stunning, probably not intend to sell.

A 10% decrease of THB vs USD over the last year does not explain this particular property going down 25%+. The Thai Baht is still stronger then it was in 2015-2017, it's still atm around the 2018 level. Also, prices is already going up, it started months ago, the buyers are back already. Well, the prices were so low after Covid hit that it could only be going up after that.

Thank you for this great video sir! Awesome places!

Beautiful properties love the second one 🔥👍🏿

The first two houses reminded me of land locked Hawaiian estates. Never really saw the point of that. Thailand and Hawaii are about the beaches and the ocean. I like these videos better than the "on the cheap vids," though. I'm thinking of moving to Thailand, primarily for the time difference, but don't have much interest in living like a Thai, off of small 1K rentals and street food. One of the things I like about Thailand, is it runs the gamut from "on the cheap" to just as expensive as the West, depending on what a person can, and wants to, spend.

Awesome places, now first thing first, gotta get me some lottery tickets, wish me luck C.J. 😉 And as always, C Ya in the next one, cheers 🙌🍻

Beautiful places for rich people who would come for 2 weeks a year. Nice for a party, wedding, or if you bring 10 friends. For me, it's the definition of boring, but it's just me. Foreigners can't own land directly, so it would be nice to have details of the "montage"

Wow that Quartz house is incredible.

wow, I'm crazy with the touch of real stone inside the house.

The last one got a wonderful view. But I still think it's too expensive compare to the first two.

WOW, that 2nd house is amazeballs. I would want to build a "fire watch" style tower that would let me climb up and sit and read with a gorgeous 360 view of atop the hill

SPOILER ALERT: - - - - I was spot on for the first, bit off for the second and wayyyy off for the first haha. I thought: 1) 18-20m 2) 35-38m 3) 55-58m I found the third to be wayyyy too expensive tbh. Don't get me wrong - the villa is absolutely stunning and beautiful and the view is incredible. But from what's shown in the video, there doesn't seem to be much land/place to walk around the property and at a 5m$ price tag I would expect more land to move around. And for that same price range, you can have way better in places like Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai for example. Thanks for the video, Chris! Sawadee pee mai :)

the 3rd is very nice I do think that the 2nd one is in need of an update and could rival the third ... they all are nice in the end. 5 million for the last but 1.2 million for the 2nd is a good deal .... I would take the 2nd and renovate !!!

And i am just as happy with my little place . I have no need for that ..Sorry Chris , And i am from T.O too . where a little place cost well over a million bucks nowadays

What's the ownership situation on these? Is it the usual Thai owner or Thai Company arrangement? Is it leasehold? Can farang buy leasehold properties alone, or do they still need a Thai partner/Company?

House number 2, was so close to airnbnb couple of years ago Amazing

There is a problem, because you cant own land/lot as a foreign person in Thailand, but you can rent the land/lot for like 30 years (not sure about the 30 years). It means that you rent the land/lot and then build what you want..

I have a house on koh Samui for sale at only 7.9m baht and in these times it's a difficult sell, I cant imagine people parting with this sort of money.
