So did they change the law so falangs could actually buy property there? My understanding is that foreigners are not allowed to buy property.
@@conniereagan thats so true dude..take care and all the best for you
Whats the name of the song at the end ?
@@conniereagan yeah pretty much, the only thing foreigners can buy is condos
Visited Koh Samui in 1976. Back Packers like myself were the only visitors. Big beach hut on the water one US Dollar a night. Electricity was by generator only 5pm to 7pm for dinners. Paradise.
Wow! Thanks for the lovely insight on the beautiful island me and my wife fell in love with just last year.
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].
Nothing wrong with that setup!
Rent everything, own nothing!
My favourite’s the 2nd villa. It’s takes living within nature to a REAL level
The design is lit. But I am mesmerized by the ocean view of No.3🥰
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...
Many gold diggers in those areas.
Works great! Until your companion finds out that she can take out a loan against the property..😳
Who the hell uses random local 40iq Thais to buy mansions 💀 At this point in wealth you'd have access to so many workarounds that the law would not matter
really? can you explain how foreigners do it?
@@adambennett1193 Direct ownership is not possible but a company Thai limited company can own. You can own 49% of the LTD, but at that stage you can mess around with the voting share structure and contractual obligations to ensure full control. If you are shopping for houses in this price range you will have access to good lawyers that will ensure bullet clad arrangements and contracts to ensure ownership and control of the land.
My favourite is number 3. What a beautiful property and the views are wonderful. Thank u.
PLEASE DO MORE videos like this. The editing and sound choice was masterful.
wow, thanks!
I expected this beautiful home to be way more. Only 603K USD amazing!!!! I am talking about the first home. The other two are a lot more but are absolutely breathtaking, especially the last one with the most beautiful views imaginable.
#3 is absolutely stunning ❤️❤️❤️
Samui always will hold a place on my heart ❤ I had such a great time there in 2018 when I first went travelling, I didn't want to leave samui 😁 such lovely people there, great environment to stay in, nice beaches, beautiful scenery, nice nightlife, it had it all!
Would actually break my heart to visit now and see it a shadow of its former self due to the last few years 💔
I would love to get myself a basic condo there or in BKK for sure 🙏 love from Ireland to my lovely Thai brothers and sisters 💜
Thank you so much for your love of my beloved country.
Yeah I'm currently traveling in Koh samui even though things are picking up alot of places are closed.
Phangan is better. Away from all the touristy commercialism of Samui.
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.
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.
That 1st one for 600k is a steal!
I thought foreigners could only own condos. How do you buy a villa like those?
Still watching KITKO. but thank gog i can still enjoy your interviewing skill’s. Just submitted to your channel and it feels like a gift to myself. Keep on doing the good work. People really neef to hear this. Love from Holland
An excellent showcase of high end villas on Koh Samui. Andrew has a natural ability for this kind of media. You guys a make a great team. Bravo.
Thanks, Glen. We had a great afternoon out in the south of the island
Well, I really love Koh Samui, but for US$ 5M, I'd get a fantastic house on the French Riviera. #3 house is magnificent, but seems way overpriced to me...
It is very overpriced but some rich Chinese will come along one day and fall in love and buy it. That's how it works
imagine buying a $5M house with half of the amount financed by the owner. JUST FUCKIN BUY ONE FOR $2.5M CASH
It's overpriced for Samui. That's 2Million odd tops for that place.
@@marcushojring8415 rich people don't get or stay rich by throwing away their money. Most Chinese millionaires are noveau rich and are therefore clued in to the world or at least will have advisers.
I am not saying there are no rich people who overpay for things but it doesn't happen as often as you think. I Would be astounded if anyone paid 5million usd for this admittedly beautiful house, and I am pretty lame when it comes to finances .
Agree. 600k for the first, 5m for the second. Somethings wrong.....
Great video Chris 👍
it IS legally possible for foreigners to buy property in Thailand. Foreigners are allowed to own property with some restrictions. Foreigners are allowed to own condos but are prohibited from entirely owning land (such as villas or townhouses).
Loving the nature beauty of Thailand and villa's were beautiful in middle of the jungle
The look on his face when you said "we'll tell you how we met on another video" - instantly popped into my head "Soi Cowboy"
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.
The last one got a wonderful view. But I still think it's too expensive compare to the first two.
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 :)
I met a girl in Windsor that lived in London Ontario. What a beautiful city London is.
??
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
🙏🏻 Thank you for liking and love Thailand 🙏🏻 Thank you for choosing to stay in Thailand 🇹🇭 I like your positive thoughts on Thailand ❤💗❤ 👉 important for every video of you That's great! 👍 💯
Don't forget the up keep of a home like those cost Tons of money too . But yeah , when when you got lot of bucks go ahead . But it is well out of mine budget . 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
5m for the last one, kinda expensive but daaaaam, DAAAAAM that villa is sooo beautiful, imagine how expensive the same villa with the same views would cost in europe or the usa
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"
I don't trust the property laws in thailand with such a huge lands are not allowed to own by foreigners and don't get cheated by these guys in Koh Samui, kingdom of thailand kap.🤮
LDNONT represent!!! And wow those properties sure make me wanna find a way to make more money. Unreal. Love the modern baller vibes mixed with nature
Dm me
Come on Chris. Where is Moonstone, you have the best villa in all of Samui. Probably Thailand. You have a sweeet crib. You are one of the richest dudes in Samui. I just watch you.
I think that one is mortgaged? I heard that he is a great host for that ABNB.
Its a CHRIS JOKE. hahaha ha
House of light is so stunning..💖
Nice properties, but 600k USD.. Damn. The build cost is likely around 150k USD. Land 50-150k... That's a nice profit for the builder and seller.
I don't have that much money but wish I did for Quartz House! What a beautiful home and spectacular piece of land.
I always love real estates tour. Please do it constantly. 💕💖
No.2 Quartz is OUTSTANDING!!!
No.3 is TO DIE FOR view!
Glad you enjoyed the tour.
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..
Wonder how many people you'd need to hire to keep the place clean and for maintenance.
Another nice video, buddy. Good to see Hugh's place, Quartz House, coming into full fruition. I remember him taking me up to see it when it was little more than a rock and an idea. Looks incredible now.
Right on. Quartz House sits well with nature all around it.
This is crazy, I’ve been watching the channel for a couple weeks now and I’m just finding out you’re from London like me.
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.
It was cool to meet you in person near the Bangrak Pier in Koh Samui a few days ago. Keep up the good work!
What is avalable for $100,000, usd?
It would be nice if you can explain how a foreigner can own land in Thailand.
From what I know a foreigner cannot, unless a Thai person is involved with the property.
You can’t
You can create a small corporation and purchase it under that.
Many foreigners i have met over the years, own houses in Thailand, a good agent and lawyer will help @@@
Alan isn’t a sucker…
Amazing properties. Just subbed to your channel, lots of love from the UK. I miss Thailand!
Outstanding!!!! Thanks!!!! I can't even buy a bathroom for $500K here in Brooklyn
NY is too expensive. BUT…bkk real estate also overpriced. Here in Samui, it is reasonable.
Entertaining and funny af. 🙌🏼👏🏼🤘🏼
I was in Koh Samui in 1992 it was so much nicer then what you can see in this video, it was a Thai island with some backpackers. The place was "far" from the rest of the world.... a place to smoke and relax in an authentic environment, I think it s really sad that this beautiful place became a tourist spot where you can buy these sorts of "houses", has nothing to do how I remember this place..
the sad part is the price range is out of reach for locals.
Mate i live in brisbane city and in 1992 it was all farm land and single lane highways. Nothing is what it was 30 yr ago
Ps samui is my spirit home now 14 years. Its pretty special (lamai-laemsor-taling ngam ❤)
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 !!!
That is an option a potential buyer is considering right now
man i wish i was rich. thanks for the videos i really enjoyed it
Those are some fantastic homes on Samui, now you gotta show some of the really really outrageously expensive homes on Phuket. Nice video enjoyed it thank you
Well the third one is crazzzzzyyyyy. Wow what a beauty!
Exceptional properties!! But how do you get a late-night pizza? 😆
Awesome Chris & Andrew~ Will be DREAMING Tonight*. = Dry/Country/TX.* lol...
Wow....very beautiful property
O wow , tbe last one is my dream place 😮🙏👌💛
When You Stop Dreaming You Stop Living. I will probably live forever now after seeing this - Thanks Chris
You could have similar properties in north Bali for 1/5 of those prices and Bali has way more to see and do than Samui 😀
If you like road traffic , polluted nature and requisitions for everything Bali is definitely your choice, lol.
@@УсенкоДмитрий yes, but I said north Bali; no traffic there. Yes, way fewer restaurants and no coffee shops, but still nice 😊
@@cber5077 can you bring dogs to Bali?
@@nicksleeper9114 that I don’t know
No you lease the house, you don’t own it.
Love the last one
ผมโตในสมุยเป็นคนพื้นที่ มาเห็นอะไรแบบนี้มันเกินไป เกินไปแบบ สวยเกินไปแล้วววว อยากถูกหวยแล้วอยากได้สักหลังนึงเลย
I can wait till Bitcoin blast off to 1M. thank for your video.
Thank you for this type of content. I love it. Does Andrew has his own youtube channel?
The world is crazy.
I own a 105 sqm flat in central europe and I could sell it for 1,3-1,4 million USD...
Luxury and Elegance here, 🔝 Class.
Thank you for sharing and the video of 3 homes in quiet south side of Kho Samui were awesome
It would be cool to see some beach houses on an episode like this...
BRILLIANT IDEA!!
Wow that Quartz house is incredible.
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?
It’s a beautiful house, no doubt about it, but living in Samui I would be bored out of my mind.
as much to do as many places. Swimming cycling etc possible just about every day>usual tv internet stuff also. Winter weather gets down to about 25C!
In my hometown in the south of England, 20million baht will get you a decent three-bedroom attached house next to a canal and hairdressers
Quartz House is very cool.
Some amazing places, bro! wow. Though... I am interested in what that special request might have been at the end.... LOL
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 🙌🍻
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.
Great video, but I am not sure about legal property rights you get in exchange for your money. It is a leasehold or something.
Non Thais cannot own any land. Only condos or apartments.
Unfortunately it isn’t a Investment if you don’t own the land. Thailand is good for holiday
Most of the land in Koh Samui are National Parks and for agricultural purpose - according to the land zoning laws. Better check at the Surat Thani provincial office before attempt any buying.
Otherwise, you might wake up one day and the whole place has to be knocked down.
Before a house is purchased a lawyer must conduct due diligence which includes a visit to the Land Office to make sure the purchase is registered and legal.
Hi Chris.. Love from India ❤️❤️❤️
How do these houses battle the mosquitoes with everything open?
and snakes and spiders and all other insects
i live here and i dont find the mozzies a problem. Not many on the hills...u get alot on the roads at about 5-6pm on the way up the hills though. Literally some days not 1 in the villa even with windows open all day. But what thais do is turn is most effective ..turn a fan on. Mosquitoes are the 1st insect to take a break from wind since they are terrible overweight fliers. Snakes dont tend to go up footings , preferring to stay in long grass. Occasionally they get lost and wander in the house. So 2 things keep snakes away, houses on columns and footings (or bridges) ...anything where design reduces their cover, and short / less under growth around the property. Snakes like holes , warm dry areas under houses, they rarely just go in houses. At night we tend to close bedroom doors just in case. But they are really shy so u dont see many. U do get green tree snakes but they arent dangerous. Spiders arent dangerous here, nor scorpions. The most dangerous things about Samui are cobras, inexperienced motorcycle drivers, cement truck drivers and corrupt officials...oh and insanity from having fun!
Chris pls how can we contact andrew for the vila
😍😍 amazing .. this place so beautiful
spot on with the glass walls! The bathroom of my dreams
Funny thing; a normal run of the mill terraced house in the Netherlands that could house 1 family of 4 is just about the same price as a beautiful Thai modern villa. I’m going to cry.
So true. And 1.2M in HK you just get one studio apartment!!
Same as London
Outstanding video Chris and Andrew!!! I was wondering how long I was going to have to wait for a video addressing those of us who aren't going to have to pinch pennies when retirement comes just to see some housing. Asked and answered your honor! LOL!! Keep em coming please!!
I see Moonstone is now 20,000 sterling for 17days, so you should be in for a big bonus!!!
Great video, amazing content!💖😍💖 God bless u and your family. 🌹💕🌹Thank you for making us happy and smiling...💖🌹💖Keep rising and shining... sending lots of Love and care 💖💕💖from Sydney, Australia.
You just LOVE the word funky😂😂
well, it's a funky word
真是太棒的房子、有各種亮點房子，向屋主的智慧表示敬意！💯😅
Second house is my favorite!! oh and great job real estate agent in Koh Samui !
wow, I'm crazy with the touch of real stone inside the house.
Great video... I was on Samui 25 years ago... sadly much of the island is way overbuilt.
At the current prices for inflation in America this is ALOT of house for that price. You'd easily pay at minimum $1.2 million for something similar in Texas.
amazimg my country love it . thaks for show that alls ..
I would like to win the lottery too Chris and buy Villa Baan Sang, the house of light 😀That villa really is a beautiful gem on Samui!
how do the rich people live in Koh Samui - they live like Chris. He is the owner of Moonstone villa 😁
Thank you great video
I think best time would be light rain on all 3 properties. Clean feeling and rain noise will be awesome.
House number 2, was so close to airnbnb couple of years ago
Amazing
Hello Chris👋Thank you for another Fantastic video. Very entertaining, Informative, and Beautifully shot as always👌I'm always looking forward to your next upload brother😀 If these villas were to be rented out, what can one approximately expect to pay for a villa such as any one of these?
Stunning, absolutely Stunning!!!
