Welcome to the third and final article in our series about the best neighborhoods to buy property in Koh Samui. We’ve covered many untouched and undeveloped Koh Samui neighborhoods ripe for development and future dividends in part 1 and part 2 of this series.
We will now cover a new set of Koh Samui neighborhoods to buy villas from, which you can turn into your future residence, rental property, commercial resort, or time share property. If you wish to know what separates these neighborhoods from the rest, keep on reading.
Here are our final six list of the best neighborhoods to invest in currently in Koh Samui for your future residence, commercial establishment, or property development.
The best real estate investments don't come from already established ones where you have to pay a premium to live there. It's instead from unknown prime real estate neighborhoods like Ban Tai that remain unknown to the public.
Ban Tai has a feeling of lackadaisical mischief and merriment to it. It's the "Hakuna Matata" of Koh Samui neighborhoods where you can relax and unwind.
Also known as Baan Tai, it's a hidden gem of a beach filled with fine, light creamy sand on the shore that spreads palm tree shades throughout like Mother Nature's natural palette mix of blue seas and creamy sands turning into verdant green forests.
Meanwhile, the transparent waters on the shores of Ban Tai then turn into shades of jade and turquoise across the infinite horizon. Is there a catch to this seemingly ideal beach?
Yes. Watch out for the wide strip of underwater seaweed that darkens the waters a few meters from the seashore. Aside from that? It's practically nearly perfect in every way.
A high-level beach should be complemented in kind by a stylish boutique beachfront hotel for Sale in Ban Tai.

What does this fully built hotel bring to the table? It's a 14-bed beachfront hotel with a stunning ocean view from each and every bedroom. Many would want to stay here while in Ban Tai or in any neighboring Koh Samui villages.
There's also covered car parking for guests and private uncovered parking for the rest of the visitors. It covers all its bases in more ways than one.
What's more, it enjoys spacious private pool suites, direct beachfront access to Ban Tai beach, landscaped lawns, a laundry room, maid quarters, free Wi-Fi, and a communal garden, and a communal swimming pool where you can enjoy some stress relief.
In the COVID-19 context, you can really practice social distancing care of a private beach hotel in secluded Ban Tai.
It also has its own Bar & Restaurant you can rent out to interested parties or own for yourself to entertain your patrons on top of sun loungers and an office/reception area to greet your hotel guests.
Every inch of the hotel exudes professionalism and commercial potential, and it could all be yours at an affordable price instead of having to build a new hotel from the ground up.
Aside from its silly name to many a foreign investor's ear, what does Big Buddha have as its claim to fame as a Koh Samui neighborhood?
This neighborhood in Koh Samui's northeastern area, located in Ko Phan—a small offshore island—is home to Wat Phra Yai, known to tourists as the Big Buddha Temple. The temple is only part of the beachfront area there.
It's specifically home to a giant, 12-meter high gold-painted Buddha statue. It's so much more well-known for the Big Buddha Temple and statue that the shorthand name for it has become Big Buddha.
The beaches there offer seclusion worthy of a rehab tourism treatment center for any tourist (that is, most tourists) sick of having to go through throngs of crowds or a sea of humanity in more public beaches.
The Caribbean and Acapulco should watch out for this immaculate beachfront neighborhood when it makes itself known to tourists everywhere in the future! It's prime real estate for the taking, with a gorgeous villa to match!

This property is in an idyllic hillside location of Big Buddha close to beaches, shops & restaurants.
Admittedly more of a commercial rental than a home for you to live in, it's still worth a look when all is said and done due to its reduced price. You're assured of excellent rental returns when push comes to shove!
You know as a potential landlord, you'll surely get takers for your 4-bedroom villa since it's near one of Thailand's key attractions that exemplify what Thailand is all about—the Big Buddha!
On top of being a beachfront property, it's also home to Thailand's equivalent of New York's Statue of Liberty or Rio De Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer.
It comes with immaculate quality finishes as a brand new apartment, 200 meters distance from the beach, fully furnished accommodations, and a contemporary chic design and décor that contrasts and complements your all-natural surroundings.
It's built to last and it offers 180-degree sea views from end to end of your compound worthy of a postcard or nature documentary poster. The fitted kitchen, meanwhile, has a modernist western design full of brand name appliances.
What better way to indulge in island life than to invest in an area wherein a world-famous tourist attraction literally lies?
What about Hua Thanon? What's its deal? It's both a beach and a housing development kind of neighborhood.
The northern part of Hua Thanon beach has a small bay full of smoothened water stones on the shore. It has light reddish coarse sand and anchored pleasure boats by the shore along with motor boats and yachts that indulge in Thai water sports.
The south of the beach reaches out to the wide expanse of the sea. From there, its grainy reddish sand gets replaced with smooth grey and white fine sand instead.
It's at this serene beachfront and seaside neighborhood where you can avail of the beachside Koh Samui villa. It's located within a resort and is a 3-bedroom and 4-bathroom property.
Just on the south of Samui is a secure gated development you can depend on to safeguard yourself and your neighbors in case you wish to settle there.

Long story short, if you wish for a 3-bedroom villa with its own swimming pool, manicured lawns, and a beachfront view of a white sandy beach, then this is the deal for you.
To an English speaker, Ban Makham sounds like a comic book sound effect instead of a Koh Samui neighborhood. As far as Samui island realty is concerned, it's prime real estate indeed.
It's another destination property you can live in, make resorts or hotels for yourself, or use as a vacation home after retirement. Its real estate value is just as impactful as its sound effect name.
It has a beach that's renowned for its picturesque sunsets, its invigorating sunrises, its mild tropical climate, and the cleanest, most pristine beaches of infinite blue washing over soft white powdered sandbars.

It's part of this list of quality Koh Samui neighborhoods mostly because it's located on a hillside that ensures your complete privacy when push comes to shove. You can also indulge in private swimming in its own infinity-edge swimming pool.

Laem Yai, like your boots, is a beach that's made for walking instead of swimming. You can swim in it, don't get us wrong. It's just that you can also stroll around without worrying about the coarse sand ruining your flip-flops, slippers, or crocs.
More to the point, it boasts of fine powdery soft sand with a healthy cream shade. It's like walking on baby powder but with none of the allergy-activating perfume added to it.
The Laem Yai beach sits at the western coast of the cape with the same name. It's also separated from the rest of the world by a gate of coconut trees that dominate the area.

Last but not least (for this guide anyway) is Ban Kao. Bang Kao Beach is a panoramic area of Samui Island, sitting on the Southern coast between the mouth of the Ban Thale River and the Laem Sor Pagoda.
Ban Kao has its share of rentals and properties for sale because it's a luxury tropical beach that showcases the best locations and resources Koh Samui has to offer.
