Sea-view & beachfront land in Koh Samui

Koh Samui’s hillsides offer some of the best sea-view land in Thailand, with elevated plots overlooking the Gulf from Plai Laem, Choeng Mon and Lamai. Beachfront land is far rarer and tightly held — when a beachfront plot comes to market, it moves fast. Tell us your view, budget and plot size, and we’ll send matching sea-view and beachfront listings as they appear.

Chanote & Nor Sor Sam land titles explained

The land title deed defines exactly what you’re buying. A Chanote (Nor Sor 4 Jor) is the gold standard — precisely surveyed with clear boundaries — and the title most buyers look for. Nor Sor Sam Gor land can often be upgraded to Chanote. We verify every title at the Land Department and review ownership structures with an independent lawyer before you proceed.

Use the filters above to sort by area, plot size, title type and price.

FAQ - Lands for Sale in Koh Samui

Can foreigners buy land in Koh Samui?

Foreigners cannot directly own land in Thailand. The most widely used option is a long-term leasehold — typically 30 years with a renewal clause — which can be registered at the Land Department.

Other structures exist but are subject to specific Thai regulations that have evolved significantly in recent years and require careful legal review on a case-by-case basis.

NOTE: Thai Limited Companies under a nominee structure is not Legal in Thailand. Setting up a Thai Limited Company will require real Thai investors and has to be executed by professional legal advisors.

Three Seasons Properties strongly recommends working with an independent, qualified Thai lawyer before any land purchase.

Popular areas for land investment include :

  • Chaweng (ideal for commercial projects due to its vibrant tourist scene)
  • Bophut (known for upscale developments and proximity to Fisherman’s Village)
  • Lamai (tranquil settings for private residences or resorts), and Maenam (perfect for beachfront or hillside retreats with good value for money).

Land options in Koh Samui include beachfront plots, hillside lots with panoramic sea views, flat garden plots ideal for villa construction, centrally located parcels for commercial use, and larger tracts suitable for boutique resort development.

Land prices vary depending on location, size, title deed type, and accessibility. Beachfront and sea view plots typically range from ฿10 million to over ฿50 million per rai (1,600 sqm). Hillside or inland plots are generally more affordable. The median price per sqm is approximately ฿4,500–8,000 depending on the area.

A Chanote (Nor Sor 4 Jor) is the highest form of land title in Thailand. It is GPS-surveyed, precisely bounded, and provides full legal protection.

All construction permits can be obtained on Chanote land, and it carries the highest resale value.

When buying land in Koh Samui, a Chanote title is strongly recommended.

Yes. Koh Samui has zoning laws that govern building heights, distances from the sea (typically 200 metres from the high-water mark), and permitted land use.

These restrictions must be verified before purchase.

Three Seasons Properties can connect you with legal experts familiar with local planning regulations.

Additional costs typically include transfer fees (2% of the registered value), specific business tax or withholding tax depending on the seller’s status, legal fees for due diligence, and any land preparation costs such as access road development or utility connections.

This depends on the land’s zoning classification and whether a building permit has been obtained.

Permits are available for Chanote and Nor Sor Sam Gor titles.

Construction must comply with local height restrictions and coastal setback rules.

A qualified lawyer or architect can guide you through the permitting process.

Key considerations include :

  • the land title type (Chanote is preferred)
  • ownership history,
  • road access
  • available utilities (electricity, water)
  • zoning regulations
  • proximity to the coast or amenities
  • environmental restrictions.


Professional due diligence is essential before signing any sales agreement.
