What to know before you choose
Where they are
- Layan and Surin: the island's highest prices per m², large plots, private beaches nearby.

- Laguna, Bang Tao: estates with services and golf.
- Cape Panwa: private headland villas with bay views.
What to expect at this level
Large plots, multiple pavilions, staff quarters, cinema or gym, branded management. Many are sold privately; ask about off-market villas.
Checks that matter more here
- Clean title and a registered lease on a Chanote, or a genuine condominium registration for branded villas.
- No company or nominee shortcut: at this value, a compliance problem is expensive. See Thai company ownership.
- View protection and neighbouring development.
- If you will rent it out: the operator's licence and audited results; see renting out legally.
- The money route and documents from day one; see money transfer.
