Market Insights

Yield Variance

Net yields across Thai island zones average 7.0% and top out at 7.1% — ownership structure (foreign-freehold condo vs leasehold villa) and season length drive the spread.

Market Liquidity

Phuket carries the deepest inventory and transaction volume; Koh Samui trades lower entry prices for stronger villa yields.

Capital Entry

Entry-level Thai island investment properties start around $150k USD, with beachfront Phuket villas commanding significant premiums.
