Property for sale in Choeng Mon, Koh Samui

Choeng Mon occupies the north-east tip of Koh Samui, a short drive past the airport and around the headland from Chaweng. It is where people settle when they want to be close to everything the east coast offers but not in the middle of it. The main bay is a long curve of calm, sheltered water, with smaller coves on either side and a village of restaurants, cafés and small shops behind the beach.

The area’s appeal is practical as much as scenic. The airport is around ten minutes away, Chaweng’s beach and the island’s main shopping centre about twelve, and the International School of Samui is close by. The Big Buddha and the ferry piers at Bangrak are five minutes along the coast. For a year-round home or a family base, few parts of the island are as well placed.

Property here is more established than in most of the island. Many of the homes we present in Choeng Mon are finished, furnished houses rather than off-plan projects, set on the hillsides that rise behind the bays, with sunrise views across the water. Alongside them are townhouses and apartments a few minutes’ walk from the sand, which make the area accessible at a lower budget.

Land in Choeng Mon is scarce and much of it is held under Chanote title, the strongest form of Thai land deed. Several sellers here offer both freehold and leasehold routes; each listing sets out what is proposed, and our ownership guide explains the options.
