As Property agents who have been closely involved in the Koh Samui sales market for many years, a number of supply side trends have become clearly evident over the last few years. One of these is the increasing number of new garden view villa developments brought to market in the 15M to 20M THB price range and beyond. The reason garden villas for sale in Koh Samui can now command these price levels is primarily due to shortages of sea view land. As land with a view of the ocean becomes increasingly scarce and expensive, developers looking to deliver medium price villa projects have naturally focused on offering homes with garden view locations.
From an investment standpoint, garden view villa developments priced at 15 million or more can certainly make sense because these types of projects often prioritise privacy and space. For property buyers who want a decent sized garden and outdoor living areas, compromising a sea view for a larger land plot can be a wise choice. Here we take a look at two new low-density garden view villa developments with launch prices from around 15 to 17M THB.
So what are the essential features that a new garden villa project on Koh Samui needs to fulfil to achieve these prices? As we will show below, this is a combination of developer reputation, privacy and space – which encompasses both design and the location on Koh Samui, as well as architecture aligned with current demand.
Chandara Choeng Mon
Why These Garden View Villas Command These Prices
Chandara Choeng Mon incorporates several of the key factors driving pricing in the garden villa sector of Koh Samui. Undoubtedly, one of its primary selling points is its premium Choeng Mon location on the prestigious north-east peninsula - one of the most sought-after areas for property investment.
The project is delivered by a proven local development and construction team, an important consideration for buyers at this level. The villas are designed in a contemporary yet restrained architectural style, aligned with current buyer demand.
Further justifying value for money, the villas provide a level of space and privacy that is increasingly difficult to achieve at this price point for properties of this quality. With built areas of around 360 sqm set on land plots of approximately 460 to 508 sqm, the layouts are structured around generous indoor and outdoor living. This includes approximately 70 sqm of open-plan living space, high ceilings, and expansive terraces arranged around private swimming pools, creating a strong indoor-outdoor connection.
Combined with low-density planning, no monthly maintenance fees and flexible ownership options, these factors support pricing from 15M THB and above despite the absence of sea views.
Project Overview
Chandara Choeng Mon is a boutique collection of four detached garden pool villas located approximately 1 km from Choeng Mon Beach. The development is set within a quiet residential area on Koh Samui’s north-east coast, close to Plai Laem and Chaweng.
Pricing and Configuration
The villas offer 3-bedroom layouts with around 360 sqm built area on plots of approximately 460–508 sqm. Prices start from 15,000,000 THB for leasehold, with freehold options available from 17,600,000 THB.
Each villa is arranged across multiple levels, with open-plan living areas, high ceilings, private swimming pools and dedicated outdoor space designed for indoor-outdoor living.

Samui Grand Park Forest - Type B Garden Villas
Why These Garden View Villas Command These Prices
The development is delivered by SSP Construction and Real Estate, a long-established local company with over 20 years of experience in Koh Samui. In addition to a track record of completed projects on the island, the company provides a full range of construction, property management and rental services, offering buyers a single point of contact for both delivery and ongoing ownership.
Although these villas are classified as garden view, they are positioned within an elevated setting that provides more open outlooks rather than being confined to flat inland plots. The wider development includes a mix of sea view and garden view villas, with the garden villas benefiting from a quieter position within the project.
Located in Maenam on the island’s north coast, the setting is less developed than the north-east, offering a more peaceful environment. This enhances privacy not only through the space of the individual villas, but also through the surrounding location, appealing to buyers looking for a more relaxed residential setting.
In terms of design, the villas follow a contemporary Asian architectural style, combining modern layouts and high specifications with traditional design elements. This is particularly evident in the rooflines, where Asian influences are incorporated into an otherwise modern aesthetic, a style that remains highly popular with buyers in Koh Samui.
They also offer a generous built area of 342 sqm, with spacious outdoor living areas and a sala. As a low-density development with land plots ranging from 513 to 690 sqm, the villas provide a strong sense of space and separation between properties.
As with most new developments, the villas are offered with flexible ownership options, including both leasehold and freehold structures.

Type B villas form part of a broader mixed development that includes both sea view and garden view properties, with the garden villas positioned to benefit from a more peaceful setting within the estate.
Pricing and Configuration
The Type B villas are single-level 3-bedroom properties with approximately 342 sqm of built area, set on land plots ranging from around 513 to 690 sqm. Pricing is from 16,900,000 THB.
The layout is designed around practical indoor-outdoor living, with open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen areas connected directly to a private swimming pool and large outdoor terrace. Floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors allow natural light into the living space while creating a direct transition to the exterior.
The single-storey configuration provides a straightforward and accessible layout, with all bedrooms, living areas and outdoor spaces arranged on one level. The development also includes shared facilities such as a fitness club, adding an additional amenity for residents and guests.
