A new compound of one-bedroom houses on a green lot in the inland of Taling Ngam, on Samui's quiet west coast. The 231 unit is built and furnished to a basic specification: a bedroom, a bathroom with shower, a small kitchen corner with a fridge and basic utensils, air-conditioning, and a porch. The furniture set is minimal, so the unit is better suited to short stays than to a fully self-sufficient long-term let.
Taling Ngam is one of the most peaceful areas on Samui — a stretch of coast dominated by palm groves, sunset views over the Ang Thong islands, and a handful of resorts and seafood restaurants. The compound sits inland, so the beach and the ring-road minimarkets are a short scooter ride away; the Raja Ferry pier to the mainland is also close by, which makes day trips to Khanom or the mainland easy. Samui airport is about 35 minutes by car. The unit is suited to a couple, a solo traveller, or a remote worker looking for a quiet west-coast base at a reasonable rate.
