What advice to expats in Koh Chang have about housing?

Answer this Question

When we asked people living in Koh Chang about the social scene there, they described it saying...

"Expats in Koh Chang advise that housing options vary greatly, from luxury villas to simple bungalows, so it's important to research and visit different areas to find what suits your lifestyle and budget. They suggest that renting is a good option to start with, as it allows you to get a feel for the island and its different neighborhoods before committing to a purchase. They also recommend hiring a reputable real estate agent to help navigate the local market and ensure all legalities are handled correctly. It's important to understand that foreigners cannot own land outright in Thailand, but there are ways around this, such as setting up a Thai limited company or leasing the land. Expats also advise checking the proximity of potential homes to amenities like shops, restaurants, and healthcare facilities, as well as considering the noise levels from nearby bars or traffic. Lastly, they suggest ensuring that any property you choose has a reliable water supply and internet connection, as these can sometimes be issues on the island," wrote a member who made the move to Koh Chang, Thailand.
