Land For Sale on Koh Chang & Koh Mak

If you haven't already done so . . . please read the main page in this section for some general info on buying real estate in Thailand.

The plots listed here can't be considered prime pieces of land.  Use this page more as a guide as to what is available and the prices.  If you're looking for real value and an ideal location for an island hideaway then there's nowhere on Koh Chang that can compete with Koh Mak for a combination of privacy, excellent beaches and comparatively low land prices.

Details of Houses, Villas and Condominiums and the better plots of land for Sale on Koh Chang are on this page

The plots on this page are various bits and pieces that I have been asked to put on the site.  Some have title deeds, some are farmland.  Use the prices as a rough guide. However, in most cases the owners are a hassle to deal with and so I don't bother with these plots anymore.

Land for sale on Koh Chang with Chanote / Nor Sor 3 (NS3) title deeds i.e. title deeds issued by the Land Department.

1) Large detached house (3-4 bedrooms) on 1.5 Rai 'Chanote' titled land, very near mainland ferry piers and with excellent views of Koh Chang.  Price: 4.5 million baht. More info & photos

++++

2) 1 Rai of Chanote titled land, on the sea in a quiet, but easily accessible area of the east coast of Koh Chang.  The land is around 10 minutes drive south of the ferry piers.  The big plus is the good price for a plot by the sea and the panoramic views of the sea from the front of the land and the inland mountains at the rear. Price: 3.5 million baht.  More info & photos

5) 1.25 Rai of Chanote titled beachfront land, with an old, but repairable, concrete, two floor house.  Convenient location on a red sand beach on the east of Koh Chang and within easy reach of the ferry piers and only 15 minutes drive to White Sand  Beach.  The land has around 40 metres of beach frontage.  Water is from a nearby bore hole. At present, access is through a neighbours property.  However, the owner will sell the land at the rear of the house which stretched back to join the main road, 50 metres away.   It's a quiet location, a couple of small resorts and restaurants nearby.  At low tide you can easily walk a kilometre along the beach.  You won't find anything like this for sale on the west coast. The owner wants to take the existing house down to use the wood for building  anew property for her family.  However, as the house would require some extensive rebuilding anyway, this isn't a huge loss.  Price: 6.5 million baht.  Photos

++++

6) 2 Rai of Chanote titled beachfront land, plus 4 bungalows.  The land stretches from the main road to the beach.  Beach frontage is around 20 metres.  This land borders the plot above and is owned by members of the same extended local family.  The four wood & concrete ensuite bungalows are actually part of a neighbouring resort.  The bungalows are at the rear of the property and the land near the beach is currently a garden area.  A large bore hole is on the land which ensures a private supply of water year round. Price: 8 million baht.  Photos.

++++

7) Two plots.  2 Rai of 'Nor Sor 3' beachfront land adjacent to each other.  (Owner will sell as one 4 Rai plot as well.)  Located a few kilometres south of the ferry piers.  The land lies between the main road and the shoreline and has been filled and is ready to build on.  There is a stony, coarse sand beach in front of the land.  Price: 6 million baht per plot.  Photos

++++

9) 0.5 Rai, Chanote titled land, leading onto Salakphet Bay.  This small plot of land is a good bet for anyone wanting to run kayak tours of Salakphet Bay or wants to moor a small boat outside their house.  The land isnt directly on the bay but is at the end of a canal that was built to allow  local fishermen to moor their boats.  So, no real views from the plot which lies just off the main road, but paddle 200 metres and you'll have stunning views of the bay and islands to the south of Koh Chang.  Really beautiful.  There are plans for a public area nearby, this would bring tourists to the area.  So it's possibly not a location if you're looking for long term peace and quiet, but a good one for water related business.  Price: 1.5 million baht.  Photos

++++

10) 2.75 Rai, Chanote titled land bordering a mangrove forest.  The land lies off the road to Salakok village at the southern end of Salakkok bay.  The land has been cleared and filled, ready for building.  A huge area for a house but good for someone who wants privacy and also likes paddling a kayak around the mangroves as there's access from the rear of the land to the canals that weave through the mangroves and into the main bay. Price: 5 million baht. Photos

++++

11) 5 Rai of Chanote titled fruit fields.  You'll need never buy longan or durian again. The rectangular plot lies roadside adjacent to a small stream that forms one of the boundaries.   It's located in a quiet area, 10 minutes drive south of the ferry piers on the east coast, a few locals live nearby and also farm fruit and the owner's house is only 500 metres away.  It's very peaceful and the mature trees provide plenty of shade.  It could easily be subdivided and sold on or have  a couple of nice houses built on it so a large family could enjoy peace and quiet on an 8,000sqm plot of land.   Price: 7.5 million baht. Photos

12) 1 Rai of Chanote titled beachfront land.  This plot also lies a few kilometres south of the ferry piers, not far from the Salakkok area. The big plus is the price for a plot by the sea. The downside is that the red sand beach here is also quite stony.  The land has an old restaurant on it and was used for fish processing at one time, a large fish pool has been dug in the centre of the land and this would need filling in.  At the front of the land, a new seawall needs building as some land has been eroded badly.  The neighbouring property shows what can be easily be done to improve the property as the owners have built a very nice restaurant and few bungalows nearby plus a stone seawall.  Price: 3.5 million baht. Photos

++++

13) 4.5 Rai of 'Chanote' land on the east coast, just south of Dan Mai.  This plot includes a private 100 metre long access road from the main road down to the shore.  The current owner bought the land a couple of years ago with the idea of building a bungalow resort.   Asking price is 3.5 million baht/rai (Approximately half what one rai of Chanote titled land by the roadside in Klong Prao would cost.)   Photos.

14)  6 Rai of Chanote* titled hilltop land.  Overlooks the east coast and is surrounded on three sides by National Park.  This land is owned by a local who's family have been farming rubber on it for decades. The land has just been cleared as the trees are too old to produce rubber now. (This also makes it easy to see the land boundaries.) There are no steep slopes on the land that would pose a problem to building work. The best views are to the east and south east A bore hole is on the land, this water was used to irrigate the rubber plantation year round. If you're looking for land for a huge hideaway that no-one would ever find then this is it.  It's totally silent, and the bordering jungle means that no one could ever overlook your property and it isn't visible from the main road at all.  The front and the rear of the land both have views out to sea, other than that the views are just of the jungle clad mountains inland. 

However, access isn't easy as there isn't currently a road leading to the land.  A neighbour is willing to sell a strip of their land to allow private access to the property. We've met the neighbour who's a good friend of the owner of the plot for sale, she's fine with this arrangement.  So (I estimate) a maximum of 1 million baht needs to be set aside for this.  Electricity would also need to be connected.  The distance from the main road would mean that this would be another large expense, 100 - 250,000 baht depending on where the connection could be made. 

*The land doesn't yet have a Chanote title but this has been applied for and the process takes around 6 months before approval.  Any sale would be linked to the land receiving a Chanote. Price: 6 million baht.  Photos

Farm land for sale on Koh Chang i.e. land with no registered land papers - more for people used to the Thai way of doing things, as your lawyer will probably warn you off. However, this land is significantly cheaper than Chanote or NS3 titled land and a lot of businesses are built on it on Koh Chang.

Think of this as a gamble that if things go well will pay off but if things go badly will result in you losing all your money you invested.  There's some nice land here, but I will always recommend buying titled land rather than farmland if you can.
