Gulf of Thailand · Nakhon Si Thammarat
A rare contiguous beachfront landholding of 241 rai with just over a kilometre of direct beach, facing the Koh Samui archipelago. Site reference LTC 091.
The land
LTC 091 is a single contiguous parcel of 241 rai, about 38.6 hectares, on the mainland Gulf coast at Sichon. Its surveyed beach boundary runs 1,013.91 metres along soft sand, with a roughly 3:1 frontage-to-depth ratio that places most of the land close to the sea.
The site is gently elevated and level with the road, planted throughout with mature coconut palms, with open grassland behind the shore and the Khao Luang range as a backdrop. It has been assembled over years into 33 freehold Chanote titles and is maintained by a resident caretaker.
Lonely Planet has called this stretch "Thailand's best undiscovered beach". It remains largely uncommitted, which is precisely its value.
Boundary per Land Department title plot and 2011 boundary survey. Indicative only.
Key facts
Ask for the data room: title copies, survey, appraisal and the JLL feasibility, under NDA.
Development potential
A flagship resort. A 2015 desktop feasibility study by JLL modelled a 350-key beach resort on the site at well under 20% site coverage, with a low-rise hotel core, villas among the palms and a beach club along the shoreline.
Branded residences. Beachfront villas in the manner of the neighbouring Banyan Tree Residences Sichon, whose 16 villas are priced at THB 65–85 million each.
Phased and boutique. An eco or wellness resort of 30–60 keys on a first phase of 6–15 hectares, holding the balance as land bank. The site's scale allows a first phase to open while the rest remains untouched.
We hold no fixed scheme. Concept studies and the JLL feasibility are available in the data room.

An emerging destination
Banyan Tree Residences Sichon is in Sichon itself; Aava Resort & Spa and Racha Kiri are established in Greater Khanom up the coast.
Nakhon Si Thammarat International's new terminal is open, with capacity for four million passengers a year and direct regional flights.
Island flights are capped and the runway cannot extend. Demand spills to the mainland coast opposite, at a fraction of island land cost.
A proposed Samui–mainland bridge would land at Khanom, the adjoining district. It is at planning stage, with completion targeted for the early 2030s if approved.

Questions
Two beachfront landholdings in southern Thailand. Sichon: 241 rai (385,732 m², 95 acres) with 1,014 m of direct beach on the Gulf of Thailand, held on 33 Chanote titles, offered on a lease of up to 30 years. Natai: 7.73 rai (12,362 m²) with 144 m of west-facing Andaman beach, walled, 25 minutes from Phuket Airport, offered on a 10-year lease.
No. Both are offered on registered leases only. The owners intend to keep the land.
No beach in Thailand is private; the sand below the high-tide line is public everywhere. Both sites have direct frontage with nothing between the land and the sand. At Natai a public pier and local fishermen are next door, which we say in the first meeting.
Yes, under NDA. The data room holds title copies, the boundary survey and topographic survey for Sichon, the Land Department plan for Natai, the 2024 appraisal, the environmental assessment and the JLL feasibility study.
Yes. A first phase of a few hectares, or a private estate of two to ten rai on the beachfront, can be leased while the balance remains untouched. Access is shared via the deeded road from the highway.
No. Sichon is coconut grove and grassland with a resident caretaker and a concrete access road. Natai is a cleared, walled plot with a utility point at the road, offered as it stands.
Sichon sits in a provincial zone permitting tourism, residential and commercial use, low-rise. Natai is a residential and resort stretch. A 12 m setback from the high-tide line applies to permanent buildings nationwide; the building envelope for a specific design is confirmed with the district office.
For hotels of 80 rooms or more, 4,000 m² or more, or within 50 m of the shoreline at any size, yes. Smaller schemes may need an initial environmental examination. A restaurant, beach club or villa normally needs neither.
Provincial electricity and water reach the road at Sichon; Natai has a utility point at the road. Wells need provincial groundwater approval. Fibre internet is available in both districts.
Design and permits three to six months; a villa ten to sixteen months; a small resort eighteen to thirty months. Plan around the rainy season on each coast.
Yes, through a Thai company with the right licences. Your company can sponsor your work permit. See our guide to starting a beach business.
