The land
Scale that is rare to assemble.
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 Nan range as a backdrop. It has been assembled over years into 33 freehold Chanote titles and is maintained by a resident caretaker.
Across Sichon and Khanom some fifty kilometres of coast carry not a single high-rise. The stretch remains largely uncommitted, which is precisely its value.
Boundary per Land Department title plot and 2011 boundary survey. Indicative only.

One square kilometre in each, same scale and same dot size, counting registered residents only — which understates Samui and Phuket more than it understates Sichon.

Development potential
One site, many futures.
A flagship resort. A 2015 desktop feasibility study by an international hotel advisor 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 ~15 villas are priced from THB 65 million and from THB 85 million.
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. The concept studies and the feasibility work are available in the data room.
An emerging destination
Island demand, mainland entry.
Branded names arriving
Banyan Tree Residences Sichon is in Sichon itself; Aava Resort & Spa and Racha Kiri are established in Greater Khanom up the coast.
Airport delivered
Nakhon Si Thammarat International's new terminal is open, with capacity for four million passengers a year and direct regional flights.
Samui is finite
The island's airport and its land sit inside a fixed boundary. Capacity is being added, but the coast opposite is where the room is.
A bridge on the table
A proposed Samui–mainland bridge would land at Khanom, the adjoining district. The Expressway Authority's February 2026 study puts it at THB 74.044bn. Construction is reported for 2028–29 and opening for 2033–34. It has not reached Cabinet.

Questions
Questions about Sichon
What exactly is for lease?
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.
Is either site for sale?
No. Both are offered on registered leases only. The owners intend to keep the land.
Are the beaches private?
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.
Can I see the title deeds and surveys?
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 hotel feasibility study.
Can I lease part of the Sichon site?
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.
Is there anything built on the land?
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.
What can be built?
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.
Is an environmental impact assessment required?
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.
Are utilities available?
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.
How long does a build take?
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.
Can I run a business as a foreigner?
Yes, through a Thai company with the right licences. Your company can sponsor your work permit. See our guide to starting a beach business.
