The island's second beach town on the south-east coast, a less built-up counterpart to Chaweng with a wide swimming bay and the Hin Ta Hin Yai rocks at its southern end. Stock is a mix of hillside villas and smaller condo buildings behind the ring road, and the guest is a longer-staying European visitor rather than a short-break one.

Daily rental for stays under 30 nights falls under Thailand’s Hotel Act and generally needs a hotel licence or a qualifying exemption. Brixfox never claims a listing is licensed for short-term letting; every listing carries the warning and the building’s or estate’s position must be verified before underwriting nightly income.
Foreign buyers own condominiums freehold within a building’s 49% foreign quota; villas are held on a registered 30-year leasehold or through a Thai company. The ownership route changes what a yield is worth, and it is shown per listing.
Many listings are geocoded to an area or neighbourhood centroid rather than the exact plot (recorded per listing as location precision), so distances and map positions here are approximate.
Matched on the listing's stated area; a home described as two areas can appear under both. Prices in USD as listed.
