Sale-side only β€” the rental sample is too thin per beach to compute area-level yields (Booking gives 113 unique island-wide; Airbnb concentrates in Chaloklum). The yields above are island-wide.

Off-plan project directory β€” FazWaz (off-plan/made-to-order status) + Lazudi new-developments, deduped by name. $/mΒ² from per-project unit mixes (FazWaz) or listed average (Lazudi); blank where the project lists a headline price only. Leasehold/foreign-quota tenure typical for Thai off-plan.

The read

The villa figure is the one to trust here β€” rent n=84, sale n=398, both robust. A typical Koh Phangan villa (~$330,016) at $154/night and 65% blended occupancy yields ~5.8% net at the median, up to ~10.2% at P75 β€” and the P75 is likely closer to realised, because Booking under-samples the premium villa segment (a well-photographed new pool villa earns above the scrape median).

The condo / apartment figure (net ~6.2%, rent n=44) now rests on a healthier sample β€” mostly Airbnb apartments. Its higher ADR-to-price ratio (cheaper entry, $95/night) gives a net comparable to villas, though Koh Phangan stays villa-dominated on the sale side.

Methodology. Sale: FazWaz Koh Phangan property-for-sale listings (real per-unit, AEDβ†’USD normalised). Rent: Booking + Airbnb, each scraped for summer (Jul) + December (NY-peak) and averaged per property (December β‰ˆ1.3Γ— summer on Booking, flat on Airbnb); Airbnb bbox-filtered to the island. Yield: ADRΓ—365Γ—occΓ·price for gross; net after operator split, Thai 15% withholding, capital-scaled opex. Development-level β€” sample supports villa vs condo, not full submarket Γ— bed crosstabs.
