With a new digital nomad visa in the works, Thailand is trying to jump on the Work from Home, work from anywhere bandwagon. With Covid, working from home has become more and more normal and remote jobs seem to be here to stay. What better place to do it than Koh Samui?

Koh Samui is a small island situated in the Gulf of Thailand which is off the East coast of the mainland. With about 30,000 residents it is quite a small community, there are however, many more tourists. Koh Samui has everything you could want, beautiful beaches, blue skies, turquoise seas, great restaurants, and markets. If you are into mindfulness, Samui and Thailand in general is a good place to come to, there are lots of meditation centres and things you can do to get in touch with your spiritual side. If you are a fan of the nightlife, there is a lot of that in Koh Samui too!

Renting, buying, or building a luxury sea view villa in Bophut is an option for the digital nomad. The view out to sea from Bophut is incredible. The view you take in of the brilliant blue sea and across to Koh Phangan is second to none. The island of Koh Phangan, known for the full moon party, sits to the north of Bophut. It rises out of the sea with a few mountainous peaks before crashing back into the water on the other side of the horizon. It truly is a magical view to wake up to each morning.

What better place to set up a work from home office? The hills of Bophut are ideally located to have both a breath-taking view over some lush jungle and down over the North coast of Samui. The hills themselves are not too high up, but just enough that you can feel the climate change a little, which is always good in the tropical weather of Koh Samui. They are also very close to get down and into the hustle and bustle of the surrounding areas. Places like Chaweng are a short journey away as well as amenities like supermarkets and shopping areas.

Bophut itself boasts a great walking street area, full of restaurants, shops, and bars. This is also where the Friday night market happens, which takes over the whole street and surrounding area and has a brilliant atmosphere.
