Plai Laem Property for Sale

Plai Laem sits on the north-east tip of Koh Samui, between Bangrak and Choeng Mon. It is a peninsula of quiet bays, hillsides and calm water, known for the colourful Wat Plai Laem temple on its lake. It’s one of the island’s most sought-after spots for villas. It feels secluded, yet the airport, Fisherman’s Village and Chaweng are each only a short drive away.
