As everywhere else in the world land goes up in value over time and as everywhere else in the world, there are special reasons why the land in this particular area will skyrocket over time. 

So lets list the reasons why Koh Mak is so different from other places:

• Prices are raising. More and more people are buying land and building houses
• If you have a company, you own the house and rent it when you are not there. Even better if you manage to rent it in low season. Have the house inhabited is a plus during the extreme wet and humid rain season
• You could offer the house per Home Exchange. Ideal for collecting points in this system if you travel a lot yourself
• The perfect stay for pensioner or early retiree. Spend the time October to April on Koh Mak to escape the cold European winter
• We can provide care, repairs and maintenance
• We can manage your rentals (including publishing on channels like Airbnb or Booking.com). We welcome your guests, we do the check-in, we care for your guest during the stay, we check-out and do the cleaning and washing after.

But this is valid for all locations. So what is special about Koh Mak?

• Prices on Koh Mak are still relatively cheap when compared to other island style locations like Koh Samui, Phuket or Koh Chang
• The island is not evolving to a party-like location. Expect it to remain a calm place
• Local families push for the island to stay the way it is today. Big hotel chains are not welcome
• More private homes help attract visitors also during the rain season. This helps local businesses
• Privat homes attract more private type of people. More calm, longer stays, less boat traffic, buy groceries at local businesses

So Koh Mak is in the exceptional situation of being a location where you can expect not to experience an explosion in mass tourism. This protects your investment and your nerves. 

Prices are raising not because of an increase in tourism (we are back to what it was before Covid) but because of an increase in demand for land to build private houses.
