Koh Kham, a small, pristine island off the coast of Trat Province, Thailand, has
been listed for sale at a staggering 1.8 billion baht ($53.2 million).

The island, known for its white sand beaches and clear waters, is only about 10 
rai (approximately 1.6 acres) in size and is currently owned by the proprietor of
the “Mum Aroi” restaurant. The island has changed hands several times, likely due
to restrictions on construction in the area.

The listing highlights Koh Kham’s natural beauty, featuring a sandbar and volcanic
rock formations, and its proximity to Koh Mak, accessible by speedboat. While the
island is privately owned, tourists are allowed to visit for a landing fee. However,
there are no official accommodations on the island, only small structures and forested
areas.

The sale listing also mentions a partially constructed resort project that was halted
due to suspected violations, including sea encroachment and land encroachment. An
inspection by local authorities in August 2024 revealed unauthorized construction
beyond the legal boundary, including a seawall, pier, and accommodation facilities.

While the case was initially investigated, the Trat prosecutor declined to file 
charges and the relevant agencies did not appeal the decision. Despite the previous
construction issues, the sale of Koh Kham presents an opportunity for interested
buyers to acquire a piece of pristine paradise in Thailand, potentially for further
development.
