How this is measured
Each building's fee comes from a FazWaz unit listing that states the monthly CAM charge. We keep readings between ฿200 and ฿60,000 a month: below that the source is quoting a per-sqm rate, above it the figure is a parse error — one building read ฿20,199,600 a month until we caught it. Medians are per area, refreshed weekly.
Koh Samui (Surat Thani) condo fees — frequently asked questions
How much are condo common-area fees in Koh Samui (Surat Thani)?▾
฿5,000 a month is the median across 70 Koh Samui (Surat Thani) buildings we measure, with half between ฿3,119 and ฿10,021. The figure is for one unit: a larger unit in the same building pays more, because Thai buildings bill CAM per square metre.
What does the CAM fee pay for?▾
Security, cleaning, lifts, water in the common areas, garden and pool upkeep, and the juristic office. A building with a pool, a gym and a concierge costs more to run than a walk-up, which is most of the spread between any two buildings.
What is the sinking fund?▾
A one-off contribution to the building's capital reserve, charged at transfer and quoted per square metre. It pays for lift replacements and repainting rather than day-to-day running, and a resale unit has usually paid it once already.
What happens if an owner stops paying?▾
Arrears accrue interest, and the juristic person can refuse the debt-free letter the Land Office requires to transfer the unit — which is why unpaid CAM surfaces at the worst possible moment, on the day of a sale.
