Profit
Is an Airbnb in Ko Samui District Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Ko Samui District Airbnb took in ฿1,144,540 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ฿70,000 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about ฿147,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the ฿50,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about ฿74,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about ฿61,000 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How Ko Samui District's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Ko Samui District listings are booked on 74% or more of their nights, against 51% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ฿4,970 adds about ฿49,700 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ฿9,770 a night or more, against a median of ฿4,970. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about ฿109,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about ฿262,000, against ฿84,900 in October, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Ko Samui District listings average 4.74 stars, and 24% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about ฿199,000 a month, against ฿95,000 for the average one.
