What advice to expats in Koh Samui have about housing?

When we asked people living in Koh Samui about the social scene there, they described it saying...

"Expats in Koh Samui advise that you should thoroughly research the area before deciding on a place to live. They suggest visiting the island first to get a feel for the different neighborhoods and to see which one suits your lifestyle and preferences. They also recommend renting before buying, as this gives you a chance to experience living in Koh Samui without making a long-term commitment. Expats also advise checking the proximity of the house to amenities such as supermarkets, restaurants, and hospitals. They suggest considering the noise level in the area, especially if you prefer a quiet environment. When it comes to renting or buying a house, expats recommend hiring a reputable real estate agent who is familiar with the local market and can guide you through the process. They also suggest having a lawyer review any contracts before signing. Expats also warn about the potential for scams, advising newcomers to be cautious and to never pay money upfront without seeing the property and verifying the legitimacy of the landlord or seller. Finally, expats in Koh Samui advise considering the climate and weather patterns when choosing a house. They recommend houses that are built to withstand the tropical climate, with good ventilation and protection from heavy rains," wrote a member who made the move to Koh Samui, Thailand.
