We are an experienced homeswap and home sitting Dutch family of 3 living on the tropical island of Koh Samui in Thailand. Our beachfront house is located in the north of Samui, right in the centre of the village of Maenam and directly at the beach. Restaurants, shops (bakery, 7-11 etc.) and local markets are all on walking distance. Big supermarkets such as Tesco Lotus, Big C or Makro are about 7 kilometers away and can easily be reached by local bus, motorbike or car. Koh Samui has an airport (regular flights to Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong), ferries are available to the mainland and the neighboring islands of Koh Phangan and Koh Tao.
Our house has a front terrace facing the little village square next to a Chinese Sala and close to a nice and quiet beach restaurant. On the back terrace we have straight access to the beach. Inside our house: downstairs is a large living room (with aircon), kitchen and small bathroom with toilet and shower. Upstairs is a very spacious bedroom with aircon, a kingsize and a single bed, with balcony. There’s another spare room which we currently use as storage. There is a big terrace between the two rooms on the first floor. Around the house (except on the beach side) is a nice garden, with lots of pots and plants. They need lots of water. We have a cat, sleeping outside during the night but making regular visits for food… WiFi Internet connection available (Fiber optic 50mpbs).
During the winter of 2016-2017 we homeswapped with families living in Amsterdam, southern France, Austria and again Amsterdam respectively. We also do house/pet sits (we have done house/pet sits in The Netherlands and Cambodia). Occasionally, we rent out our house as well (minimum period 1 month). As of January 2018 we will swap again for a several consecutive months. Most swaps have been arranged already. We might need one more swap in May/June 2018, but we will only consider The Netherlands or southern Europe for this period.
