Our Story
Born from a love of Koh Samui
One family, one island, and an obsession with getting every detail right.
THE FOUNDER
Tim
Mykeythai started with a simple frustration: booking a luxury villa in Koh Samui shouldn't feel like a gamble.
Tim's family had been visiting the island for years — drawn back every time by its quiet beauty and warmth. Together they explored ways to settle in, and along the way learned which villas truly delivered and which ones didn't.
So they built Mykeythai: a deliberately small collection of homes they'd personally stayed in, inspected, and trusted enough to recommend to friends and family.
The name says it all. My Key to Thailand.
"We don't list every villa on the island — just the ones we'd stay in ourselves."
— Tim, Founder
What We Stand For
Our values
Six principles that guide every villa we add, every guest we welcome, and every recommendation we make.
Personally Visited
Every villa has been walked through, photographed and approved by our team before it joins the collection.
Direct Relationships
We work directly with villa owners — no middlemen, no hidden fees, no surprises.
Local Presence
Based full-time in Koh Samui, we're here before you arrive and throughout your stay.
Trusted Curation
A deliberately limited collection ensures every property meets our exacting standards.
Genuine Hospitality
We treat every guest like family — thoughtful recommendations, honest advice, no hard sell.
Unmatched Knowledge
Years on the island means insider access to the best restaurants, beaches and hidden gems.
Our Promise
Quality over quantity — always
While large platforms chase volume, we stay small by design. Every villa in our collection has been personally visited, every owner relationship is direct, and every guest gets our full attention.
