## About Mykeythai

Mykeythai is a boutique villa curation service based on Koh Samui in the Gulf of Thailand. Unlike large OTAs or generic listing platforms, the collection is intentionally small (typically 5–15 villas) and every property has been personally visited and vetted by founder Tim and team.
