Should my family buy a villa in Bang Tao or Layan?
It depends on whether the beach or the house comes first. Bang Tao suits a family that wants the long beach and the busier end of the coast, and is ready to pay more. Layan suits a family that wants a calmer beach, hillside estates and more villa for the budget: among the homes we list, family villas in Layan cost less and are larger inside. Both are a short drive from UWC Thailand and HeadStart. If you would rather have a residence than a villa, or your budget is well below these prices, start with our prices-by-area page.
