Koh Samui
Thailand · UTC+7
The eight criteria
3 working hours shared with Western Europe.
0 with the US east coast.
Climatically workable months: January, February, November, December.
Koh Samui has no hand-written dossier: we measure neither its real speeds, nor its coworking spaces, nor its community on the ground. The figures above are computed — the label under each says where it comes from. What is certain: the entry right, the shared working hours and the season.
Where Koh Samui stands
70/100 — rank 565 of the 834 cities scored, and 119 of the 251 in Asia. A score on its own says nothing; its position explains it.
What carries it: Facilité visa (96/100, rank 22), Sécurité (84/100, rank 141). What holds it back: Timezone (EU+US) (25/100, rank 706), Coût de vie (68/100, rank 618).
The six closest profiles
Closeness is computed across all eight scores, not the overall one: two cities at 80 may have nothing in common — one expensive and safe, the other cheap and loud. It is the shape of the profile that matches.
