The article features a conversation with Anna Mirosina, a 40-year-old real estate agent in Koh Samui, Thailand. Twelve years ago, Anna moved to the island from Russia, initially seeking a break from a stressful life and depression. After helping a friend at a bar, she transitioned to real estate, ultimately launching her own agency two years ago. Living in Samui, she enjoys a better work-life balance, with a relaxed lifestyle, warm climate, and low crime rates. Anna appreciates the respect for women in Thai culture, contrasting it with her experiences in Russia. Her daily routine includes exercising and enjoying the beach, while the cost of living in Samui varies; basic apartments start at $300, while luxury beachfront villas can reach $20,000 a month. Despite the filming of the recent season of “White Lotus” nearby, Anna notes it has not significantly impacted the local real estate market, as interest in Samui has existed long before the show. Feeling at home in Thailand, Anna plans to apply for citizenship in the next two years.
