Koh Samui rent has not been as effected as by the influx of Russians (yet)

This to me this sounds like an excellent way to kill tourism not boost it. To the average local it sounds like a good idea. Since there’s hardly any transparency or accountability it’s reasonable to assume much of the income generated from these schemes are likely to end up in the pockets of officials and will not benefit the local population nor the country.
