Give your residents a benefit the building does not pay for.

Island Privileges is a resident discount programme for Koh Samui buildings. Your residents get 10% off at partner venues across the island. The building is not invoiced, the residents are not charged, and there is nothing for your office to administer once it is running.

The trade

What we do, and the one thing we need back.

This only works if it is honest about the ask. There is exactly one thing the building has to provide, and it is listed on the right.

We handle

01Signing the venues. We negotiate the discount, the terms, and the exclusions with each business directly.
02Briefing their staff. Counter teams are trained on how to apply the discount and what to do if someone cannot prove residency.
03Your building page. A page like the Replay one, with your logo and your venue list, that you can link from your resident group or noticeboard.
04Printed material. A lobby card and a one page resident notice, supplied ready to put up.
05Adding partners over time. Every venue signed later is added to your building at no extra cost and no renegotiation.

You provide

01A way to confirm residency. Usually a key card design we can describe to venue staff, or a unit list held by your office. Whichever you are comfortable with.

That is the whole ask. No fee, no exclusivity, no minimum term, and no personal resident data leaves your office unless you choose a method that requires it. We will walk through the options with you before anything is agreed.

How it starts

Four steps, about two weeks.

Step 01

A short call

Twenty minutes to confirm the building, the unit count, and which venues would actually be useful to your residents.

Step 02

You pick the line up

You see the full partner list and choose which venues appear on your building page. Anything you would rather not include is left out.

Step 03

A one page agreement

Plain language, no fees, 30 days notice to end it from either side. Enough to take to a committee without a lawyer.

Step 04

Live for residents

We brief the venues, publish your page, and deliver the lobby card. Residents start using it the same week.

Questions committees ask

The awkward ones, answered first.

One of your partners is a cannabis dispensary. Can we exclude it?

Yes, and plenty of buildings do. You choose your own line up, and a building can run the programme on food, drink, wellness and transport partners only. Where it is included, Chillom Koh Samui operates lawfully under Thai law, sells strictly to adults aged 20 and over, and checks photo ID at the door. Nothing is sold or delivered inside your building, and there is no signage of that kind in your lobby unless you ask for it.

What resident data do we have to hand over?

In the simplest version, none. Venue staff verify a key card or a building pass at the counter, so the information never leaves your building. If you prefer a unit list or a code based method, we will set out what that involves before you decide, so the juristic person can make the call with the full picture rather than after the fact.

What does it actually cost the building or the owners?

Nothing. There is no setup fee, no annual fee, no revenue share taken from the building, and no charge to residents. The programme is funded on the venue side, because the venues gain regular local customers rather than one time tourists. If anyone ever asks you for money on behalf of Island Privileges, it is not us.

What if a venue stops honouring the discount?

Tell us and we will resolve it with them or remove them from your page. Any partner can pause or change their offer with 30 days written notice, which we pass on to your office so residents are never surprised at a till.

Are we locked in?

No. There is no minimum term and no exclusivity. Either side can end the arrangement with 30 days notice, and there is no penalty and nothing to pay back.

Only two partners are live. Why should we sign now?

Fair question. Two venues are live today and more are being signed, and we would rather show you that plainly than pad the list with names we have not agreed terms with. Early buildings help us sign the next round, because a venue says yes much faster when we can tell them how many residents are already asking for them. If two venues is not enough for your committee, tell us which categories would move the decision and we will come back when we have them.
