Buying off-plan property in Phuket can offer advantages, from modern residential designs and a wider choice of units to staged payments during construction. But purchasing a condominium or villa before completion also means committing money to a property that may not yet exist in its final form. For international buyers, the most important question is not whether a developer offers an attractive launch...

The Phuket rainy season can significantly affect rental income, property maintenance and investment returns. A holiday property dependent on international visitors may command premium rents during the dry season but face weaker demand during the monsoon. An apartment leased to a resident for twelve months follows a different economic model. For property investors in Phuket, the important question is...
When comparing a new vs resale condo in Phuket, the purchase price, rental potential and future resale prospects matter more than the age of the building. In 2026, substantial unsold inventory and increasing competition between developments make these factors especially important. Off-plan condominiums attract buyers with modern designs, resort-style facilities and staged payment plans. Resale condos...
Пхукет вступает в очередной крупный инфраструктурный цикл. Новые дороги, расширение аэропорта, общественный транспорт, водная инфраструктура и морские проекты регулярно представляются как свидетельство того, что остров готовится к новому десятилетию роста туризма и рынка недвижимости. Но не все объявленные проекты находятся в стадии строительства. Некоторые мегапроекты Пхукета, запланированные на 2026 год, действительно продвигаются вперед. Другие же...
Short-term rentals in Phuket remain one of the most misunderstood parts of the island's property market. Rental projections are frequently used to sell condominiums and villas to foreign investors, particularly in tourist areas such as Patong, Kata, Karon, Kamala, Bang Tao, Rawai and Nai Harn. Yet the ability to advertise a property online does not automatically mean that it can legally be rented by...
Understanding Thailand property taxes for foreign buyers is essential before purchasing, holding, renting or eventually selling property in Thailand. The tax system is not based on one single “property tax”. Instead, different taxes and government fees can arise at different stages of ownership: transfer fee when ownership is registered withholding tax when property is sold Specific...
Phuket Town offers a property market that is fundamentally different from the island’s beach destinations. There is no beachfront investment narrative to rely on here. Instead, Phuket Town real estate is driven by urban living, local employment, hospitals, government services, schools, retail, restaurants, established neighbourhoods and year-round residential demand. The historic Old Town adds...
Surin is one of Phuket’s smallest but most recognisable west-coast property markets. Positioned between Bang Tao and Kamala, it combines a compact beach environment with hillside villas, premium condominiums, sea-view residences and some of Phuket’s most established high-end hospitality. That makes Surin Phuket real estate fundamentally different from larger markets such as Bang Tao, Rawai or...
Rawai and Nai Harn are two of southern Phuket’s most established residential markets for international residents, families, retirees and property buyers. Although the two areas sit next to each other, they offer different lifestyles, property profiles and investment considerations. Rawai is more active year-round, with restaurants, supermarkets, cafés, gyms, international services and a busy...
Chalong is one of southern Phuket’s most established year-round residential areas, offering a very different property proposition from the island’s major beach destinations. It has no major swimming beach of its own, but it combines something many long-term residents value more: access. From Chalong, residents can reach Rawai and Nai Harn to the south, Kata and Karon across the hills, Phuket...
