Phuket Property Guide

Phuket is situated approximately 850 kilometres south of the capital city of Bangkok. Phuket is the largest island in Thailand and is often referred to as the "Pearl of the Andaman" or the "Pearl of the south".

Phuket is an island of remarkable beauty and wondrous contrast, with endless opportunities for exploration and discovery. The terrain in Phuket is varied with rocky headlands, sandy beaches, scenic cliffs, green hills, crystal clear lagoons and tropical rainforest. The deceptive size and varied heights has allowed individual microclimates to develop.

The property market in Phuket is currently undergoing a rapid transformation with a rich product mix of villas, townhouses and apartments available for all budgets. Resort areas such as Phuket, Koh Samui and Krabi have become increasingly popular with property buyers, all of which offer magnificent sea views and direct beach access. Due to the overwhelming popularity of Phuket and the surrounding areas the property market has been dominated by investment clients that are benefiting from the rental return market. Capital appreciation is currently approximately 10-15% per annum in areas of high tourism such as Phuket, Koh Samui and Krabi.

Where is the best place to buy property in Thailand? The best places to purchase are in the same areas that are popular with international tourism. Areas such as Phuket will always show a profitable level of capital appreciation and have the potential for rental returns if the property is not occupied.
