Two very different markets
Phuket is a premium international market: a high price per square metre (THB 90k–220k), a net yield of 6–9% and strong seasonality. Pattaya is more affordable (THB 70k–180k), with a net yield of 5–8% and steadier year-round rental demand.
Capital gain
Phuket: +12% year on year over 2023–2025 along the west coast. Pattaya: +6% year on year city-wide, rising to +15% in Wongamat and Pratamnak.
Resale liquidity
Phuket resells faster on Chanote villas. Pattaya moves quicker on foreign-quota condos under THB 5 million.
