Phuket

Phuket is Thailand's largest island and the most prestigious property market in the south, famed for its sea-view villas and luxury condos. The west coast — Patong, Karon, Kata, Bang Tao, Surin and Kamala — holds the most sought-after beaches and high-end developments. International buyers and investors look for infinity-pool villas on the hillsides, branded residences and high-yield holiday-rental apartments. Foreigners buy condos in freehold (foreign quota) and villas typically on long leasehold. With its international airport, international schools, marinas and year-round premium tourism, Phuket offers resale liquidity, prestige and some of the highest seasonal rental potential in the country.
