Why is it especially profitable to invest in real estate in Phuket now?

Question: Why does Phuket remain one of the top locations for real estate investment? Answer: Phuket consistently ranks among the top resorts in Southeast Asia. Tourist arrivals have again surpassed 10 million per year, and demand for house and villa rentals is steadily growing. Plus, limited land availability (the island isn’t expanding) leads to an average land price increase of 8–12% annually.

Question: Why is a villa a smarter investment than a condo? Answer: A villa is not just a house, but also a plot of land that always appreciates. Villas rent out at higher daily rates than condos, especially in high season. According to our data, a 3–4 bedroom villa in popular areas rents from THB 7,000 to 15,000 per day, while a similarly priced condo rents for much less.

Question: Which areas in Phuket are the most attractive for investment? Answer: Bang Tao, Layan, Kamala, and Rawai are top choices for rental demand and expat living. They have the best infrastructure: 5-star resorts, golf courses, restaurants, and international schools. ROI in these areas can reach 8–10% per annum.

Question: Isn’t it too expensive to maintain a villa in Phuket? Answer: Quite the opposite. With the right property management company (charging on average 15–20% of income), you have a passive model: all costs for cleaning, gardening, bookings, and maintenance are covered by rental payments. Utilities are paid by meters, and many modern villas have solar panels to reduce expenses.

Question: How do foreigners safely purchase villas in Phuket? Answer: There are several options: leasehold (30+30+30 years land lease with full ownership of the house) or buying through a company for freehold. All deals are accompanied by lawyers, due diligence is done on the land, a Thai bank account is opened, and a step-by-step contract is signed.

Question: Are there concrete numbers supporting investment potential? Answer:

• In the past 5 years, villas in key Phuket areas have increased by an average of 42%.
• Short-term villa rentals account for about 65% of all bookings on the island.
• Over 70% of real estate buyers in Phuket are foreigners, ensuring constant demand and price growth.
