How much does it cost to rent a place in Phuket?

There are plenty of accommodation options in Phuket. The first step is to choose the right area. Take time to explore Phuket’s districts and decide where you’d feel most comfortable staying — whether for vacation or long-term living.

What affects the price?

• Location: Properties closer to the beach, with sea views, or in areas with well-developed infrastructure are generally more expensive.
• Season: Rental prices are higher during the high season (November to April) than in the low season.
• Rental duration: For long-term rentals (6 months or more), landlords often offer discounts.
• Size and amenities: A pool will significantly increase the rental cost.

We recommend choosing your preferred area and budget first, then starting your search. The question of how much it costs to rent in Phuket is especially relevant for expats planning to stay long-term.

The most common option is apartments in condominiums. Expats often prefer this because these complexes usually include everything you need: pools, gyms, parking, and more.

The most budget-friendly one-bedroom apartments in non-touristy areas start from around 12,000 THB per month. Apartments in well-located condominiums with good amenities range from 20,000 to 50,000 THB per month. More spacious and modern units with sea views or access to a pool start from 60,000 THB and up.

Looking for VIP-level living? Go for a villa. Basic villas start at around 60,000 THB per month. A villa with a pool will cost from 120,000 THB, and luxury sea-view villas with full amenities start at 200,000 THB per month.
