Phuket rental ads mix nightly, monthly, and yearly prices. This breakdown is the yearly conversation, by area.
Live asks are on the Phuket marketplace.
How to read a price
If the ad does not say “per year” or “12-month lease,” assume it is a shorter product. Ask. The gap is often large.
Compare condos with condos and villas with villas. A cheap villa that needs a new roof is not cheap.
- Rawai and older Patong or Karon condos: lower band.
- Kamala and Kata: middle.
- Bang Tao: upper-middle for villas.
- Surin and Laguna: top of the island for walkability or estate services.
- Bills sit on top of all of these.
Pros and cons
What works
- The bands are wide enough to plan.
- Year leases exist in every area.
- You can verify an ask against live cards.
- Seasonality is predictable.
What to weigh
- Brochures quote high-season monthly rates.
- Service charges hide in villa ads.
- A “from” price is a studio in low season.
- Currency swings matter if you are paid in dollars or euros.
What it tends to cost
| Cost | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Patong or Karon 1-bed | THB 15,000–40,000 |
| Rawai 1-bed | THB 18,000–40,000 |
| Bang Tao 1-bed | THB 25,000–55,000 |
| Surin or Laguna villa | THB 90,000–300,000 |
Monthly long-stay asks. Confirm for the unit.
Use the area guides
Best areas links every neighborhood page. The long-term rental guide covers deposits.
Day-to-day life
A lower rent in the wrong bay becomes a transport bill and a mood. Price the week, not only the transfer.
Market notes
Supply of new villas in Cherng Talay gives tenants leverage there in the green season. Scarce Surin houses do not.
How Voivera fits
Sort the Phuket marketplace by the bed count you need and ignore cards that will not quote a year.
Next step
Take three live asks in your area, throw out the holiday rates, and budget the middle one plus power.
