Why You Should Buy a Property in Phuket

During the last decade, we have seen a large increase in the number of buyers for luxury properties in Phuket, driven predominantly by international retirees, expats, and business-minded individuals. This should come as no surprise due to the number of reasons why purchasing a property in Phuket is such a wise decision.

BEAUTY

Despite its diminutive size (543 square kilometres), Phuket is definitely one of the best resort islands on the planet. Aside from pristine waters and perfect weather, the island also boasts diving spots, hotels, restaurants, nightlife areas and much more.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Phuket’s infrastructure is well-designed. It was quite undeveloped until a few decades ago, but has rapidly flourished. In fact, two hospitals have been built, offering world-class healthcare services:: Sririroj International Hospital and Bangkok Hospital Phuket. This makes the island particularly appealing to retirees and medical tourists.

EDUCATION

Phuket also features excellent schools for families with young children. They accept students of all nationalities and offer reasonable tuition fees. English language elementary and secondary schooling is easily accessible. There are even foreign schools in Phuket that follow the American and British educational systems (like the British Curriculum International School, which was renamed from Dulwich International College). Also, BCIS Phuket International School in Chalong, which started a few years ago, offers two curricula: the Cambridge program and the French program. This institution is also home to Southern Thailand's first planetarium.

PEOPLE

Phuket people are renowned all over the globe for their friendliness and warm hospitality. They are very courteous and eager to please foreign nationals new to the island and want assistance.

As Thailand itself is known as the Land of Smiles, the people in Phuket are no exception. Expect them to smile and provide assistance whenever you need it. It's worth noting that the Thai term for fun (sanook) is a vital feature of Thai culture, so people in Phuket (and the rest of Thailand) attempt to' sanook' as much as they can.

CUISINE

The island has distinct cuisine that both locals and visitors enjoy. There is a wide variety of delectable seafood offered at restaurants as well as other diverse dining options.

As Phuket is recognised for producing some of the best cashew nuts in the world, many restaurants on the island offer gai med ma moung, a stir-fried chicken dish with cashew nuts, sweet soy sauce, honey, garlic, and dried chilis. It is perfect with steamed rice.

Due to its southern Thailand location, cooking in Phuket uses more coconut milk than in other areas of the country (and the world). Turmeric, cumin, cloves, and aniseed are common spices here, and their curries are richer and creamier. Because many residents have Chinese roots, the food has a major Chinese influences as well.

Tom yum goong (Thailand's national dish), pad thai, kuay tiew (noodle soup), som tam (spicy papaya salad), geng kheaw wan gai (green curry chicken), and tom kha gai (chicken in coconut soup) are just some of the must-try dishes.

COST OF LIVING

It should come as no surprise that living in Phuket is significantly more affordable than other areas (including other islands) throughout the world. In fact, Fortune magazine article "Paradise Found: Where to Retire Abroad" selected the island as one of the top five spots where individuals can retire, "where you can still live like a king on your savings."

REAL ESTATE MARKET

Last but definitely not least, Phuket is one of the fastest growing property markets in the world. Many international developers are building residential projects. Condos, specifically, have emerged and grown steadily in popularity among foreign buyers.

Amid the rapid developments taking place, the Thai government wisely took action to ensure sustainability across Phuket. It strictly imposes regulations that safeguard the environment including setting strict height restrictions for real estate projects.

Investors will be delighted to learn that average costs of properties in Phuket is lower than most other popular places: It is 16.72% lower compared to Bangkok, 25.28% lower than Liverpool, 32.98% lower compared to Adelaide, and an huge 53.90% lower than New York City.

How to Buy Your First Property in Phuket

Considering retiring with your family to Phuket or investing in a property with significant investment potential? Are you ready to start looking for your dream property? This is what you need to know:

 First of all, know that the Land Code of Thailand does not permit foreign nationals to outright own and improve real estate in Thailand. However, foreigners may buy a house, villa, and other real estate in Thailand’s largest island through one of these two options:

Option #1 – Using a long-term contract with leasehold

You can make use of a lease contract with a period of 30 years which can be renewed or extended up to two times. During that time, you will be regarded the rightful owner of the freehold during this time. A foreigner can own a property for up to 90 years under this option.

However, once the lease expires, a foreign owner can no longer claim ownership of the property as the material asset will be removed from the estate.

Option #2 – Through a company with limited liability

If you are a foreign national with more financial means, here is another option to acquire a home in Phuket. It allows you to buy a freehold property in Phuket or elsewhere in Thailand.

In order to do this, you need to set up a limited liability company in Thailand. It will then be deemed the owner of the freehold land registered in its name. One of the firm's owners or investors may hold up to 49 per cent, and two or more foreign shareholders are allowed. The foreign national can then become the company's managing director, gaining voting control and other shares, as well as authority over the acquired real estate property.
