Almost the entire coastline is dotted with a huge number of resorts and pristine beaches. In all localities of Phuket, everyone can find entertainment to their liking, from water parks for children to atmospheric bars for adults. All this and much more allows you to attract crowds of tourists and thereby raise prices for Phuket's already in-demand real estate.

- The West Bank of Phuket can definitely be called "Mecca" for foreigners. Here, you and the purest water, white sandy beaches, a lot of fun and entertainment. Mostly on this part of the city, wealthy tourists most often buy houses and apartments for themselves.
Nuances of seasonality
Something particularly tricky in this matter is not, but some features are still present.
The period of the most ideal weather begins from approximately the beginning of November to the middle and end of the whole winter. Basically, at this particular time a large mass of tourists arrive in Phuket, which entails waves of rising prices for various types of real estate and some of the services provided.
Changing weather for the worse begins around mid-late winter, gradually more rain falls and becomes more windy. The consequence of this is to reduce prices, including housing. Since the beginning of this season, the owners of apartments and houses are trying to rent them out for a long-term and at a lower price, so as to earn at least something.
