The Phuket real estate market has seen significant changes over the past eight years. Previously, small property management companies and private owners dominated the market, renting out apartments through personal connections, social networks, or aggregators.

Phuket remains one of the most attractive resort destinations for real estate investment. In early 2024, the real estate market on the island showed impressive results: more than 3.6 million tourists visited in the first quarter, a 30% increase compared to the same period last year. By the end of the year, tourism revenues are expected to exceed 400 billion baht, approximately 12 billion USD. These numbers highlight the incredible potential for hotel and rental property owners.
