1. Purpose of purchase Are you looking for a place to live permanently, vacation, or rent out?
For living, areas with supermarkets, schools, and hospitals are preferable
For investment, locations near the sea and tourist routes are preferable
2. Proximity to the sea The closer to the beach, the higher the price. But this isn't always a plus: noise, seasonal traffic, and lack of privacy can be a downside. Look for a balance — 5–10 minutes to the beach by bike
3. Infrastructure Supermarkets, cafes, gyms, schools, hospitals — all of these make the area more comfortable and liquid
4. Growth potential Look at areas that are actively developing: new roads, hotels, residential complexes. That's where prices will rise the most

Bang Tao Ideal for renting and living. Developed infrastructure, close to Boat Avenue, Porto de Phuket, Laguna. One of the most prestigious areas on the island.

Patong Tourist center. Suitable for short-term rental investments. Not the most comfortable place to live, but good return on investment
Kata and Caron A good compromise between quiet and tourist traffic. Suitable for families and investments
