Phuket areas for condo buyers: Choeng Thale (Bang Tao), Patong, Rawai, Kamala, Karon, Kathu, Phuket Town, Sakhu and Surin — prices, beaches and sea
The nine areas of the island as our Russian area guide lists them, with the figures we can source: asking-price medians where our listing sample has enough area-tagged listings, the beaches each area is tagged to, the calm-month figures of its closest beach and the condo projects we have fact-checked there. This page ranks nothing: it shows where the listings in our sample are.
Only 54 of the 1,067 listings in the sample carry an area tag — area tags exist only on current-catalog records, observed 30 April – 6 May 2026; the full sample covers 19 April – 16 October 2026. On the official side, the Treasury register of assessed values — not the asking price — is what the Land Office fees are computed on.
Where the listings in our sample are
| Area | Listings | Median asking price | Median per m² |
|---|---|---|---|
| Choeng Thale (Bang Tao, Laguna) | 26 | THB 9,660,292 | THB 159,954 per m² |
| Rawai (Nai Harn) | 8 | THB 6,535,406 | THB 113,343 per m² |
| Kamala | 6 | THB 4,401,606 | THB 125,930 per m² |
The other 6 areas have fewer than five area-tagged listings in the sample, so no median is published for them. Island-wide figures: Phuket property prices.

Three administrative districts and the Treasury's assessed values
Phuket province has three administrative districts (amphoe) in the Treasury register — Mueang Phuket (the district of Phuket Town), Kathu and Thalang. The nine areas above are beach and locality names, and no committed file of ours maps them to an amphoe, so this page does not assign them. What the register does set: the Land Office fees are computed on the official assessed value, not on the asking price (the cost of buying a condo). Median official rates by district and use category, data of 14 August 2024:
| District | Use category | Median assessed value | Records | Condominiums |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mueang Phuket | Residential unit | THB 40,500 per m² | 446 | 73 |
| Kathu | Residential unit | THB 42,000 per m² | 339 | 47 |
| Thalang | Residential unit | THB 36,750 per m² | 152 | 22 |
| Mueang Phuket | Holiday-residential unit | THB 53,500 per m² | 286 | 40 |
| Kathu | Holiday-residential unit | THB 64,500 per m² | 230 | 26 |
| Thalang | Holiday-residential unit | THB 70,500 per m² | 120 | 23 |

What this page does not know
- Asking prices are what listings advertise, not transaction prices.
- Only 54 of the 1,067 listings carry an area tag, and tags exist only on current-catalog records.
- Car times are OSRM estimates without traffic; in rush hour and in high season the trip usually takes longer.
- The calm-day share is a wave-model estimate — open-sea waves and the shape of the bay; it does not see surf, rip currents or the depth near the shore, and lifeguard flags decide.
- There is no official statistic of where foreigners live in Phuket that we could cite: this page shows where the listings in our sample are, nothing else.
