Whilst Phuket property investment has been focused in the past on coastal locations, there is a strong movement to inland and hillside Phuket real estate that offers more privacy and fantastic sea views. Many permanent residents prefer to stay east of the hill range that separates the phuket West Coast from the rest of the island where business activity is concentrated. Inland property is less expensive and represents one of the best values in Thailand properties. Inland and hillside residents have the advantage of good access to Phuket town, shopping, and a multitude of choices for beaches.

Phuket Land Ownership

Phuket properties, phuket land , phuket villas, homes, bungalows, and phuket apartments are relatively easy to buy if you know Thailand’s rules, and purchasing land is no different. One of the barriers to land ownership is that Thai law forbids non-Thais from owning the actual land. To address this problem, it’s common for foreigners to place the ownership of the land in the name of a Thai spouse or in a company that has 51 per cent Thai ownership. This method requires surefootedness and trust to avoid being taken advantage of. With a good lawyer, good advice and ethical real estate agents, you can generally buy with peace of mind and security.
