Phuket property price index — full zone × type table

All figures are medians of active for-sale listings. "Active N" = condo listings + villa listings in that zone. Zones are sorted by condo ฿/m² descending.

* = fewer than 15 active listings of that type in the zone (Thalang/Cape Yamu condos, Kata/Mai Khao villas) — thin supply, treat the median as indicative only, not a reliable benchmark.

Methodology

Median, not mean. We use the median (50th percentile) rather than the average. In thin markets like Kata villas (7 active listings) or Cape Yamu condos (7 active listings), a single outlier unit would pull the mean far from the typical transaction price. The median is the figure a buyer is most likely to encounter.

฿/m² calculation. Derived from each listing's declared floor area (sqm) and asking price (THB). Where a listing has no floor area recorded, it is excluded from the ฿/m² column but counted in the median price calculation. Approximately 8% of listings lack floor area data.

Active listings only. "Active" means currently for sale in our catalog as of the update date. Sold, withdrawn, or deactivated listings are excluded. Our sold-detection pipeline cross-checks listings daily against source data.

Update frequency. This table is rebuilt monthly from the live catalog. The catalog itself is updated continuously (scraped daily); the index snapshot is published on the first Thursday of each month.

Coverage. 5,400+ for-sale listings across 15 tourist zones as of June 2026. This covers condominiums, pool villas, and houses. Townhouses, shophouses, and land plots are excluded from the condo and villa columns. [ref:listings#summary-2026-06]

Currency. All prices in Thai Baht (THB). No FX conversion is applied — convert at the rate valid on your transaction date.

Condo prices by zone

The condo market splits cleanly into three tiers by ฿/m².

Premium tier (฿126,000–฿164,000/m²): Bang Tao, Surin, Karon, Kamala. Bang Tao leads at ฿163,514/m² and a median of ฿7.0M — the Laguna corridor's branded-residence concentration (Cassia, AYANA, Banyan Tree) anchors the floor. Surin and Karon sit within 3% of each other at ฿130,000/m² despite different market characters: Karon is a mature mid-market with 179 active condos, Surin is a premium low-volume zone with a wide price ceiling. Kamala at ฿126,471/m² reflects Millionaires Mile adjacency; entry is ฿2.7M.

Mid tier (฿102,000–฿118,000/m²): Rawai, Patong, Nai Yang, Nai Harn, Thalang, Kata. Rawai (฿117,127/m², 176 condos) offers the most active mid-market with entry at ฿1.65M — the cheapest floor of any beachside zone. Patong's median condo (฿6.79M, ฿111,765/m²) is high for the tier because the active supply skews toward larger STR-optimised units; entry is ฿2.1M. Nai Yang and Nai Harn sit just above ฿105,000–฿107,000/m², with entry from ฿1.85M and ฿2.4M respectively. Kata's ฿102,206/m² is mid-tier on ฿/m² but median absolute price is ฿7.2M because the supply is dominated by larger units (only 47 active condos).

Value tier (฿75,000–฿94,000/m²): Chalong, Phuket Town, Kathu, Mai Khao. These four zones account for the island's most affordable entry points: Kathu from ฿1.39M, Mai Khao from ฿1.2M, Phuket Town from ฿1.55M. Chalong at ฿93,333/m² is the highest ฿/m² in this tier, reflecting marina-zone demand and newer supply. For buyers whose primary goal is capital entry rather than beach proximity, these zones offer the lowest cost per square metre on the island. Browse condos under ฿3M →

Villa prices by zone

Villa pricing is shaped more by land area and privacy than by ฿/m², so both figures matter.

Ultra-premium (median ฿33M+): Bang Tao, Surin, Cape Yamu, Patong. Bang Tao leads at ฿35.9M median (฿93,333/m²) with 178 active villas — the largest premium villa market on the island. Surin's ฿33.9M median with only 113 listings reflects genuine scarcity in the zone. Cape Yamu at ฿39.5M median (฿86,957/m²) is a low-volume ultra-premium area (49 villas). Patong's ฿35.7M villa median is high because the active supply skews toward large investment-grade properties.

Premium mid-range (฿22M–฿29M): Kamala, Karon, Karon, Nai Harn, Thalang, Phuket Town, Mai Khao. Kamala (฿23.45M, 70 villas, ฿87,451/m²) offers the zone's premium positioning at lower inventory. Thalang at ฿23.59M with 384 active villas is the single largest villa zone by listing count — it functions as the island's family-residential belt north of Heroines Monument. Entry here at ฿4.0M is the cheapest villa floor across all zones. Browse villas in Thalang →

Value entry (฿15M–฿19M): Rawai, Nai Yang, Chalong, Kathu. Rawai's ฿17.3M median (337 villas, ฿67,955/m²) is the largest villa zone after Thalang and the go-to for south-coast buyers seeking a pool villa under ฿20M. Entry starts at ฿5.9M. Chalong (฿16.4M, 139 villas) and Nai Yang (฿16.0M, 35 villas) offer similar value with different lifestyle contexts — marina and yacht community versus airport-adjacent new developments. See all pool villas on Phuket → or the off-plan villas pipeline → for new-build delivery schedules.

Kata outlier (฿75.4M, ฿198,000/m²). Kata's 7 active villas represent a tiny, illiquid sample skewed heavily upward by a small number of luxury hilltop listings. The ฿198,000/m² figure is not representative of the zone's typical villa market — treat it as a data artifact of thin supply, not a zone-wide benchmark.

How to read ฿/m²

Why condo ฿/m² exceeds villa ฿/m². An island-wide condo median of ฿116,822/m² versus villa ฿75,000/m² is not evidence that condos are "more expensive." It reflects structural differences: a 45m² condo in a managed building with pool, gym, and front-desk costs more per square metre than a 300m² land-plus-structure villa where land value is embedded in the total price but the structure itself may be lower-specification. The ฿/m² figure for villas effectively includes land — making zone comparisons within the villa column meaningful, but cross-type comparisons misleading.

Using ฿/m² for budget stress-testing. If you know you want ~65m² in Karon, ฿129,991/m² × 65m² = ฿8.45M is the zone median. That is not a valuation — it is a market expectation anchor. A unit priced below ฿6.5M in Karon at 65m² is either leasehold, off-plan, or in a project with a structural issue worth investigating. A unit at ฿11M+ is likely claiming a sea-view or high-floor premium worth verifying on-site.

฿/m² does not capture ownership type. A leasehold unit and a freehold (Foreign Quota) unit of identical size in the same building can differ by 15–25% in absolute price. The ฿/m² in this table aggregates both. For a full treatment of the freehold premium and what the 49% Foreign Quota limit means in practice, see freehold vs leasehold Thailand →.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the median condo price in Phuket in 2026?

The island-wide median condo price is ฿5.0M (approximately ฿116,822 per square metre), based on 2,372 active for-sale condo listings in June 2026. The range runs from ฿1.2M entry in Mai Khao to over ฿14M median in Cape Yamu. Zone choice matters more than any island-wide average.

Which zone has the cheapest condos in Phuket?

By entry price, Mai Khao is cheapest at ฿1.2M. By median ฿/m², Kathu is cheapest at ฿75,758/m² with a ฿2.9M median. Both zones are inland or airport-adjacent — buyers trade beach access for price. The cheapest beachside zone by entry is Rawai (฿1.65M), followed by Nai Yang (฿1.85M).

Which zone has the highest price per square metre for condos?

Bang Tao leads at ฿163,514/m² with a ฿7.0M median — the Laguna corridor's density of branded residences (Cassia, AYANA, Banyan Tree Residences) anchors the floor. Surin (฿130,000/m²) and Karon (฿129,991/m²) are the next two highest. The gap between Bang Tao and the island median is approximately 40%.

How often is this price index updated?

The index is rebuilt monthly from our live catalog. The catalog is scraped daily; the published snapshot is updated on the first Thursday of each month. The current table reflects data as of 5 June 2026.

Does freehold vs leasehold ownership affect the price index figures?

Yes. The table aggregates freehold (Foreign Quota) and leasehold units together. In practice, freehold-titled condo units typically carry a 15–25% premium over equivalent leasehold units in the same building. Buyers targeting Foreign Quota freehold should budget above the zone median. See freehold vs leasehold Thailand → for the full mechanics, and check Foreign Quota availability at the project level before committing.
