What an apartment costs to rent in Phuket
The catalogue holds 414 apartments on twelve-month contracts across fifteen districts, from ฿10,000 a month with a median near ฿30,000. That median sits above the condo market's ฿25,000 median, and the reason is the location mix rather than the format itself: apartment stock clusters on the west coast, where rates run well above the inland belt.
Bang Tao holds the largest selection — 66 units from ฿15,000 with a ฿55,000 median — followed by Patong (55 from ฿10,000, median ฿15,000) and Kamala (54 from ฿15,000, median ฿26,800). The inland exceptions are where the value is: Phuket Town has 46 apartments from ฿12,000 with a ฿25,000 median, and Chalong 29 from ฿12,000 with an ฿18,000 median. Almost the entire selection — 401 of 414 — comes fully furnished. Surin and Nai Yang are the quieter, smaller enclaves of the same class: 17 and 18 listings at ฿60,000 and ฿45,000 medians respectively.
By size, studios are the largest single group — 112 listings from ฿10,000, median ฿16,000 — followed by 171 one-bedroom units at a ฿28,600 median. Two-bedroom apartments (105 listings) jump to a ฿55,000 median, roughly double the one-bedroom rate, reflecting the west-coast skew of the larger units.
Apartment or condo?
For a tenant the two formats live much the same: a flat in a managed building, usually with a shared pool. The practical differences are price and geography — the condo market is far deeper (2,554 listings), cheaper (median ฿25,000) and more inland, while apartments skew beach-side and larger.
The difference matters more if you might buy later. Foreign freehold ownership applies to units in a registered condominium within the building's 49% quota; for a building listed as apartments, confirm its registration status before assuming the same route is available. Sixteen of these 414 units are also listed for sale, showing the monthly rate and the asking price on the same card, and our guide on renting versus buying in Phuket works through the decision in numbers.
Apartments for rent — FAQ
How much does it cost to rent an apartment in Phuket?
Rates start at ฿10,000 a month on a twelve-month contract, with a median near ฿30,000 across the 414 listings. Inland districts such as Phuket Town and Chalong sit around ฿18,000–25,000, while Bang Tao, Kamala and Surin run ฿27,000–60,000. Utilities are billed on top at meter rates.
How many apartments are available for long-term rent in Phuket?
The catalogue lists 414 apartments across fifteen districts, refreshed daily as units are taken and new ones arrive. Nearly all are fully furnished and sit in buildings with a shared pool. If nothing matches your district or budget, our team sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours.
What is the difference between an apartment and a condo here?
Day to day, very little: both are flats in managed buildings with shared facilities. The differences are commercial — the condo selection runs far deeper (2,554 listings) and cheaper on median — and legal if you later buy, since foreign freehold applies to registered condominiums within the 49% quota.
What deposit and contract apply to an apartment rental?
The market standard is a twelve-month lease at a fixed monthly rate, a security deposit of two months' rent, and the first month paid on signing. Electricity and water are metered and billed separately; internet is often included. Confirm the deposit-return conditions in writing before moving in.
