What it costs to rent a house in Rawai
Rawai lists 84 houses for long-term rent — the sixth-largest house market among the island's nine zones, yet the cheapest entry point of any of them: ฿12,000 a month, ฿1,000 below Thalang Inner or Chalong. The median across all bedrooms is ฿33,000, 27% below Phuket Town's ฿55,000 house median and well under Bang Tao's ฿40,000.
One- and two-bedroom houses carry the supply: 33 one-bedroom listings (39%) median ฿23,000 from ฿12,000, and 28 two-bedroom listings (33%) median ฿35,000. Three-bedroom houses are fewer, 15 listings, but jump to a ฿75,000 median — a step change, not a gradual climb. Four- and five-bedroom houses total 8 listings, from ฿25,000 to ฿150,000.
What the rent includes, and what costs extra
The standard: a twelve-month lease, a two-month deposit, first month at signing. Electricity and water are metered and billed on top — a house with a yard typically runs a bigger bill than a same-size condo.
87% of supply — 73 of 84 houses — comes fully furnished, 7 partly furnished, one unfurnished and one negotiable. A private or shared pool covers 31 of 84 houses — 37%, the rest have none. Condos in Rawai start at the same ฿12,000 floor — a rare case where house and condo entry rates tie.
Who Rawai suits for a house rental
Rawai sits at the island's southern tip near Nai Harn — a boat pier rather than a swimming beach on its own shore, with a long-established expat community rather than a construction zone. Reaching the sea usually means a short drive to Nai Harn or Ya Nui.
A house here suits a tenant who values a quiet, already-settled area with a ready community over a fashionable address or beach at the door. Dual listings are scarce — 3 of 84, about 4% — houses here are mostly held to live in, not to flip. Villas for rent in Rawai cover the larger format, and the full house rental market and long-term rental catalogue refresh daily.

Houses for rent in Rawai — FAQ
How much does it cost to rent a house in Rawai?
Rates start at ฿12,000 a month on a twelve-month lease — the lowest entry point among the island's nine house zones. The median across 84 houses is ฿33,000: one-bedroom houses, the largest category, median ฿23,000, and two-bedroom houses median ฿35,000. That's noticeably cheaper than Phuket Town or Bang Tao.
How many houses are available for long-term rent in Rawai?
The catalogue lists 84 houses for long-term rent in Rawai, the sixth-largest house market among the island's nine zones. One- and two-bedroom houses make up 73% of supply, refreshed daily. If nothing matches your budget, our team sends a shortlist within a day.
Are house rentals in Rawai furnished?
Mostly yes: 73 of 84 houses — 87% — come fully furnished, 7 partly furnished, and one each unfurnished or negotiable. A private or shared pool covers just 31 houses — 37%, the rest have none. Confirm furnishing and pool access per listing before booking.
Can I rent a house in Rawai now and buy it later?
Rarely. Only 3 of 84 Rawai houses — about 4% — are dual-listed for rent and sale, well below the share among local villas. That suggests houses here are held to live in long-term rather than to resell, so a dual-listed house is worth acting on quickly if it fits.
