Frequently Asked Questions

What is a realistic long-term rental yield in Phuket?

4–6% net after CAM, management and tax, depending on zone and price point. Condo-led residential zones — Phuket Town, Kathu, Chalong and the resident side of Bang Tao — with steady expat and Thai-professional tenant demand sit in this band.

Which zones are best for long-term rental income?

Residential, non-tourist zones with year-round demand — Bang Tao (resident side), Phuket Town, Chalong and Kathu. They carry lower seasonal vacancy than beach short-term zones and attract one- to two-year leases from working tenants and families.

Is long-term rental legal for foreign owners in Phuket?

Yes. Letting for 30 days or more needs no hotel licence and is legal in every building. Rental income is taxable in Thailand under progressive personal income tax and should be declared — budget for that when modelling net yield.

Long-term vs short-term rental for a hands-off investor?

Long-term wins on simplicity: one tenant, low turnover, no licence question, and a predictable 4–6% net. The trade-off versus short-term is lower gross upside in exchange for far lower operating overhead and legal risk.
