How do I find a place to live in Phuket?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Phuket is to use online resources such as websites and forums. Websites such as Expat.com, Thailand Property, and Phuket Property offer listings of available properties for rent or sale. Additionally, forums such as Phuket Forum and Phuket Talk are great resources for finding information about living in Phuket, including advice on where to look for housing. Additionally, it is possible to find housing through word of mouth, by asking friends or colleagues who have lived in Phuket for recommendations," said another expat in Phuket, Thailand.
"I searched all the rental sights and settled on a PEACEFUL place short term, through airB&B that spoke English and had a friendly feel. That was a crucial part of the transition. The I made connections and wound up renting long term in the same area in Phuket. Rental agencies and driving in place I was unfamiliar with was stressful and did not avail me a long term home," wrote a member who made the move to Phuket, Thailand.
