"There are many great options for finding a place to live in Phuket. You can search online for potential rental properties or you can attend housing fairs or contact relocation agents. You can also consider staying in a serviced apartment for a short term stay and network with locals for long-term options. Visit expat forums and websites for tips from people who have already moved to Phuket, or consult with a local property agent for advice. Also, think about the type of lifestyle you want to live in Phuket, such as a beachfront condo, a home in the hills or a more urban living space. Whatever your choice, you're sure to find something to fit your needs in Phuket," said a member 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," remarked another expat who made the move to Phuket, Thailand.
