Cost of renting in Phuket in 2026: prices by type and area

The Phuket rental market has a price for every budget — the trick is knowing what's fair. Here is the 2026 map.

Nightly rates (high season, booked direct)

• Studio in a pool complex: 1,000–2,000 THB
• One-bedroom near the beach: 1,800–3,000
• 2-bedroom family unit: 2,500–4,500
• Private-pool villa: from 4,000–6,000 (2BR) to 12,000–20,000 (4BR)

Monthly rates (high season)

• Studio: 12,000–18,000 THB
• One-bedroom: 18,000–30,000
• 2-bedroom / townhouse: 25,000–45,000
• Villa: 60,000–150,000+

Add utilities on top — mainly electricity: the realistic numbers.

What moves the price

• Season: May–October is 30–50% cheaper across the board (low-season playbook)
• Area: Bang Tao and beachfront Kata top the chart; Chalong, Kathu and Phuket Town anchor the bottom — compare in the area guide
• Distance to beach: the first line costs double; 500 metres inland the premium evaporates
• Term: monthly beats nightly by 30–50%; yearly beats monthly again (yearly guide)
• Booking channel: OTA prices carry 15–25% commission — direct vs platforms
