5 Reasons to Move to Phuket Today!
Making the decision to relocate is never a simple one. It requires thought, organisation, commitment and no small degree of faith that your decision to trade in the familiar for the less familiar is in the best interests of you and your family.
The island of Phuket is an increasingly popular spot for expat families to relocate and, as an expat myself, it’s pretty easy to see why. Indeed once you move to Phuket, it is quite difficult to imagine a more desirable alternative.
If you're considering the move, whether for work, family, or lifestyle reasons, many people eventually look to settle in one of the many beautiful homes on the island. You can easily find the perfect location, especially if you're looking to buy a villa in Phuket that offers luxury, comfort ,and space.
Let’s dive into 5 reasons you should move to Phuket today!
1. Healthcare
No matter how careful you may be or how healthy your lifestyle, accidents happen.
With that said healthcare facilities will always be a vital component of any decision to relocate.
The good news is that Phuket healthcare facilities including its hospitals and many clinics are some of the best in the region. Thailand itself is one of SouthEast Asia's main hubs for medical tourism and the facilities on the island certainly live up to that reputation.
Phuket’s two main accredited hospitals, Bangkok Phuket Hospital and Siriroj International Hospital provide the highest standard of urgent care, specialist treatment and cosmetic adjustments, all at a fraction of the price of the private healthcare you will find in Europe and the United States.
If you are worried about language being a significant barrier to the care you will receive, fear not as the hospitals have staff that speak a myriad of languages including English, Spanish, Russian, Italian, German, Dutch and more.
In Phuket, you are in good hands.
2. Schooling
The million Baht question for individuals looking to relocate with children is often pointed at whether or not they will receive the same standard of education they are used to, or if they will have to compromise on that front.
The good news for expatriate families on this front is that the answer is very simple. Phuket’s growing network of education establishments are now jostling for position to be some of the best in the entire region.
This is especially prevalent in the international school community, which has seen 1000 new students enter at the start of the 2022-2023 school year, a marked uptick from previous years.
The international school experience is a unique and rewarding one, exposing your children to a diverse mix of cultures and perspectives, teaching them how to be responsible and productive global citizens.
In Phuket, you can opt for the old reliable establishments of British International School (BISP), United World College (UWCT), Headstart International School and many more.
3. Experiences
Phuket’s unique geography, as an island in the middle of the Indian Ocean wedged between the tropic of cancer and the equator plus its rapid recent development makes for a wide array of tropical experiences and adventures.
On land, Phuket has much to offer, shopping infrastructure has seen a remarkable improvement over the last decade and has led to a greatly galvanized scene including the extension of the central department store, BangTao’s Porto de Phuket and the newly constructed Robinson department store on ThepKasattri road.
This is in addition to the many natural establishments dedicated to the conservation of species such as the gibbons rehabilitation project and elephant sanctuaries dotted around the island.
That’s before we even mention the sandy beaches that are a staple of life in Phuket which dominate the western coastline of the island.
It is also possible to charter a boat from Phuket’s marinas and piers to explore the archipelago of islands ad dive sites that lurk just offshore this magic place.
4. Food
Thailand’s delectable gastronomy is not a secret to the global community, with Thai restaurants dotted around the world’s high streets and towns.
However, nothing can quite beat the real deal with delicious and ridiculously affordable restaurants and street vendors happy to cook up a mouthwatering concoction of authentic Thai cuisine on almost every street corner and road on the island.
For those seeking a return to home comforts, you need not fret either. As Phuket develops its increasingly diverse expatriate community, the more the variation of culinary experience becomes available.
To the middle of the island, the blooming township of cherngtalay is home to some of the best fine dining experiences including Little Paris, Eden Grill, Lucacini, SUAY Restaurant and more, each providing their own unique touch on gourmet dining.
To the south of the island, in tune with their style, the sleepy regions of Rawai and Nai Harn elicit a more laid back vibe, with smaller, swankier dining experiences and work cafes for networking dot the landscape.
Whatever your stomach is feeling, Phuket has it covered.
5. Affordable Property
Despite the recent ongoing boom in the Phuket property market, Phuket remains one of the more affordable global locations to get yourself a family home.
Condominiums on the island in a good location are now available from as little as 3.5 million Thai Baht and, if you are willing to spend 28-40 million Thai baht (.800,000 USD - 1,000,000 USD) you can get yourself a fantastic pool villa in a great location near the coast and living amenities.
This represents pricing that is significantly more affordable per square meter than much of the island’s closest competitors in the region including Singapore and Hong Kong.
For those looking to buy property in Phuket, the value you get for money here is hard to match.
