Koh Kaew — property in Phuket
The east side of the island, at the entrance to Phuket Town. There is no swimming beach — the eastern shore is mangroves and marinas. The value here lies elsewhere: the British International School, major hospitals and the town with its jobs and services. Many families choose this area specifically for the school.
Best for families who put the school and hospital ahead of a beach outside the window.

Who builds here
The most active developers are: Botanica Luxury Phuket, Rhom Bho Property (The Title), Mouana Phuket (a brand of Modern 79). For each we check what they have already delivered in Phuket and how they held to schedule — that matters far more than the renders when buying off-plan.
The median price per square metre here is ฿94 000 — 20% below the island average (median across all our projects: ฿117 000).
Handover schedule
Projects by year of completion: 2028 — 2, 2029 — 1. The further out the date, the lower the entry price and the longer the instalment plan — but the longer the wait for keys. That is the main trade-off within a single area.
By bedroom count the supply breaks down as: 3-bedroom — 2, 4-bedroom — 4, 5-bedroom — 1 (a single project may offer several options).
Frequently asked questions
Can a foreigner buy property in this area?
An apartment — yes, within a condominium’s freehold quota (49% of the building’s area). A foreigner cannot own the land under a villa outright: it is held on a long lease (leasehold) or through a Thai company. We review the structure of each project before any deposit.
How many projects here are completed?
1 project is completed and 3 are under construction. For the latter we show site photo reports and confirm handover dates with the developer.
Are the prices on the site current?
Prices and unit availability change weekly, and developer price lists are not public. We keep ours updated and send the live version on request, together with layouts and instalment terms.
