Koh Kaew property for sale
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.

Developers in Koh Kaew
Developers here include Botanica, The Title, Mouana and Sansiri. For each one we check what they have already delivered in Phuket and how they kept to schedule — that matters more than the renders when buying off-plan.
New developments in Koh Kaew: off-plan or ready
The area has both completed homes and projects under construction. A ready home can be lived in or rented out straight away; off-plan means a lower entry price and instalments until handover, but the developer’s track record matters more.
Before you buy
BURO is a Phuket real estate agency working with new developments; our service is free for you. Useful reading before a deposit: freehold vs leasehold, taxes and purchase costs, how a remote purchase works, how to vet a developer.
Buying property in Koh Kaew: FAQ
Can a foreigner buy property in Koh Kaew?
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.
Can I pay in instalments?
For projects under construction, yes: payment is usually split into stages until handover, and each developer sets its own schedule. We send the schedule together with the price list.
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.
