Phuket Town property for sale
The island’s capital and business centre. Everything you need for year-round life is here: hospitals, international schools, the Central Phuket and Lotus’s shopping centres, markets and an old town of Sino-Portuguese streets. The sea is not within walking distance — Patong and Karon beaches are a 20–25 minute drive — but property prices are among the most affordable in Phuket.
Best for buyers who live on the island full-time and value the town close by more than a beach outside the window.
About the area
Phuket Town is the island’s capital and business centre: an old town of Sino-Portuguese streets, markets, hospitals, international schools and the biggest shopping centres — Central Phuket and Lotus’s. People live here all year round rather than for the season.
The projects stand in the newer residential districts around Central Phuket and along the bypass road — the Wichit and Rasada (Samkong) subdistricts, a few kilometres from the old town.

Property prices in Phuket Town
The price per square metre is among the most affordable on the island: the town is not a resort, so you don’t pay for a beach within walking distance. It is a way into the Phuket market for buyers who want a home to live in.
Current developer prices are shown in the project cards above. Prices and availability change every week — we send the live price list with free units on request.

Developers in Phuket Town
The developer here is Sansiri, with its The Base condominium line. 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 Phuket Town: 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 Phuket Town: FAQ
Can a foreigner buy property in Phuket Town?
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.
Is Phuket Town the old town?
Not only. The old town with its Sino-Portuguese streets is the historic centre; around it have grown modern districts with shopping centres, hospitals and schools. The projects in our catalogue are in these newer districts.
How far is the beach?
The town has no swimming beach of its own: the east coast is mangroves and piers. Patong is about 20–25 minutes by car over the hill, Karon and Kata about 25 minutes.
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.
