What's Driving Phuket Prices in 2026?
1. Record tourism recovery. Phuket welcomed 11 million visitors in 2025 — exceeding pre-COVID levels. More tourists = sustained rental demand = higher property values.
2. Russian and Ukrainian buyer surge. Since 2022, Russian and Eastern European buyers account for 30–40% of foreign purchases in some districts (Bang Tao, Rawai). This demand is structural, not seasonal.
3. Limited land supply. Phuket is an island. Premium beachfront and hillside plots are exhausted in most districts. New supply in Surin, for example, is essentially zero — existing units only trade between owners.
4. Remote work premium. Digital nomads and remote workers staying 3–6 months create a new mid-term rental category, bidding up quality 1–2BR units in Kamala, Rawai, and Cherng Talay.
