Have you ever visited Phuket?

What type of help do you need?

Try phuket town if u want to live like a thai budget.
rental 10,000thb per mth
water & electric 2500thb
Thai food - 35-40thb per meal

Try rawai/chalong for more familiar setting.
Lots of expat living in that area.

I'm living in karon area....if u plan to move into phuket long term more than 20 yrs i advise u to buy leasehold condo.... considered cheap rent.

If only short-term 1-2 yrs b4 hopping to other parts of thailand or exploring other countries just rent.

I don know wads your budget for living expenses monthly.

Thai life style - about 8,000thb mthly
Thai ppl they share room rental/ split water & electricity costs
ciggie they wrap their own -5thb
Food 50% dinning out/ 50% hm cooked meal


My living style(chinese/thai mixed) - about 9000thb mthly
studio at karon (bought)
honda city (bought)
internet - 9000thb 1yr
hp fees topup - 100thb seldom use.
water & electric 2000thb
ciggie - 1500thb
thai/chinese food/fruits - 3500thb
car petrol - 1500thb

Activities - swimming, gym, beach, snorkerling, watch TV , surf net, eat.

western style - easily 30,000-60,000thb monthly
If you go clubbing, drinking, eat western food.......can add up pretty fast.

Gd luck.

Hi

Did you move to Phuket? Are you still there?

What did you find?

I'm moving in 13 days... Any advice much appreciated.

I'm looking around Kathu for accomodation, but want to keep it as cheap as possible.

Thanks,
Cathrine
