Thalang in Phuket, Thailand: the peaceful north of the island

The district of Thalang covers the northern part of the island of Phuket. Historically, it was primarily an agricultural area with a sparse population. However, it held great importance for the Thais migrating from the mainland, as it was the only place where they could source food.

Over the past two or three years, several new roads, commercial facilities (shops, cafés, and restaurants), and an international school have opened in the area. This has made Thalang more convenient for living and renting on a year-round basis. From 2023 to 2025, the number of foreign buyers increased to 35%-40% in the area, especially from countries such as China, Russia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Europe. There has also been an increase in interest in long-term rental properties and front-line villas in the area.

Property Prices in Thalang

The area is actively developing with the construction of luxury villas and club residences. There is a limited amount of vacant land available on the first line, which increases the investment attractiveness of the area. Thalang continues to be a key location in the premium segment, with the average price of land with sea views ranging from 5 to 15 million baht per plot.

In Thalang, there is accommodation for all tastes and budgets. The most affordable condos are located near the northern beaches, such as Mai Khao and Nai Yang. You can purchase a studio with an area of 30–35 square metres for around 100,000 dollars or less if you sign a contract at the beginning of construction. Villas with 300–350 square metres cost around 350,000 dollars.

We only work with reputable Phuket developers— those who have completed several projects successfully, leased them out, and faithfully fulfilled their obligations to owners. These developers have faced serious challenges during lockdowns but have persevered.

The price order is different in Laguna, Bang Tao, and Surin, which are considered the most prestigious areas of Phuket. The cost of similar properties there is one and a half to two times higher — studios starting from 200 thousand dollars and villas starting from 500 thousand dollars.

Short-term rental yields in Thalang currently reach 6–8% annually, while long-term rental properties provide a stable 4–5%.

Some Phuket developers offer buyers the opportunity to use their project as a financial instrument, in addition to rental yields. Essentially, by purchasing an apartment in a project without instalments during the earliest stages of construction, buyers thereby finance the project, and developers are willing to pay up to 5% annual yield on this capital, even during the construction phase.

This scheme is called pay back. It is a good way to get a double benefit: to buy an apartment at a more favourable price at the start of sales and start earning income even before the apartment is rented out.
