Wichit: a place for comfortable living in Phuket
Wichit is an area in Phuket, situated between Chalong and Phuket Town. The boundaries of Wichit are blurred in the minds of its residents as it merges organically with its neighbouring areas to the north and south.
Cape Panwa and Ao Yon Bay are one of the few places in the area that could be considered a tourist destination. It should be noted, however, that there is no mass tourism here. The villas in Panwa are typically chosen by people with above-average incomes who value peace and quiet. The surrounding Thai villages remain largely unchanged despite the decades of tourism development in Phuket.
Meanwhile, other areas of Wichit are favoured by long-term expats who may not even realise they live in Wichit. They may think their house or apartment is in Chalong, Kathu or Phuket Town.
In 2025, the area remains relatively quiet, but it is slowly developing as an attractive investment destination. The number of business and premium-segment projects is increasing.
Wichit offers a variety of housing options, including popular condominiums such as The Base, Centrio, and Zcape, as well as pleasant Thai villages like the Phuket Villa ones. These villages are particularly attractive to expats seeking a leisurely Thai lifestyle combined with affordable housing.
Many villages have a communal swimming pool and sports ground, as well as other everyday facilities such as shops, cafés, hairdressers, beauty salons, and shoe repair shops.
Who is Wichit For?
Wichit is an ideal location for those who have already settled in Phuket and wish to experience a Thai or semi-Thai lifestyle. Local villages and condominiums offer the best of both worlds: European comfort and the affordable Thai cost of living. Furthermore, Wichit is just as convenient for transportation as Kathu, Phuket Town, and Chalong.

Property Prices in Wichit
Wichit is a large area that offers a variety of housing options, but in most cases, these houses and apartments are located far from the coast. However, in 2025, there has been a significant increase in the supply of housing in Wichit, with the emergence of new premium housing formats. The cost of apartments in condominiums near Central Phuket starts at around 75 thousand dollars. A two-storey detached house in the countryside can be purchased for around 200 thousand dollars, although the price range for this type of property is quite wide.
