David asked:
I’m UK citizen planning to retire in the Phuket area. I plan to avoid the expensive beach areas and live in Phuket town. Where in Phuket do the bulk of English speaking retirees actually live. I expect to [pay about 12000 Baht per month for a 1 bedroom Condo. Is this realistic and assuming it is then in what part of the town.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks.
David

I think the expensive beach areas also have some cheaper neighborhoods – why don’t you google around on baht and sold and look at real estate listings for Phuket – that will give you the best idea – you can see what is available –
but no substitute for checking it out on your own -

Like you style moving myself to Thailand for good next year myself
But why Phuket ? most expensive place to live as far as I am concerned
Why are you renting ? Have you been granted Visa Yet ?
The only way to go is to buy – renting will soon eat up your money
Why rent when you can buy properties for as little as 2-3 millon baht and 1/2 price up Country.
Please reconsider all your options because I do not think you have though about this in detail.
Good Luck.
