Phuket Rent Report — June 2026
This is RentScout's monthly snapshot of the Phuket rental market — asking prices across 554 live listings, including the local-language ones an English-only search never surfaces.
June 2026 in three numbers: the median 1-bedroom asks $480 · a deal in Phuket Town means a 1-bedroom under $360 · 360 new listings came in.
How much does a 1-bedroom cost in Phuket?
| Type | Median (USD/mo) | Listings |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | $440 | 26 |
| 1 bedroom | $480 | 144 |
| 2 bedrooms | $1,047 | 93 |
| 3 bedrooms | $1,673 | 147 |
Most 1-bedroom asking prices fall between $360 and $831 a month (the 10th–90th percentile of 144 listings). Anything below that band deserves a closer look — sometimes it's a deal, sometimes it's a reason.
Which areas are cheapest — and what counts as a deal?
| Area | Median 1BR | Deal threshold | $/m² (all sizes) | Listings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phuket Town | $478 | under $360 | $13 | 43 |
| Kathu | $430 | under $360 | $15 | 41 |
| Cherng Talay | $646 | under $427 | $20 | 12 |
The deal threshold is the bottom tenth of asking prices for that area — the same bar our "Deal" badge uses on the feed. 19% of current listings mention a quiet area — Phuket Town leads with 10% of its listings making that claim.
What can your budget get you?
| Monthly budget | Covers | Goes furthest in |
|---|---|---|
| $400/mo | 27% of 1-bedrooms | Kathu (43%), Phuket Town (28%) |
| $475/mo | 48% of 1-bedrooms | Kathu (66%), Phuket Town (49%) |
| $550/mo | 70% of 1-bedrooms | Kathu (90%), Phuket Town (80%) |
Coverage is the share of current 1-bedroom listings asking at or below that budget.
What's actually on the market?
| Type | Median (USD/mo) | Listings |

| Condo | $487 | 151 |
| House | $1,204 | 139 |
| Villa | $2,456 | 117 |
| Apartment | $525 | 56 |
How much came onto the market in June 2026?
360 new listings arrived. 64 of the currently active ones are priced in the bottom tenth for their area and size — worth checking first, because places priced like that rarely survive the week.
