advice watch it to the end give us a like And subscribe and yeah let's get into the video shall we so let's get one thing out of the way because three and a half years we've been living here actually and three and a half years doing YouTube and can kind of see a little bit into the future and I can read the comments already people are going to be saying poop gets expensive it's the most expensive player yeah it is we know that it is maybe look behind us it is one of the most expensive or the most expensive area to live in Phuket but that's where we've chose to live that's where we've chose to have a business or should we go and live in rural Thailand Maybe okay we're now at Caron Beach and we're heading to Phuket Town through some of the areas that we're going to talk about in this video uh and yeah look it's the true you know Phuket is compared to the rest of Thailand very expensive and it's getting more expensive at the minute and maybell's from isan the prize comparison is like what's it like so too there it's so cheap compared to here you know if that's the lifestyle you want then yeah maybe one day we'll retire in rural Thailand what do you think maybe yeah I win um 65. for now we like it here right yeah when we have it now yeah we've had enough we'll booger off and buy a house right let's go Phuket town okay the route we take is down Caron beach pascatter beach or Patak Road past Mabel's Coffee Garden through shalong through widget we're going to talk more about these areas in a bit straight into Phuket town foreign for the first part how to find or where you will find these properties and I'm going to do this with a slice of cake I'm having cake ice cream sweet drinks it's gonna give us a sugar rush and get going so we're currently in Phuket town and how we look for properties is first Port of Call we use Facebook Marketplace so get onto Facebook put your location obviously as Phuket you'll find lots of properties and it seems to be more current things like what's available now um also there's a pitfall here as well but I'm going to tell you that later in the video you'll have to keep watching uh yeah Facebook Marketplace you can find long-term accommodation on there and short term uh second one for maybe monthly stays Airbnb Airbnb is good hey which we actually have an Airbnb as well links in the description yeah Airbnb so if you're coming for a few months or you're not sure where you want to live I would always recommend you do a month here and there all around the island from Airbnb yeah see where you like see where you want to be get a feel for the place uh we've lived in Phuket Town Caron Qatar that's about it so far thirdly there are some websites here but I have to say not very good I can't find a good website if anyone knows a good website for property put it in the comment section you've got a DOT property which I've tried to book a viewing a couple of times and ended up nothing uh fazwas is another one but I think prices are on the high side and yeah if you know of any websites let us know and then another one which we like to do and are doing today feet on the ground get out in the car drive around have a look uh Thai style we put a picture on the you know put a phone number and you know call up whatever that simple easy way with found properties doing that before haven't we just have a look around ask yeah and that's a way you can find something maybe that wouldn't be advertised delicious what's mine Co ice cream what's this one opera cake cheesecake I want to try this one try the mango ice cream looks old nice yeah it's all right cheesecake ours is better what do you have now Mabel drink in the loop with breast milk try it cheers good we're in Phuket town at the moment in one of our favorite spots to have a bite to eat and Phuket town you have got more Choice really hey for food for nightlife whatever and you can go Thai style in phuketown you can live on street food if you like and yeah there's just a lot more options available we're actually tempted to come and live here ourselves aren't we we'll talk more about that in the next part which will be areas of Phuket restaurant core pool and has a beautiful view and it's quite hard to find actually uh first time when we came we get lost first time I got last year but we'll show you the view and we'll talk about carry on with the video you know yes the cheapest areas right up to the most expensive to a little look around this poo under gentle man put it up here very nice okay guys we're gonna do the next part which is what's the next part let's check and remember cheapest areas we're gonna do it while we're here in the restaurant and having dinner we're doing this videoing on the go aren't we what we're doing life at the same time yeah it's time to feed the big baby coming here look at the lump look at the bump it's growing fast now the last second we've had they said um maybe too small but since then the belly's growing fast and this place is where are we Phuket Town kind of on the east side of Phuket Town some food's arriving sorry green curry chicken here for me really cool very green I'll show you it's meant to be that quick we're going to start with the area and work the way up too what we believe the most expensive area so we got down as number one cheapest is Thailand and obviously some very remote parts of this island look it's a big island yeah you'll obviously find some that will be very cheap put to Lang at the moment when we're looking we're currently looking now is coming up as the cheapest for a house if you want a house a proper house yeah brand new you can get brand new three bed Garden for like 15 to 20 000. that's a good house I don't mean you know obviously you can find it even can find cheap there's something for every budget here that's a good thing about Phuket uh yeah so talang is the cheapest next on the list which I'm I'm really warming to is Phuket town phuketown you're right in this almost the center of the Island Central East looking we could film showing that way but it doesn't work with a filming and we're certain the picture it blows up the east side view is beautiful from this island uh phuketown has lots to offer loads of restaurants and for me it feels more like Thailand than the rest of Pluto yeah yeah you feel like you're in Thailand most of the locals then put guitar as well yeah most of them can get everything cheaper yeah compared yeah living you could yeah another area yeah you can live cheaper as well uh other than phuketown on a similar uh price range is Geelong tattoo and Cheung Tale similar prices but shalong is for me feel like I'm just living on a highway on a Motorway it was too big roads yeah he's not got that feel of Phuket for me and what you can find definitely find a cheaper property we could we could move there and get a house right now but I'd have to sit in traffic to get to our shop and that's something I don't want to do hey let's try this very green green curry very green so the case is nice shalong yeah like I say KATU is actually I would be another area I would go for cartoon because the location easy can get into a tongue or a bangtow it's kind of central bit further north and yeah it was it's got a very Countryside feel for me some of it not all of it some of it's very Countryside yeah and it's nice we'll get to the point what we've been looking for a long time so we've kind of been studying all these areas and there's so many better options for us but we can't go because we don't want to travel to the shop don't want to travel on a daily basis in traffic that's one thing I wanted to get away from next would be Camelot and Patong now yeah let me just mention the east side of this island is going to be cheaper East and Central it's going to be cheaper and the West is the most expensive because that's where the tourist places are so for tourist places I think the Tonga and Camelot you can find better deals for renting probably probably because there's more properties on par with that probably rawaii in the South many expats moving to this area proper Island feel yeah okay I'm gonna finish the areas on their own or maybell finishes food if you've ever lived with the tire lady one thing you would know is don't interrupt their eating too much they especially like this time I'm just a I'ma kind of get it down me and finish it kind of guy yes a raw eye number four on the list of price range living wise very popular with expats and more Island feel you feel you know you're on a tropical island in rawai yeah it's nice and then you've got our area we're in Qatar Caron Qatar is in Caron I put with them also bang Tao and Serene Maybe not far off each other problem with Qatar and karon I believe is very seasonal this is a tourist spot very busy in High season a lot of old properties so they know they can still get the money in High season so yeah they're just not bothered if you're looking long term hard to find a good deal yeah so it's up there with one of the more expensive areas I believe obviously Patong you know is more well known but is more on offer so you've got more deals to find so Qatar and Carol is near the top or at the top with you know for family rental prices let's see and then the very most expensive is going to be obviously hey look Phuket like I said you know with food living property you've got very high end and very low end you've got the full range Thai style fancy style you name it whatever you want is here so yeah and the same with the property you've got a famous billionaire Mile in Camelot you know full-on unbelievable properties Kate panwa in the East you could probably find it very cheap but got some of the most expensive you're talking millions and millions of dollars uh lion beach in the north and bang Tao together becoming a more higher end Market more luxurious places are being built so yeah but you know there's going to be something for everyone's budget we're struggling in Qatar and karon to find a family home that's not going to happen unless we had you know the budget was a lot higher or we move to shalong Phuket Town that's kind of why we've been I know a lot about this at the moment because I've been researching and looking for a long time yeah so that's like the areas if you look if you're coming here to retire I wouldn't stay in one of the tourist places no way Patong putang for me is a no way Qatar and Caron no way if you're coming to retire here or just live here and you don't have to be somewhere every day uh I would live in a more quiet area like the East Side maybe Cape panwa or Phuket Town Far East you can go on the east side and be near the coast and still getting to phuketown in 15 minutes you know but it's better places to live on this island than the tourist places are very good I would be living in one of these areas if we didn't have a bid business in Qatar but yeah later on step by step one day we'll be living somewhere else when I was here in 2018 I made a promise to myself I was thinking she'll share it in this video but they say You're Not Meant to share your goals and and yeah I made it kind of promise to myself when I was driving around this island I just decided yes I'm going to come and live here and I set myself a goal in my head very simple one but it's coming to fruition I'll maybe share it later yeah okay so next we're going to talk about pitfalls and tips I'll get my bell to help me with this one maybe maybe a glass of singer okay it's time for pitfalls and tips tip number one drink sing a beer with ice in it lasts longer right we're actually going through a bit of a pitfall ourselves aren't we do it okay Pick Four number one when you're looking on Facebook Marketplace there's going to be lots of adverts some Thai people putting adverts and some Thai agents and foreign agents and let's face it you know people have got to make money but some foreign agents are really bumping up the price I mean maybe 10 000 more a month on top of the price is much better if you can't deal direct with the owner hey right now we can't talk to the owner we're dealing through an agent so when we've got a problem it's hard to get resolution yeah uh so yeah that's just a pitfall to watch out for I would rather deal with Tire agents in Phuket than others shall we say let's not say we're living in a soft world that might upset somebody hahaha okay two and this is one of the pitfalls we have done we didn't read the contract read the contract very well ours says zero about the landlord's obligation to maintain the property not one word in the in in the contract of you know when you're in the middle of these things you don't really well we should have done okay was sold on The View weren't we yeah The View we should have read the contract if it looks like it's been typed up by uh you know someone's just knocked it up on a computer there's no obligation to the to the landlord then maybe think again and look somewhere else another one that we haven't felt foul of but a friend has is a beautiful condo facing the ocean with a beautiful view but at 12 o'clock in the afternoon all the way through the afternoon I've got the sun blazing through the windows and it's like you know very hot your balcony is virtually unusable and your yeah your apartment is just too hot so be aware of this because we luckily had one on the side the sun was rising in the morning got the sun in the morning and not in the evening we could still see the sunset but in the afternoon it was very nice and cold the other ones facing the ocean were roasting hot so a little one to think about especially if you're gonna buy okay last but not least I had to get yourself a deal here if you can speak direct with the owner or through the agent you can offer to pay longer like I'll pay for three months or pay for six months or even what did we do on the shop we paid for a year didn't we yeah the first time we got it six months okay maybe I was got the best memory here not me yeah we paid six months in advance and then you can negotiate the price that seems to go down well so yeah that's another way of getting a deal but yeah that's kind of it that's the areas and the cheapest place you're going to find property in Phuket and how to find so yeah we're gonna chill for a little while look at this beautiful view of the east side of Phuket and then go home thanks for watching thank you thank you for your input neighbor appreciate it good night God bless see you in the next one
