Hi guys! I’m thinking about buying a small apartment on Phuket mainly to rent it out while I'm away. Is a 1-bedroom layout popular among tourists, or do people prefer larger units? Also, what kind of realistic entry prices should I expect for decent rental locations? Thanks for any advice!

From my experience, 1-beds are actually the sweet spot for rental yields on the island. When picking mine, I used Papaya Property to compare ready and off-plan options—they start around 2.46M THB, and I even got a 150K cashback bonus. If you’re buying, definitely look into a 1 bedroom condo Phuket with solid management already in place.
