Chalong Property for Sale, Phuket

Chalong: an area for living, not a resort

Chalong has no swimming beach: the bay with its pier is the departure point for boats to the islands. What it does have is everything you need for year-round living: supermarkets, clinics, international schools, sports clubs and services. The beaches of Nai Harn, Kata and Karon are a short drive away.

That is why Chalong is chosen by families relocating to Phuket for the long term and by investors counting on long-term rentals.

Listings in our catalogue

In Chalong and Wichit we list 7 projects: 4 villa developments and 3 condominiums. 4 projects are completed and 3 are under construction. Prices start from THB 3.3M, with a median of around THB 101,000 per sq m — lower than on the west coast.

Projects include The Base Rise, The Base Bukit, Larimar Villas, Larimar Vista, Botanica Chalong Bay and Mouana Grande Chalong Bay.

How to choose

Check the route to school, work and the beach at rush hour: the bypass road through Chalong can get busy. For a villa, find out who maintains the shared areas of the estate and what it costs.

If you are buying to let, plan for the long term — tourist demand here is lower than on the west coast.

How to buy property in Chalong

A foreigner can own a condo freehold as long as the building's foreign quota — 49% of the floor area — has not been used up. The funds must come from abroad, and the bank issues an FET certificate. Villas are usually held on a 30-year leasehold: a foreigner cannot own the land, and renewals are a term of the contract, not a legal guarantee. On registration you pay a 2% transfer fee plus either 3.3% specific business tax or 0.5% stamp duty; the contract states who pays what.

We request the developer's documents on the quota, permits and payment schedule in advance and share them with you before you reserve.
