Not everyone looking for a permanent home on Phuket can afford or wants one of the multi-million baht villas overlooking the ocean and hills of the west coast. Many people have now realised that the exposure to the South Westerly weather from May until November results in high annual maintenance costs and that the strong winds make outdoor living uncomfortable during the summer months. This means that these homes become only winter season villas.

People come to the delights of Phuket initially as tourists and over time develop a love for the island. The climate in the low season is a little wetter than in the high season but remains pleasantly warm with many long dry periods. This means that Phuket is an ideal place for year round living.

The Tourist areas of the island are lively and noisy for several months of the year but deserted for the remainder. This is not ideal for the long term resident requiring tranquility, privacy and good service throughout the year.

Many moving to live permanently on the island choose peaceful, semi-rural locations, close to small towns and villages with good access to the main centres. For those living with Thai partners may find that schools,temples and markets become key priorities to consider when finding the ideal location for their home on the island.

The Soawaree Villas project provides solutions to these problems. The local village has schools, temples, pharmacies, mini-marts and a daily market. The Phuket Laguna complex provides a wide range of amenities which are aimed at the expatriate, health clinics, golf courses, equestrianism, restaurants, quality shopping, bars, spas and fabulous west coast beaches. The villas are located just five minutes from this oasis.

If less developed and unspoilt beaches are your priority the Sirinath National Park is where the outstandingly beautiful an beach is located, this is also within easy reach. The Phuket International Airport is only fifteen minutes drive and Phuket City with the major shopping malls is a twenty minutes drive. The nearby town of Thalang provides services such as banks, veterinary surgeons and dental care.
