Phuket Houses From 25,000 THB a Month — Including the Ones Foreign Agencies Cannot Show You

Open any portal aimed at foreigners and you will not find a single house under 40,000 THB. Not one, on the whole island. Those houses exist — Thai families rent them every day — they are just not written in English anywhere.

I live in Si Sunthon and I rent them. Tell me your area, your budget and your move-in month, and within 24 hours you get up to 5 homes on WhatsApp: real photos I took myself, the true monthly cost, the electricity rate in writing, and whether the owner takes pets.

Six worries, six straight answers

Everything you are afraid of before you sign — and exactly what I do about it

These are the six things people actually write to me about. In that order.

“The photos will be from 2019 and the house from 2009”

Every photo on this page I took myself, this year, on the day I walked the house. Nothing is borrowed from the owner and nothing is touched up. If a kitchen is tired, you will see that it is tired here — not after an hour in the car.

“They will say no to my dog at the last moment”

I ask the owner about pets before I show you anything — cats, dogs, size limits, deposit on top. If the answer is no, I do not send you there and do not waste your afternoon finding out.

“There will be nowhere for the children to play”

Land is the first thing I photograph. A fenced garden, a shared lawn, a gated street with no through traffic, or nothing but a car port — you see which one it is before you ask, and I say it plainly when a home has none.

“I do not know if the street is any good”

I live in Si Sunthon. I will tell you which lanes flood in October, which have no pavement to walk a child on, which back onto a temple that starts at five in the morning, and which are eight minutes from the school run.

“I will be quietly overcharged every month”

Electricity at the government rate, with a photo of the meter each month. Water, internet, common fees and deposit terms written down in English before you view — not discovered in month two. Use the calculator below and you will see the whole number, not the rent.

“The agent will take a month’s rent from me”

Tenants pay me nothing. The owner pays when the lease is signed. No viewing fee, no contract fee, no “finder’s fee”. Ask me who pays me on any home on this page and I will tell you the answer.

Eleven homes I hold right now, from 20,000 to 80,000 THB

Most of what I keep sits between 20,000 and 48,000 — that is where the houses foreigners cannot otherwise find are. The larger ones are here too, so you can see what the extra money actually buys.

Updated 26 July 2026. Prices are per month. Deposit and electricity terms are on each home's page.

No agency on this island publishes this

Rent is about two thirds of it — see the number you will actually pay every month

Rent is never the whole number. Electricity is where people get hurt — some owners bill 6–8 THB a unit when the government rate is far lower. Move the options and see the real figure.

Air conditioning, honestly
Your realistic all-in monthly cost —

Ranges, not promises. Electricity is charged at the Provincial Electricity Authority rate — the government rate, with no owner markup. The exact figure for any specific home is written on that home's page before you view it.

Three questions, instant answer

Which of my homes fit you?

Answer three things and I will show you matching homes on this screen straight away — before you give me any contact details.

Step 1 of 4

Where are you right now?

Your budget per month

When do you want to move in?

Here is what I have

Want the full details on these — plus the ones I have not put on the site yet? I will send them on WhatsApp.

Thank you — I have your request.

I will reply on WhatsApp within 15 minutes if it is between 9:00 and 21:00 in Phuket right now. If it is later, you will hear from me first thing in the morning.

While you wait — six months or twelve? Do you need a pool? Any pets? Answer those in the chat and you save us a day.

In writing

My three promises

01

The home is one I hold

I have been inside it. The photos are mine. If it is gone, this page says so the same day — I will never show you a home to get you on the phone and then tell you it just went.

02

You get the real number before you view

Rent, deposit, electricity rate per unit, water, internet. Written down, in one message, before you spend a day driving around.

03

If it is not what I showed you, I fix it

You will have seen my photos and my video before you sign. If what you walk into is different, that is my problem, not yours.

Ask me about any of these
Four steps

From your message to your keys

You tell me what you need

Area, budget, move-in month. Two minutes on WhatsApp.

I send you up to 5 homes

Within 24 hours, with the full monthly cost on each one.

We view them

In person if you are here, or by video call if you are not. I walk through the whole house on camera, including the parts that are not pretty.

You sign with the owner

I read the contract with you and explain what each line means. The owner pays my fee. You pay rent and deposit to the owner, not to me.

Yuri, the agent you deal with
One person, not a call centre

You are dealing with one person, and this is him

I am Yuri. I live in Si Sunthon, Thalang, and I handle long-term rentals only — no holiday lets, no sales. I keep 10 to 15 homes at a time, in Thalang, Si Sunthon, Koh Kaew, Cherng Talay, Pa Khlok and Chalong, between 25,000 and 90,000 THB a month.

I am not a portal with 9,000 listings. If none of my homes fit you, I will say so instead of wasting your afternoon.

Honest answer

Reviews

“I have no reviews on this page yet, and I am not going to invent any.”
Every review you will ever see here will be a real one, with a first name, a nationality, the house they rented and a link you can open. Until those exist, this space stays honest and empty. If that bothers you, ask me for the phone number of the last tenant I placed — I will give it to you.
Where the 20–90k homes actually are

Where my homes are

Thalang & Si Sunthon

Where most of my list sits, and where I live myself. Family houses from 22,000, larger single-storey homes with a real garden around 48,000. The value pocket near UWC Thailand.

Koh Kaew

Two-storey houses 35,000–37,000, better-finished village homes up to 75,000. Central and the bypass road are minutes away, so town, the airport road and the schools are all reachable without crossing the island.

Cherng Talay & Pa Khlok

Houses from 32,000 on the Cherng Talay side; on the quiet east coast at Pa Khlok, villas finished to a standard you normally see only in sales brochures, around 80,000.

Chalong

Central and green. Houses with a proper covered terrace around 65,000, 15 minutes to Kajonkiet.

Honest note: if you want a pool villa in Bang Tao or Layan, my price band will not reach it — those start around 125,000 a month. I will tell you that on day one rather than on day three.
Straight answers

Questions people ask me first

Who pays your fee?

The owner does, when the lease is signed. You pay nothing to me at any point.

What deposit will I pay?

It is written on each home's page. Under Thai rules that came into force on 4 September 2025, deposits and advance rent are capped and your deposit must come back within 7 to 14 days of the lease ending. I will show you the exact figure before you view.

Is electricity included?

No. It is billed at the Provincial Electricity Authority rate — the government rate, with no owner markup. Expect roughly 1,500–4,500 THB a month for a couple, and 6,000–12,000 for a family villa running air conditioning.

Can I sign for 6 months instead of 12?

Yes on some homes, no on others. Tell me your dates first and I will only send you homes that will take them.

Can I bring my dog or cat?

Some owners genuinely welcome pets and some only tolerate them. I ask the owner directly and mark it on the listing. I will not put you in a home where the answer is “maybe”.

Can I rent before I arrive in Phuket?

Yes. I will do a full video walk-through with you on WhatsApp — the whole house, the road outside and the neighbours' side. I will not ask you to send money before you have seen it.

What documents do I need?

Passport and a visa or entry stamp. That is it for most owners.

Which homes are near BISP, UWC or HeadStart?

Tell me the school and I will send you the drive time for each home, measured at 7:30 in the morning, not at midnight.

Today, not next week

Tell me what you need.
I will answer today.

Area, budget and move-in month is enough to start. Within 24 hours you get up to 5 homes with the real monthly cost on each.
