Buy an apartment in Bang Tao, Phuket
Bang Tao is one of the most developed resort areas on Phuket’s west coast. It lies in Choeng Thale, between Surin and Layan, and combines a long beachfront with residential projects, villas, the Laguna Phuket resort, restaurants, shops and everyday infrastructure. The area suits more than holidays: supermarkets, cafes, medical services, sports clubs and international schools are close by, so property here is bought both to live in and to rent out. The choice runs from modern condominiums and resort-style apartments to pool villas and premium residences.
Why this district
A long beachfront
Bang Tao beach runs for several kilometres along the west coast. Its stretches differ noticeably in character: restaurants and beach clubs cluster near the centre of the area, while towards the north the development thins out. The length of the shoreline lets you choose between projects close to the sea and quieter blocks further inland in Choeng Thale.
Laguna Phuket
An important part of the area is Laguna Phuket, a large integrated resort complex with hotels, residential property, restaurants, green areas and a golf club. A separate residential cluster has grown around it: condominiums, residences and villas across different price levels.
Boat Avenue and Porto de Phuket
These are among the main centres of everyday life here: restaurants, cafes, shops, supermarkets and services. Because of them most daily errands can be handled within Bang Tao and Choeng Thale, without driving to Phuket Town or other parts of the island.
Closer to the airport
Bang Tao sits in the northern part of the west coast and is closer to the international airport than many popular areas in the south of the island. The actual travel time depends on traffic and on which part of the area you are in. This location suits owners who fly to Phuket regularly.

How much does an apartment in Bang Tao cost?
There is no single price for the area. It depends on the project, the size, the floor, the view, the distance to the sea, the construction stage, the specification and the form of ownership. Beyond the price per square metre it is worth weighing the payment terms, the running costs, the facilities of the project and the likely rental demand.
