Phuket Upcoming Prime Location In 2022

Phuket’s prime locations are always in constant change, back in the 2010s the millionaire miles in Kamala and Surin beach was Phuket’s prime location. But since 2021 this has changed a lot since many of the businesses had to close down, beachfront restaurants were taken away and several businesses moved to other locations. So where is Phuket’s new upcoming prime location? Which are the best areas to buy properties in Phuket for investment opportunities?

What Is Phuket Like After 2020?

A lot has happened not just in Phuket but worldwide since the 2020 pandemic. Our daily routines have changed, our lifestyle has changed, and our needs and requirements have adjusted. Which naturally has also reshaped a lot of things around the world, and Phuket was no different. With tourism as Phuket’s number one source of income when the pandemic hit and the city went into lockdown a lot of the prime locations became ghost towns. But as things started to reactivate and businesses started to resume, they had to move their business locations to wherever there was demand and traffic. These 3 main sought-after locations were: Phuket Town, Chalong / Rawaii & Laguna Area.

Phuket was the first to introduce the Sandbox Program, which allows international travelers to enter Thailand through Phuket. The main purpose of this program is to slowly generate revenue and revitalize the tourism industry in the region. It took a while for the flow of money to become as consistent as it used to be, although it is not as high as it was during the pre-pandemic. In the beginning, more than 14,000 tourists successfully participated in the sandbox program. In April 2022, there were about 293,330 tourists enjoying island life in Phuket.

And a short 5-10 minute drive up north from Cherngtalay is Layan beach. An authentic tropical pine tree paradise and fantastic for water activities such as kayaking, snorkeling, or SUP boarding.

By 2022, many of these businesses from Surin Beach had to move to Boat Avenue in Laguna / Cherngtalay. Various infrastructures such as shopping centers, wellness centers, water parks and many restaurants have recently relocated here.
