What is a condominium in Phuket

Many are frightened when they hear the unfamiliar word "Condominium". So that there is no misunderstanding, let's figure out together what it is, what are the advantages of a condo and how to choose the ideal complex for you.

A condominium is an apartment complex, sometimes consisting of several buildings. The difference from the usual residential buildings is that in such a complex the infrastructure of high-class hotels is available.

As a rule, in the complexes of apartments of the island to the services of guests are offered:

• swimming pool (one or several)
• restaurants and bars
• roof terrace with view
• massage and SPA-salons
• Gym
• children's room or babysitting services
• laundry
• parking
• recreational area
• lobby

You can rent an apartment in such a house as for one person - in this case, a small studio apartment is suitable. So for a large family or company - in this case, you will be suitable for a condo with two or three separate bedrooms.

Some condominiums have luxury penthouses covering an area of more than 200 meters. In such apartments will be comfortable a large group of friends or family who came to Phuket with representatives of the older generation.

We recommend renting a condo for families with small children, because each apartment has its own kitchen. This is convenient if your baby is used to homemade food.

Plus, in the complexes there is always a company for both kids and older children - together it is more fun to play near the pool or on the playground.

You can rent an apartment in Phuket for both short and long term. The shorter the term - the higher the rental price in terms of a day.

It is most profitable to rent housing in Phuket for a long time. Please note that the landlord at the conclusion of the lease agreement will necessarily ask to pay a refundable insurance premium and a deposit in the amount of one or two monthly payments. If you do not violate the rules of the contract, the amount is returned to you in full when you leave the apartment.

Another nuance must be taken into account if you are interested in apartments in a condominium in Phuket - this is the payment of electricity. When checking in together with a representative of the management company, be sure to check the electricity meters and specify the cost per unit (in Thailand, electricity is measured in units).

If you rent a house for a short time, then the cost of electricity can be included. With long-term rental, electricity is always paid separately at the tariffs of the complex.

Residential complexes are located throughout Phuket. In the north of the island, we recommend renting apartments for those who prefer a more relaxing holiday. In the central part of the west coast - on the beaches of Patong and Karon, for example, accommodation is suitable for those who love parties, clubs and nightlife.

With children, we recommend renting an apartment in the Laguna areas of Bang Tao or Naiharn (both there and there are children's clubs with playgrounds, children's pools and animation).

If it is important for you to have a large hospital near the house, then pay attention to the apartment complexes in the center of the island - in the Kathu area or Phuket town. Also, these areas are suitable for families with school-age children - large international schools in Phuket are concentrated here.
