 Phuket remains a beautiful tropical holiday island. A casual vacation atmosphere pervades all aspects of life here. The tourism and real estate sectors are responsible for much of Phuket’s solid infrastructure and its excellent portfolio of leisure and lifestyle amenities. Burgeoning Phuket real estate is keenly focused on the middle to high-end international markets and has been instrumental in bringing more internationally recognized product brands and services to the island.
 Throughout its rapid modernization, Phuket has retained its tropical beauty, charm and affordability. The costs of living are approximately 1/3 of UK prices. Today Phuket property is not only the most sought-after in South-East Asia, but is a serious competitor with the Mediterranean for the European market.
