Fourth-Floor Studio with Pool and Garden Views in Karon

Held with a Chanote title deed, this fourth-floor studio in Karon measures 31 sqm and looks onto the development's pool and gardens rather than the street — a quieter aspect for a compact unit.

Karon is a sensible base on the south-west coast: a long sandy beach that stays calmer than Patong, with restaurants and shops in the town and quick access to Kata and Rawai. A studio at this size is easy to maintain and easy to hand over between guests.

Ownership options are broad — foreign freehold, Thai freehold, leasehold or purchase through a company — which is worth noting at this price level, where foreign freehold is not always on the table. It fits a first-time Phuket buyer or a small rental unit.
