Our home is a 3 bedroom 3 bath condo (135 sqm) located on the southeastern side of the island of Phuket.
We have a large terrace (49 sqm) where you can enjoy the sunrise and the sea view every morning, and it is shaded in the afternoon so you can sit outside and just relax or read.

The space
The main area is an open floor plan which has the kitchen, dining area, and living room area. The living room opens out onto the terrace. There is a guest bathroom by the entrance, which has a shower.
There are 3 total bedrooms, but 2 are ensuite and have their own bathrooms.
The master bedroom has a King bed (6ft/182cm), and double sinks in the bathroom. There is a secondary master bedroom which also has a King bed. Both these bedrooms have their own direct access to the terrace. Finally, there is a smaller third bedroom with a Queen(5ft/152cm)bed.
There is a shared lap pool downstairs, and another smaller pool (with kiddie pool) upstairs. There is a small shared gym as well, all available for resident use.
Guest access
We are located on the top floor of the main building (Floor 5). There is a 10 cm step to enter the building from the Floor 1 parking area, and an elevator that will take you upstairs. There is one small step into the condo from the hall. The upstairs pool is on the Floor 6. The lap pool is located below Floor 1, at the front of the complex.
The complex is gated with 24 hour security.
Notes
Our home is in a quiet residential area of Phuket, and mostly Thais live in the Panwa area - there is a very limited amount of tourists. Panwa has a lot of local charm, but is also very convenient to Phuket Town and other touristy hot spots.
We have drinking water delivered weekly, and a housekeeper that comes once a week to clean.
Our condo is definitely not luxurious and is a typical condo, but we love it and hope you will enjoy your time here in phuket and feel at home😊
Possible use of car
And for diving enthusiasts, we have a wonderful neighbor that can get your diving trip organized!

Neighbourhood
The local supermarket (Supercheap)/ 7-11 /vegetable seller/drink shop/laundry/thai restaurants/fried chicken cart/one bar are all downstairs with a 1-10 min walk.
Our neighborhood is predominantly Muslim, so you can hear the beautiful calls to prayer everyday.
For more shopping or dining options, transportation is recommended.
Getting to my home
From Phuket Airport, I would recommend a van or hired car. Just FYI taxies AT THE AIRPORT will be expensive. Locals will generally walk out the airport to the main road and get a ride share driver or hired driver to meet there. It will probably take about 1 hr to get to Panwa and roughly 1000 baht. We are on the opposite side of the island from the airport. We have a couple of drivers we use and can give you their contact info before you arrive. One has a van in case you have a large party and/or lots of luggage.
Nearest airport
HKT - Phuket International Airport
Getting around
Ride share apps, rental car or scooter. Or even try Songthaeows! Barring short walks, I don't recommend extended walking due to the heat, and sidewalks do not exist on most if the island.
For most of Phuket, there is NO real public transportation available. We rely on the ride share apps Indrive (Bolt and Grab are pricier) here to get around. If you rent a scooter or car, you will be able to get around a whole lot easier. There is an on site parking lot but it is first come first serve. Car parking on the island in general may prove challenging depending on where you go.
PLEASE NOTE : Phuket police are cracking down on unlicensed scooter drivers (you must have a motorcycle license from your home country) in various police checkpoints on the island. You WILL BE FINED if caught.
For now, we have not seen them in the Panwa area.
Phuket drivers are a bit crazy, so unless you are familiar driving in Asian countries or driving on the left side, please be very careful. Limited use of our car may be possible.
