🌴 Bangtao 2025: Where Yield Meets Lifestyle

Bangtao is fast evolving into Phuket’s most desirable corridor — combining resort-style living, solid capital growth, and strong yields. Condos in the heart of Boat Avenue now offer 6–9% gross returns, while villas inland deliver prestige and higher nightly rates (฿8,000–฿25,000+ in peak season).

Lifestyle buyers will love the walkability, nearby schools, wellness hubs, and community vibe, while investors can lean into diversified rental streams — from short stays to seasonal tenancies.

But caveats remain: road congestion, foreign ownership limits, and short-term rental licensing are all details you can’t skip.
