Where would you choose to live in Phuket?
I know this has been done to death, but im doing it anyway. Things change.
Im currently renting in Kamala Beach with about 5 months left on the lease.
I want to pull the trigger purchasing a house, taking advantage of the covid apocalypse happening on the island, but I can not for the life of me decide which area.
Im really leaning towards Rawai, but being centrally located between Yanui, Nai Harn, and Rawai Beaches. I want to be less than 1500 meters from the beach and dont want to have to get on any main roads to get there so I can take the kiddo to the beach everyday safely via sidecar (dont want to get my truck all sandy and fucked up, plus she loves it) and not alot of tourists. Expat area. Etc. Rawai seems to fit the bill rather well.
But at the same time, that area is pretty far south and away from the better private schools. In that regard, Chalong, or even Kamala makes more sense, but those areas dont really do it for me.
Any phuket residents have any thoughts? Even if you dont have kids, where would you put down roots in 2021.
