Phuket North

The north of Phuket is where the island breathes. Mai Khao has the longest beach on the island and almost no development - it is a nesting ground for sea turtles and largely protected. Thalang sits inland with international schools, Thanyapura sports complex, and a growing residential community of expat families. The area suits long-term residents, families near schools, and travelers who want to be close to the airport without the noise. It is not a tourist hub and does not pretend to be. If you are relocating or looking at property for investment, the north is where value still exists.
