Hello,
I think I can inform you, I have been living in Phuket for more than 3 years, it is really a heavenly place if you avoid large tourist areas like Patong.
To move, the easiest way is to have your own scooter, it's really cheap and you can move everywhere, you just have to pay attention to traffic.
Life in Phuket is very nice, there is a lot of expatriate so easy to make new friends.
Tell me more about your job offer, where it's located and I'll be happy to give you advice

 

Hello,
If you've already learned about the places where they live, it's already a big part of the job, trust me

This is not the funniest party, a lot of stress, lack of time, lots of papers to put together and a lot of questions in the head. But it's worth it
For my installation I contacted real estate agencies a little before leaving but the easiest way is to go to a hotel for a few days and visit the apartments on site through an agency. Generally find an apartment is done quite quickly.
We will take a beer and I will make you discover the city with pleasure when you will be installed
Keep me informed if you have other questions

 

My wife and I moved to Rawai, Phuket, in 2015.
We like southern Phuket and Rawai is the southernmost point.
One thing about Phuket - unless you are living near the mountains or in a condo on an upper floor, the municipal sewage situation is less than desirable and many if not most coastal areas are getting raw sewage entering the ocean. I know this is true in Rawai Beach. Fortunately, Nai Harn Beach is close and it is a tremendous beach for families and during the high season it can get quite crowded with tourists. During the rainy season, you might get 25-50 people on the beach depending on the day.
If you are renting or buying a condo, and do not have dogs (we have three), then Kata, Karon, Patong, Kamala, Rawai and Chalong have a lot to offer. You can rent houses too. PhuketRentHouse is a good site.

Phuket Town is very busy and you must take great care when using motor cycles there - it can be more challenging than Bangkok.

Rawai has a fairly decent night scene - we used to go to the Freedom Bar in Rawai which - not sure it still does - usually has very good live bands on Friday and/or Saturday nights.

Keep in mind that the west coast is a Tsunami zone. Even Rawai is in that zone, but there are several land barriers such as Prom Thep cape on the southwestern side of the beach and several islands that would help diminish a Tsunami and this is what happened during the last one several years ago - there was storm surge and flooding of buildings near the beach but nothing too serious.

Kata is an interesting town as is the village of Nai Harn which is part of Rawai. Nai Harn tends to be expensive for real estate because it is near Nai Harn Beach - considered to be the best beach in Phuket and one of the top beaches in Asia. Great surf, safe, life guards on duty, and some nice hotels and restaurants. Many Europeans vacation in Nai Harn.

Hope this helps.

 

For the moving process, I took a lot of time to find something correct, I had to contact a lot of agencies to understand their services and see if it suited my expectations because I have a lot of business sentimental values . In the end I went through an agency which I will not mention the name whose service was mediocre, really. But I have some friends that I met here who passed by an agency in Thailand in common , I'll have to ask them again and I'll let you know if it can help you

 

Hello,
I come back to you because I asked my friends by which company they had gone for their move and I managed to have a name
I do not know if you found something on your side but I leave you the link, if it can help you ::
