The culture
Phuket is a refreshing mix of cultures that you can immerse yourself in while on the island. As well as the Thai culture which is so welcoming and warm by itself, you also have a strong Sino-Portuguese influence which is felt heavily here. It is also expressed through the architecture you can enjoy as you wander around various areas of the island.
The cuisine
Thai food is widely agreed upon to be one of the best types of food in the world, and Phuket in particular is known for its mastery of the cuisine. You can also find dishes from many other countries on the island which can make a nice break and entice you to rent your property out for longer.
The nightlife
The nightlife in Phuket is more or less unrivalled in all of Thailand, or at least outside of Bangkok. And Bangkok doesn’t have beach bars and the option of watching the sunset over the sand. Many people choose to head to Phuket for the lively music, bars, and all the excitement you can enjoy on a night out.
You can take in a show, hear a band play or even watch a sporting match all in a bar. Phuket is known for its devotion to Muay Thai and that is one of the most popular forms of entertainment on the island.
What makes Phuket a Muay Thai Haven?
Pretty much all of Thailand watches, supports and engages in the sport of Muay Thai, and Phuket is no exception. What truly makes the island such a haven is the density of foreign fighters as well as locals, and the number of high-quality gyms. Anyone looking to take up the sport or even just watch a top competition should be looking at condos for rent in Phuket.
Phuket offers Muay Thai training programs, where you can learn the sport, increase your fitness, and indulge in all that the island has to offer at the same time. You can find some of the best Muay Thai gyms here, including world-class facilities for professionals and amateurs to enjoy.
A hugely popular destination for participants and viewers of the sport alike, Phuket is a true Muay Thai Haven in a tropical paradise.
So, why should you rent property in Phuket?
