Is Surin good for investment and renting out?

Surin gives you ready apartments near the beach, with long-let asking rents from THB 20,000 a month. At The Aristo, about 30 m² asks THB 20,000 a month. At Palmyrah Surin Beach Residence, 40 m² asks THB 30,000 a month and 80 m² THB 45,000.

Take one building as an example. At Palmyrah, a 40 m² apartment asks THB 30,000 a month to rent, and a 39.2 m² one asks THB 3.99 million to buy. Twelve months of that rent is about 9% of that price, before costs, fees and empty months. The cost stack is in Rental yields in Phuket — what investors actually earn and Property management fees in Phuket — what to expect for short-term and long-term rental.

The high season, from November to April, is when the water is clearest. In the low season the sea can be rough.

What is Surin like to live in?

Surin is a small, quiet beach. Surin Beach is about 800 m of soft pale sand between Kamala Beach and Bang Tao Beach, backed by casuarina and coconut trees that give shade. In high season the water is deep turquoise and the swimming is excellent.

All beachfront restaurants and vendors were removed in 2016, and again in May 2025. The beach now looks natural, with no vendors, no beach massages and no beach clubs, although Catch Beach Club started the beach-club scene here before 2016.

Tukta, a restaurant built on the rocks, is still open, from 9:30 to 21:00, with a view from its upper floors. Two restaurants are in the MICHELIN Guide: The Smokaccia Laboratory, with Italian chef Luca Mascolo, sourdough and an 18-course modern menu, and Wagyu Steakhouse at Twinpalms Phuket Resort. The Plaza has three floors of house decor, paintings and clothing. Lemongrass sells spa products, and Ginger is a fashion shop from Chiang Mai.

Next door, Pansea Beach is open only to guests of The Surin and Amanpuri, and the public access to Laem Singh, a small bay, is closed. Hotels in Surin include Twinpalms, The Surin, Amanpuri and Outrigger Surin Beach Resort. Surin is in Choeng Thale, Thalang district, 23 km from Phuket International Airport and about 24 km from Phuket Town. For schools, see Phuket international schools and family districts guide.

What should I check before buying in Surin?

1. Freehold or leasehold. The same building can offer both, as at Palmyrah Surin Beach Residence and Mida Grande Resort. See Freehold vs leasehold property in Thailand — what's the difference and which to choose and Foreign property ownership in Thailand — what you can and cannot own.
2. Freehold condo for a foreigner. Check the foreign quota and the money transfer: The 49% foreign quota in Thai condos — how it actually works, FET — the bank paper that proves your condo money came from abroad.
3. Common-area fees and building rules. See Property management fees in Phuket — what to expect for short-term and long-term rental.
4. Short-term letting. See Short-term rental in Thailand — Hotel Act 2004 reality and Phuket enforcement.
