About Phuket Community
Your insider guide to Phuket — events, food & expat life every Friday
Why We Exist
Phuket Community helps people live smarter, more connected lives on the island of Phuket, Thailand.
Whether you're moving here, staying long-term, or just visiting, we provide local, trustworthy information that helps you avoid tourist traps and experience the island like a local.
Our goal is simple: save you time, money, and energy by showing what's genuinely worth your attention in Phuket.
What is Phuket Community?
Founded in 2022, Phuket Community started as a local printed map for Rawai and Naiharn, distributing just 2,000 copies.
Today, we've grown into a multi-channel local media network that connects residents, expats, and visitors across the island through maps, magazines, and digital content.
We serve as a trusted local information hub, combining print, digital, and community insights.
What We Do
🗺 Phuket South Local Map
Our original publication — the "OG." Distributed monthly (3,000 copies across 100+ local businesses), it highlights the best restaurants, cafes, gyms, and services in Rawai and Naiharn.
📰 Phuket Community Magazine
A quarterly lifestyle magazine featuring real stories from real expats, local interviews, and practical insights about island life.
🌐 PhuketCommunity.com & Weekly Newsletter
Your online guide to events, local updates, and insider tips — helping both newcomers and long-timers stay connected with what's happening across Phuket.
📍 Expanding Local Maps
We're growing beyond the south! New editions covering Kata, Karon, Bangtao, Patong, Phuket Town, and Kamala are launching throughout 2025.
Our Mission
To make Phuket living transparent, authentic, and community-driven.
We uncover hidden gems, promote ethical local businesses, and share honest, experience-based insights — not paid "best of" lists.
We believe good information builds better communities.
If that sounds like your kind of thing, subscribe and be part of the movement.
