🏠 Why’s Everyone So Hyped About Phuket Real Estate?

Ever wondered why Phuket keeps popping up as the place for real estate buzz?
Or why investors are piling in while others worry about overhyped markets?

Here’s the latest: Proud Real Estate, a massive player known for big projects like Hua Hin’s InterContinental, is diving into Phuket.

They’re not just dipping a toe—they’re going all-in.
The goal?
Turning part of Phuket into a world-class hotspot for tourism and living.

Why Phuket’s Market Is Hot

• Tourism Rebound: The island’s bouncing back fast, back to before Covid-19 time. It’s still one of the top destinations for travellers.

• Premium Developments: When brands like Proud jump in, it raises the bar—and property values.

• Lifestyle Magnet: Beaches, culture, and now… even fancier living spaces.

If you're an investor:
This could be your cue.
When big brands move in, smaller investors often ride the wave of rising demand.

If you're in Phuket already:
Expect major upgrades. From better infrastructure to premium tourism—it’s going to impact local life, big time.

If you're sceptical:
Fair enough. But remember, Proud’s not a company that bets small. When they step in, it’s calculated.

Watch Phuket closely—it’s not just a tourist spot anymore.
It’s turning into a global real estate play.

🎭 Simon Cabaret Phuket = A Form of Soft Power

The shows are more than just entertainment, it’s been around since 1991!
They’re a tourist magnet pulling in millions every year.

The facts:

• Packed venues, night after night.

• High-spending tourists looking for unique experiences.

• And not just ticket sales—think food, drinks, merch, and VIP extras.

One cabaret show is reported to rake in 200 million baht a year.
Let that sink in.

Why Tourists Love It

• Lively performances: Flashy costumes, high-energy acts.

• Culture + fun: A mix of Thai traditions and global appeal.

• Perfect for all ages: Families, couples, solo travellers—it works for everyone.

Phuket’s cabaret isn’t slowing down.

If anything, it’s evolving.

• New venues are popping up.

• Competition is getting fiercer.

• Tourists want bigger, better, bolder.

🚎 Electric Buses Are Changing Phuket—Cleaner Air, Less Traffic

Ever been stuck in Phuket traffic and thought,
“This can’t get worse, right?”

Well, there’s good news.
Phuket just rolled out electric buses, and they’re not messing around.

Phuket’s got two big problems:

1. Traffic jams that make you question your life choices.

2. Air pollution that’s slowly choking the island’s vibe.

The electric buses?
They’re here to tackle both.

The New Electric Buses:

• These buses are fully electric, so no fumes.

• They’ve got fixed routes connecting major spots like The Airport, Phuket Town and Patong.

• Tickets? Dirt cheap—just 15 baht.

Think about it:
Tourists and locals hopping on electric buses means fewer cars on the road.
Fewer cars = less pollution and less chaos.

What’s Next?

Phuket’s not stopping here.

They’re planning even more routes and tech upgrades.
And if this works, it could inspire other Thai cities to follow suit.

But for now, it’s all eyes on Phuket to see if these buses can deliver.
