Which is better for a villa: Bang Tao, Layan, Surin or Kamala?

It depends on what you want around the house. Bang Tao suits a buyer who wants the long beach, Laguna Phuket and the shops and restaurants of Boat Avenue close by. Layan suits a buyer who wants a calmer beach beside a national park. Surin suits a buyer who wants a hillside villa or a branded residence over a small bay. Kamala suits a buyer who wants a sea-view home in a beach town calmer than Patong. The figures below show what each costs today. For a family choosing between Bang Tao and Layan, see Bang Tao or Layan for a family.
