Phuket has always attracted investors from all over the world, thanks to its developed tourism infrastructure and diverse economy. It’s no surprise that the island remains one of the most popular destinations in Southeast Asia, embodying the coveted tourism formula: pristine beaches, world-class resorts, and a vibrant local culture.
Development is rapidly accelerating. In addition to new luxury hotels, cafes, and restaurants, the government is actively expanding general island infrastructure. Strategic additions include the Robinson Lifestyle shopping center in the north and major recreational water parks.
Long-term infrastructure plans include the construction of a second international airport as well as an above-ground light-rail transit (LRT) metro system.
