How to Rent an Apartment in Phuket: Steps from Inquiry to Check-In
A step-by-step look at renting an apartment in Phuket: choosing dates and category, prepayment, confirmation, check-in with a deposit — based on Phuket Real 24 terms at the Mida Grande Resort complex.
Renting an apartment in Phuket means choosing dates and a category, agreeing terms with a management company or agency, paying a prepayment, and then paying a refundable deposit on arrival. At Phuket Real 24 that means 14 apartments in the Mida Grande Resort complex on Surin: prepayment from 10% of the booking total, and a check-in deposit of 5,000 or 10,000 THB depending on category.
The steps of renting an apartment
- Choose dates and category. Apartments range from 40 to 69 m², with one or two bedrooms, and either a pool or a sea view.
- Send an inquiry to the management company. State your dates, number of guests, and preferred category, and get back availability and the exact total.
- Pay the prepayment. This secures the booking — without it, dates aren’t held.
- Get confirmation. You receive the exact address, apartment number, and check-in instructions.
- Check in and pay the deposit. The refundable deposit is paid on site; check-in is from 14:30.
- Stay and extra costs. Utilities and cleaning (if requested) are billed separately, as used.
- Check out and get the deposit back. Check-out is by 11:00; the deposit is refunded if there’s no damage.

How much to pay before and after arrival
Prepayment is 10% of the booking total, rising to 50% in high season (20 Dec – 10 Mar). The refundable check-in deposit is 5,000 THB for a 1-bedroom apartment and 10,000 THB for a 2-bedroom one, returned at check-out.
Stays of 10+ nights get a 5% discount, 14+ nights get 10%, 22+ get 15%, and 28+ get 25%; stays of 30 nights or more switch to the monthly rate instead of the nightly one. Prices start from 990 THB per night and 22,500 THB per month — the exact total depends on category and season, broken down in Phuket apartment rent 2026: monthly prices by category.
Payment methods
We accept cash in Thai baht, bank transfer of baht to a Thai card, rubles to a Russian card, tenge/EUR/USD to a Kazakhstan card, cash in EUR and USD, and USDT. For guests from Russia and Kazakhstan this usually removes the main concern around international transfers.
What to check before you pay
- Distance to the beach, as a number, not “nearby.” Ours is about 750 m from Surin Beach, a 12–15 minute walk.
- Whether utilities are included: ours aren’t — they’re metered, roughly 80 THB a day for a 1-bedroom and 120 THB for a 2-bedroom.
- Whether cleaning is included: ours is on request, billed separately.
- Whether the kitchen and washing machine are real, not a kettle and a hot plate — both matter for longer stays, and both are standard in our apartments.

A couple, or a couple with a child, fits comfortably into a 1-bedroom apartment — Deluxe Ocean View 40 m² or Deluxe Pool View 40 m². A family or two couples traveling together fit a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout, such as Grande Luxury 2 Bedroom 69 m². Browse the full range in the apartments catalog.
