Renting an Apartment in Phuket for a Year: How the Contract Works
A one-year rental contract for apartments in Phuket: how it differs from monthly booking, deposit and rate, based on Phuket Real 24 terms.
Renting an apartment in Phuket for a year is set up as a fixed-rate contract, not a chain of monthly bookings: the rate stays the same all year regardless of season. At Phuket Real 24, a one-year contract for a 1-bedroom Ocean view apartment, 40 sqm, costs 43,000 THB per month with a deposit of 2 monthly payments.
How does a one-year contract differ from monthly booking?
Direct answer: monthly booking means a seasonal rate charged separately for each month — higher in high season, lower in low season. A one-year contract is one fixed rate for the whole term. This suits people planning to live in Phuket continuously and want a predictable housing cost without recalculating by season. A full comparison of contract formats (year, winter, summer) is in long-term apartment rental in Phuket.
How much does a one-year contract cost?
Direct answer: the rate depends on the apartment category. Pool view 40 sqm is 37,000 THB per month, Ocean view 40 sqm is 43,000 THB, Family 2-bedroom 58 sqm is 77,500 THB, and Grande Luxury 2-bedroom 69 sqm is also 77,500 THB per month. This is a fixed amount for the whole year — it doesn’t rise in high season or drop in low season, unlike monthly booking.
What deposit is required for a one-year contract?
Direct answer: the deposit for a one-year contract is 2 monthly payments — more than the summer contract’s single payment, but the same as the winter contract (Nov 1 – Apr 30). This is a separate contract deposit, not the refundable deposit in Thai baht taken at check-in for regular stays — the difference is explained in security deposit in Phuket: what it is and when it’s returned.
What’s included in the price, and what’s billed separately?
Direct answer: the apartments come with a fully equipped kitchen, a washing machine, dedicated 300 Mbps internet, and TV with channels from over 100 countries — these are part of the living conditions, not an extra charge. Utilities — electricity and water — are billed separately by meter; a detailed breakdown is in utility bills in Phuket for long-term rentals.
Who is a one-year contract suitable for?
Direct answer: a one-year contract benefits those who are definitely staying in Phuket all year and don’t want their rate to depend on seasonal swings; those planning to stay only winter or only summer are better off with a seasonal contract — winter (Nov 1 – Apr 30) or summer (May 1 – Oct 31) — with a smaller deposit. The apartments are located in the Mida Grande Resort complex near Surin Beach, about 750 m from the water, with access to the whole complex infrastructure — pools, restaurant, gyms.
In short
A one-year contract in Phuket is a fixed rate for 12 months with a deposit of 2 payments; it pays off for year-round living, while a seasonal contract suits a seasonal stay better. For availability and contract questions, message Telegram @MidaGrandePhuket24.
