Why Retire in Rawai, Phuket?
Rawai is located at the southern tip of Phuket and is widely considered the expat and retiree capital of the island. It offers a relaxed, village-like atmosphere, lower cost of living compared to the west coast, and an incredible community of international retirees.
Cost of Living in Rawai
Retirees love Rawai because rent is generally more affordable. You can find modern pool villas or comfortable sea-view condos for much less than in Bang Tao or Surin. Eating at local seafood markets and Thai restaurants keeps daily expenses very low.
Healthcare and Infrastructure
While Rawai itself is more residential, well-equipped healthcare is just a short drive away in Chalong (Dibuk Hospital) or Phuket Town (Bangkok Hospital Phuket). There are numerous international clinics, pharmacies, and wellness centers directly in Rawai.
