Welcome to the Architect Phuket blog! I’m Nay, your local Thai architect, and this is your step-by-step guide to creating a home in Phuket—from picking the perfect spot to living in it happily ever after. Whether you’re looking for a tropical retreat or a forever home, I’ll walk you through the full journey, laid out clear and simple.
We’ll be exploring Phuket’s diverse areas—like Patong for vibrant energy or Rawai—so you can find where your ideal home fits. Then we’ll dive into finding a plot, understanding Phuket’s wild climate, choosing materials that work, tapping local skills, navigating the rules, and building something brilliant. Expect tips on design, construction, law, utilities, landscaping, and more.
Here’s my promise—I’m 100% independent. No company backing, no sales pitches, no hidden agendas. Just a busy architect sharing what I know, free for you. Why? Because I love seeing homes rise in Phuket that are gorgeous, modern, and smart—built to dance with the island’s nature, not wrestle it. You can’t fight Phuket’s climate—it’s too mighty. Copy a villa from back home or even Bali, and you’ll learn the hard way: what works elsewhere often fails here. Phuket’s extremes demand respect, and local ways endure for a reason. I’ll show you how to build in harmony, not heartbreak.
Ready to get it right with a Thai architect’s insider take? Follow along for more! Whether you’re in Kata or Kamala, I’m excited to guide you through building your dream home in Phuket.
I’ll be sharing more in my videos further down the line —stay tuned!
