But apart from the low price, what are the pros and cons of staying at Villa Prana?
Firstly, the Pro’s:-
The villa is located in a quiet residential cul de sac in the Chalong area which is a very central location with easy access to a variety of beaches and other holiday attractions. See Location Map
Three of Phuket’s best beaches; Kata, Rawai and Nai Harn are approximately 10 minutes away by car. In fact, being so centrally located Villa Prana is approximately 10 minutes away from the majority of places that you might want to visit ! But as we can provide you with a car and driver for the entire length of your stay at a special low rate you will find that nowhere in Phuket will be inaccessible to you. And this includes many of Phuket’s more secluded and quieter beaches which are not so well known to most visitors.
While Chalong and adjacent Rawai are not main stream tourists areas they are very popular areas with Phuket’s large and ever growing expatriate community especially with the British and other Europeans as well as with Australians. The area is very well served by a wide variety of good and top quality restaurants in all price ranges as well as by pubs, wine merchants, bakeries, delis and high quality supermarkets that supply the expat crowd with all the comforts of home.
You will find that the Chalong and Rawai area offers far better value for money than ‘full on’ tourist locations in Phuket that cater almost exclusively to holidaymakers.
Even if you rent a villa in the heart of the busiest tourist centre you will still need transport to get around. “Tuk Tuk” taxis can be surprising expensive with fares for even short distances costing Baht 200-300 but with the actual price for each journey having to be negotiated with the driver. A far more relaxing, safer and hassle free option is to stay at Villa Prana and use our very economical Car and Driver service with prices from just Baht 1500 per day. Even with the Car and Driver option included, Villa Prana can be rented at a fraction of the cost of most villas that in reality are just a few minutes closer to the best beaches.
Chalong Bay is only 5 minutes away. This is the main embarkation point in Phuket for all kinds of marine activities including sailing charters, diving excursions, fishing trips and boat trips to nearby islands such as Phi-Phi.
If you love real Thai food and want to eat in the islands best Thai restaurants favored by locals and expats alike then there is no better place than Phuket Town, less than 10 kilometers away by car.
For golfers both the courses at Loch Palm and the Phuket Country Club are a 10-15 minute drive away. For serious shoppers, the island’s main mall is Central Festival which is less than 10 mins away from your pool villa Phuket. Other very nearby attractions include a shooting range, a zoo and a horse riding centre

The Cons:-
If you are more comfortable with the type of holiday where you stay right in the middle of a main and usually busy tourist area and want to spend your holiday almost exclusively with other tourists, eat in tourists restaurants, etc then a stay at Villa Prana probably will not be for you as we are offering a slightly different holiday experience with a slightly more local flavour.
As Phuket does not have a developed transport infrastructure you will certainly need your own transport but we do offer a car and driver to be at your disposal throughout your stay at a special rate. Or if you do not mind waiting for a taxi we loan you a mobile phone programed with the numbers of half a dozen taxi services. Alternatively you can hire a self drive car from around US$ 35.00 per day.
We honestly can’t think of any con’s concerning this delightful home itself except that as the swimming pool is in very close proximity to the house it is certainly not suitable for families with toddlers or with children that are unable to swim.
For smokers – sorry but we do not allow smoking in any of the villas rooms. Please smoke in the outside areas only.
For single sex party animal groups – this villa will not be for you and we will be pleased to recomend some alternative Phuket villas.
