Head of Sales · Phuket

SAM WEEKS

Sam Weeks, Head of Sales Phuket

Born in Plymouth on England's south-west coast and now living in Phuket, Sam knows the island like the back of his hand, from the Bang Tao beachfront to the quiet Layan headlands. That local knowledge, paired with a straight-talking British honesty, is what makes him the bridge between overseas buyers and the real Phuket market.

As Head of Sales he runs every Phuket enquiry personally, from the first message to keys in hand. He cuts through the noise, tells clients what a property is genuinely worth, and only puts forward the ones he would buy himself.
