Anuban Phuket International Section.
Anuban Phuket is the province's oldest government school, and its international bilingual section gives Thai-foreign families an affordable entry point into structured English-medium education without the full cost of a private international school. The bilingual programme runs from preschool through primary level, with instruction split between Thai and English. For mixed-nationality households or long-term Thai residents, it represents the most cost-effective way to maintain bilingual fluency in early childhood.
Why Anuban Phuket (International Section) matters for buyers.
Mario tracks Anuban's bilingual section as relevant to a buyer profile that most premium brokers overlook: Thai-foreign couples, long-term Thailand residents, and second-home buyers who intend to stay part of the year with school-age children. This cohort buys in and around Phuket Town, Karon, and occasionally Rawai, where land and townhouse prices sit well below the Cherngtalay premium. Investors buying for rental yield in these areas find the tenant pool includes Thai-international families who use Anuban and have no need to pay BIS fees.

Almost every family I work with chooses the school before they choose the home. Anuban Phuket (International Section) is one of the schools that materially shapes the property decision in Phuket. Walking-distance buyers pay a clear premium, and the rental market in the catchment reflects it.
If Anuban Phuket (International Section) is on your short list, message me. I will tell you which areas give the best access, where the rental market actually sits, and which buildings are inside the realistic morning commute.
