VIP Venus Karon in Karon, Phuket

The “from” price, completion date and status are shown in the card above. Below are the building, the area and questions for the manager.

About the project

VIP Venus Karon is being built by VIP Thailand Development Company. It is a small comfort-class project in Karon, a tourist area of Phuket. A night market with Thai street food is within walking distance. The number of apartments, the number of floors and the amenities are not given in the card, and a manager will send them with the presentation.

We have no verifiable data on the developer’s financial statements, so judge the building by the project documents: the construction permit, the right to the land and the reservation contract.

Location

Karon is on the south-west coast of Phuket, in Mueang Phuket district. The card does not give the distance from the building to the beach and to the market. Ask the manager how far it is on foot, and check the route on the map, taking into account the heat and the slope.

Knight Frank classes Karon among the tourist zones with strong rental demand in the high and low season. In 2025, according to the same report, Karon accounted for 17.9% of the island’s condos sold, second place after Bang Tao, and 21.1% of new condo launches.

Market prices

According to Knight Frank for 2025, the average asking price of a condo in Karon is $4,380 per sq m, and in 2024 the price in the zone rose by 3.5%. According to Thailand-Property listings in the Karon subdistrict on 6 October 2026, the median is $2,830 per sq m. The sources calculate differently, so the figures cannot be compared directly. These are asking prices, not sale prices.

Who it suits

A small building in a tourist area with a market nearby suits those who want to live among cafés and shops and not look for a car for every purchase. A small format can mean fewer residents and fewer common areas, so compare the amenities with larger projects among the new developments in Phuket. For letting, first find out the building’s rules: the 2004 Hotel Act requires a licence for lets shorter than a month, and the rules of many condos prohibit daily rentals.

What to check before reserving

Slope and landslides. On 23 August 2024 a landslide in Karon and Kata killed at least ten people. Ask about drainage, retaining walls and access to the building in the rainy season.

Night market and noise. The market nearby is convenient by day and can be a nuisance in the evening. Visit at different times of day.

Foreign quota. A foreigner registers a condo apartment in their own name as long as the foreign share does not exceed 49% of the building’s floor area.

Dates and fees. The date in the card is shown as of the day the catalogue was updated. Ask what stage construction is at, and the monthly fee.

Contract. Read the reservation contract in full before paying any money.

How to view

No commission for the buyer. We show the apartment by video and check the documents before the deal. You can compare the area with the south of the island on the Rawai page.
