Is Rangyai Island for sale, and how much does it cost?
Rangyai Island is a 110 acres developed private island in Andaman Sea, off Phuket, Thailand. It is currently offered for sale: Price on application. Foreign ownership is restricted, so the ownership structure must be verified. This is an editorial profile drawn from public record, clearly attributed, not our listing.
Summary
Rangyai is the largest private island marketed near Phuket, at around 110 acres and only about twenty minutes from an international airport. It has been publicly listed for years — most prominently at a headline figure of US$160M — though live listings now generally say price on application.
Its combination of scale, access and existing income use is unusual for the region.
Land & Waterfront
White-sand beaches and lush tropical forest, with 360-degree views toward Phuket, Krabi and Phang Nga. The island has been worked commercially, carrying cultured-pearl farms and a coconut plantation alongside the beaches.
Access & Utilities
Access is by boat, roughly ten minutes from the nearest town and twenty from Phuket airport. Fresh water and generator power are in place, mobile signal reaches the island, and there are standing structures from its day-tourism era.
Ownership & Use
The island suits a resort or a large private estate, with existing tourism and agricultural income to build on. The central question is tenure: Thai restrictions on foreign land ownership mean the ownership structure must be established clearly before any figure is discussed.

From above: 2013 vs today
East of Phuket in Phang Nga Bay, Rang Yai's white beaches and forested interior make vegetation extent an easy variable to follow across frames. A time series would be worth checking for cleared building pads, new access tracks cut into the tree cover, or a jetty extended off the sheltered western beach. Because the island has changed hands and sat largely undeveloped, older signs of quarrying or day-visitor infrastructure may appear and then fade under regrowth.

Legal & Ownership Notes
Foreign freehold land ownership is generally restricted under Thai law, and is typically held through a long lease or a Thai-majority company. Public sources describe the tenure here inconsistently — one references Chanote titles, another leasehold — so the exact instrument must be confirmed on title before relying on it.
