I've been there few times :innocent:

 

Patong Beach for the action :eyebrows:

 

Kata Beach or other beach areas south of Patong for quieter beach holidays :tumble: IMO

 

Plenty of hotels though... my advice would be to book a decent hotel for a couple of nights, hire a jeep or something, drive around the island until you find a particular resort/area that suits your taste. You can drive around the whole Phuket island in one day.

 

I can only comment on a couple of hotels:

Casaurina - small hotel with a few quite large rooms but haven't stayed there for few years, so might have aged a little.

 

Royal Paradise - Nice large hotel BUT do not stay there if you are slightly homophobic. The place is surrounded by gay (mostly German run :blink: ) and ladyboy bars.... you run the gauntlet every night when returning to the hotel after a few beers. Believe some of the these ladyboys are stunning. ;)

 

HTH

lol, ermmm I forgot to mention...use caution!!

 

Quick story:

 

Was walking the streets of Bangkok with my GF one evening and we passed a group of Thai blokes, they all shouted something across and made rude gestures, so I told them to get lost. We carried on walking until we got to a dead end (great I thought to myself, we have to walk back past those pricks!). So I said to my GF lets just pop in here for a drink first. We go in and order a couple of drinks and my GF is just smiling at me....so I eventually ask her what's so amusing, to which she replies, wow, you still haven't worked it out. So I look around and eventually realise we are in a gay bar. Then when we leave my GF says...not just a gay bar but a gay street and those guys were making those gestures at you, not me!!.....DOH!
