Hi, I'm looking for recommendations in terms of the different areas in Phuket. I'm planning a trip in early spring and I'm ideally looking for somewhere that's not party central and on the quieter side. Ideally though I don't want to be too isolated and would like somewhere thats fairly walkable in terms of reaching shops, restaurants etc.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys, we are going to Phuket for 4 days in mid-October.

We were planning to island hopping for a day. Could you suggest us which ones are the best? We would also like to do snorkelling if possible.

After our research, we were planning to AVOID Phi, Phi, Maya, James Bond and Hong.

What about the Similian or the Khai Islands?

Any island suggestions - where we can avoid crowds, enjoys serene blue waters with a view. Even the caves, look good.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Also, if you any additional information (about where to go snorkelling, other activities) and must -visits reccos for food (for vegetarians though)

I have been visiting phuket twice a year and every time i buy from a different store, 3 joints for 1000 baht , can i get recommendations about how to get it better , cheaper or is this is the regular price?

I know some hotels charge tourists to bring working girls to their room. Any nice hotels you recommend to avoid this? We will be in the patong area

My friends and I will be visiting Patong in Phuket in late September / early October. How bad of the weather can we expect? Also, is Patong "slow" during this time of the year as well or are there still alot of female "workers" ?

Hi going there for holidays, where can I buy affordable legal buds near the Location: Cherngtalay, Phuket.

also wanna try Sour Diesel, Moon Rocks, kinda special buds.

last time have bought at smokey monkey at Bangla street. But from looks of it, seems quite far from the location. So can suggest others.

thanks in advance

Hello, I’m a 27 year old Northern European relocating from Koh Samui to Phuket soon, I’ll be getting a one year rental contract but I’m so torn on where to live. My top areas now are Bang Tao or Kata/Karon. It’s got a beach resort feel to it without being too small or gets boring. It’s also within a pretty nice distance for when I want a night out in Patong which will definetly be every once in a while. I don’t mind short drives (I own a bike) and I like to train Muay Thai but I wouldn’t mind being able to go for morning walks to some breakfast spots and not have to drive everywhere.
I’d also like not to be surrounded only by concentrated foreign national groups (absolutely no hate btw)
Anybody recommend which area is better for livability ? And any specific condominiums I could have in mind?
