It s a difficult choice, for there are so many
places here, so many styles, and so many prices.
Thailand is famed for its hospitality. There are few places in the world
where a total stranger can arrive and immediately be made to feel as
comfortable as one does in this special kingdom.
This
Thai hospitality, as much as the beauty of many of Phuket’s resorts, is the
deciding advantage that elevates hotels here to elite, international levels.
But in the many web pages here we focus on locations, facilities and links
for over 200 accommodation establishments on this island. The hotel pages
are organised by beach or section of the island.
Standards (and prices)range from a few elite, 5-star resorts, through scores
of 3- and 4-star establishments, down to cheap bungalows at about US$15 per
night. A large number sit right on the beach or seashore, though in the more
popular beaches like Patong and Karon, which have the biggest oncentrations
of hotels, most are set back from the sand.
Resorts
are spread over the length (approx. 50 kilometres) and breadth (approx. 10
kilometres) of Phuket island, though the greatest number is scattered over
the string of beautiful beaches that line the island’s ocean-washed west
coast.
Choose your resort hotel by the beach:
One
mportant decision must be made before choosing a hotel - decide what kind of
beach you want to stay. Their ambience varies greatly, from the bustling
energy of the shopping, dining and entertainment centre at Patong to the
quiet get-aways found at the north and south ends of the island. To check
out the ambiance of the beaches, look up our beach-by-beach pages, complete
with many photos, in The Beaches. Every first-time visitor should first
decide which beach suits his/her needs.
