Coconut Village Resort Phuket
4.3/5478 Reviews
Patong Beach
It was a very nice resort! The only thing they didn't provide was toothpaste. (There's a 7/11 right outside so that problem was quickly solved). Location is super close to the beach, and right next to a market. There's western shops around and also super close to a travel/activities agency so we were able to go to the waterpark. Very nice hotel and quite quiet! The only downside was there was some drilling and renovation going on really early into super late in the night, it was quite annoying.
Panwa Sunset Beach Front
3.8/539 Reviews
Panwa Cape
This is a nice cheapish price hotel set within a condominium development about 50 metres back from the seafront in Panwa Bay. Rooms are clean and pretty well-maintained and the staff are super-helpful if you need any help (the first room I was in had an aircon fault and they changed me to another room without hesitation). Of course, this is Thailand so the beds were very hard - I actually travel in Asia with an airbed so no problem for me.... One thing to watch out for - which may already be corrected - is that when I tried to book a room through the web, at the last moment, a small info note saying ”no air conditioning” flashed up. This is not a part of the world where that would be a sensible option. Luckily, I have a friend who resides in the condo and she was able to clarify that all rooms do have aircon. Just to be safe, she booked for me so I wouldn't have to accept that condition. The hotel indicated it was an error for the ”no aircon” message to be displayed so you may not even see that. In the end, the only impact was that I had to pay cash on-site and probably paid a few dollars per night more than the web offer. But it was still great value - and there's an ATM just a few yards down the road. In terms of location, it's within a quite small development with lots of shops, a 7-11, tons of beachside stalls selling food and clothing, plenty of delicious dining options, Thai massage plus the inevitable (these days) **** shops. There's a small beach but if you want a nice swim, you'd be better off driving a km or so up the road. Almost no waves as it faces west. No rubbish on the beaches when I was there. There are lovely, and often gorgeous, sunsets over the bay and above the hills beyond. All in all, it's a really great place to stay so long as you have a strategy for getting from the airport (which is about 50 minutes away), and are looking for a base to explore from, rather than just stay put and veg. Unless you want to visit those aforementioned shops of course ;)
The Surin Phuket
4.6/5278 Reviews
Surin Beach
My wife and I have had the pleasure of visiting some of the best resorts in the world. But we have never had a better experience than our four days at the Surin! The location is everything as they say, situated on a private beach cove with white sand and turquoise blue water. The surf is consistent and on both ends of the cove are rocky outcroppings that create even more interest and vivid display of surf. The resort faces west and the sunsets are perfect. The resort amenities, rooms, service, food and drinks are all top-notch. Just can’t say enough about this property. It is not cheap, but as they say, you certainly get what you pay for here!
The Dorm Hostel
4.1/515 Reviews
Phuket Town

Good Nice Hotel
3.9/517 Reviews
Patong Beach
The most cost-effective hotel in Bangkok this time, more than 200 yuan, two bedrooms and a hall, very clean. There were food around, no breakfast ordered. 30 minutes from the night market, Simon Show, Jiangxi is cold, a little distance from Patong Beach. Luggage can be stored.

Chalong
Great place to stay. Staff Daniel and David were very helpful. We got to the villa late in the evening. Daniel came right away from the office and checked us in promptly and setup breakfast service for next day. ACs in all bedrooms and two of the rooms had the view of the Big Budda. Nice quiet neighborhood. Fans on the ground floor to circulate the air through the ground level. We had car so it was very easy to get around and only 5 min drive to beach. Very nice daily cleaned pool at the villa. Also we were allowed to used the infinity pool with a nice view of Kata area from top and gym at Kata hill’s other location within 5 min of the villa. Daily breakfast was delicious and made fresh infront of you the in the kitchen and cleaned up throughly after breakfast was done: very clean place and lots of space to move around inside for our family. included a washer right outside of the villa for private use . Master bedroom has a nice sit out place, can use some chairs and table. Private gated parking infront of the villa and plenaty of private safe parking outside as well. Very nice sit out space in front of the villa to eat meals and just hangout or work with nice table and chairs. Overall great stay. WiFi works well throughout the villa.

Phuket Transportation

Apart from what I've talked about above, here are some other ways to travel easily around Phuket island.

  • Local buses (Songthaews) connect Phuket Town to various beaches. These converted trucks operate from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with fares ranging from 20 to 40 THB ($0.60 to $1.20 USD) per trip. Songthaews are an economical way to travel but can be slow and less comfortable compared to other modes of transport.
  • Tuk-tuks are widely available across Phuket, especially in tourist areas. They operate 24/7, and fares start at around 200 THB ($6 USD) for short trips and can go up to 1000 THB ($30 USD) for longer distances. Tuk-tuks offer a convenient and quintessentially Thai travel experience, though they are more expensive compared to buses and fares should be negotiated in advance.

  • Motorbike rentals are a popular choice, with daily rates ranging from 200 to 400 THB ($6 to $12 USD). Renting a motorbike offers great flexibility and is cost-effective, especially for solo travelers. It is important to wear a helmet and have a valid license, as traffic police frequently check for compliance.
  • Boat services operate between Phuket and nearby islands such as Phi Phi, James Bond Island, and Coral Island. Prices vary depending on the destination and type of service (ferry, speedboat, or long-tail boat), typically ranging from 300 to 1500 THB ($9 to $45 USD) for a round trip. Boats are the only way to reach these islands.

Phuket Weather: What Every American Needs to Know

Phuket’s tropical weather is as consistent as your morning coffee—warm and humid year-round. Here’s a short guide to help you plan:

Dry Season (November to April):

This is Phuket’s peak season, aka the perfect escape from chilly American winters. Expect sunny skies, temperatures in the 80s (Fahrenheit), and calm seas ideal for snorkeling, diving, and lounging on the beach with zero guilt.

Rainy Season (May to October):

Don’t write this off! Sure, it rains, but it’s more like dramatic afternoon showers followed by clear skies. Temperatures still hover in the 80s, and the island is quieter, with lower prices and lush green landscapes. Just pack a light rain jacket and your sense of adventure.

Warm Tip: Phuket’s heat and humidity can feel intense, so stay hydrated and slap on sunscreen like it’s your new best friend. Whether it’s winter or summer back home, Phuket guarantees a warm welcome (literally).
