I would get off Phuket and head north on the Mainland to Khao Lak.

I was going to look for recommendations on Flyertalk.
I'm not a beach person and I have only been to Phuket once, long ago, but I hear the mainland has the quiet beaches, north of Phuket.

Till now, I have heard that Phuket has beautiful beaches but I knew Khao Lak also has good beaches.

I've stayed at the Hilton on Phuket in the Kata/Karon Beach area three times now and love it. It's far from Patong but there's enough close by that I can walk there. I did look at the JW Marriott in Khao Lak once and thought that it was a bit remote for my taste.
