phuket reccomendations
After 8 days travelling through cambodia and malaysia my trip completes with 3 days in or around phuket. I arrive by plane to HKT from Penang at 6pm on a Thursday and leave from phuket airport at 7am on the Sunday (first Sunday in December).
I'm looking to relax on beaches and have some nightlife. I will be with my girlfriend and we don't need a strip of 20 clubs to constitute nightlife. I'm looking for reccomendations of midrange hotels on or near nice (less touristy areas) or on nearby islands. If it was an island nearby I'd prefer to get there the same night I arrive in HKT rather than spend another couple of days moving from place to place, so there would have to be evening boat service. Also I need to be back to HKT for a 7am flight on Sunday so chances are I'd have to be near the airport Saturday night. All suggestions welcomed, thanks! |
For near the airport, check out Nai Yang. I originally went to stay one night after an evening flight arrival, and ended up staying their for three nights. Lovely beach, not crowded (and I was there peak season), a good selection of restaurants / bars along the beach (tables in the sand) and either part of or adjacent to a National Park. Accommodation wise I stayed at the Nai Yang Beach Resort, which is a simple bungalow outfit, but perfectly good when you're just sitting on the beach all day. There were hotel oiptions there too.

Although it didn't bother me, in October there was plentiful debris washed ashore...logs, seaweed, even some garbage. The locals said that it would be cleaned up in time for the high season. The local town is quaint, which I enjoyed. But don't expect nightlife here. You should pass groves of rubber trees enroute to Nai Yang Resort. I spoiled the Resort's resident cat w/ canned goods while I was there...please care for him! And as I have mentioned in another post, Nai Yang Beach is a stone's throw from the end of the runway if you head north far enough along the beach. Don't expect much of the national park; it's basically just some land with scattered trees, set aside so that it cannot be developed. ^ |
