To get to Bangla, would we go back onto Rat u thit, or to the beach and along beach road and up, which is the quickest and shortest route. Any further info on the hotel apart from whats already on here would be most appreciated.

Hi Hoof
The shortcut you mention I would not try at night. If you face the Jintana Hotel by the gate, you will see a narrow path on your right. Follow that, past the back of where some local Thais are living it comes out through Sailor Bar on the Beach Rd. It takes about 5mins max from hotel to beach, its around 500yds Id guess.
But TBH you wouldn't do it at nightime. Too dark and I fancy plenty of vermin scurrying about
Its probably quicker to go that route to Bangla and along the beach rd, but after dark its Rat u Thit Rd for me every time. Only a couple of minutes longer
.
K&N is in Soi Jintana and its website is now up and running
KN Guest House, perfect comfort and location, Phuket Island
I can let you know more about the hotel after my first visit there in March/April
Edit Never was a route to Soi Eric, that was allegedly from Patong Villa, but I never found it 5555
