Hi Curly, welcome to the board, now we have to hope they will clear all the snow so you can get to the airport.
If you make it I know for sure you will have a great time in Patong, and if you have any problems finding a hotel, you should try the Phuket Palace Resort, friendly staff, great pool, very big nice rooms, and no charge if you bring a "guest" home.
