I have done quite a lot of research, but I honestly can't seem to find many, or any places that are BG free. I realise that Phuket, and especially Patong are the BG capital...

For two weeks in Phuket, I will be training at one of their Muay Thai clubs, so this covers me for 2 weeks accomodation. I am looking for one week accomodation in Phuket before I go to Phi Phi.
The reason I came to this board is because after reading many posts I have heard from many seasoned travellers, with good information for my own travel.
I know that 95% of males mostly come for the BG experience or whatever, but it aint quite me.. I don't really believe in it as I am not quite comfortable with the STD/STI side of things.

I understand that I won't be able to go to an area that is completely BG free, and that Patong is the hip and happening place on Phuket, but are there places like night clubs or something that are mainly for tourists and not for picking up BG's?

As for the accomodation, I am going a little cheap as I personally will only want to spend around 500-600baht/night, I will be going with a friend and he will also pay the same. So a price range of 1000-1200baht/night for two people. The reason for being so cheap is that I will also be going to Chiang Mai, Krabi etc... and I am travelling the USA before coming to Thailand.

Lastly, can anyone tell me about the Full Moon party on Koh Panang? I have heard a lot about it, but I want to hear some personal experience.

EDIT: I thought of something else too... how long is the grace period in Thailand that you don't need a visa for? And how do you go about extending it?
