I am in Patong in September for a week and wondering which one would be best to stay in as long as they are BG friendly. I know from other threads Thara Patong is , but what about the Patong Bay Garden, any ideas.

thank you

As my normal hotel "Impiana Phuket Cabana" is still under construction I am using Patong Bay Garden. Normally it is not guest friendly (staff said), but I asked before and booked a room for 2, so I have no problem. I booked a junior suite. Excellent big room with everything in it. On the beach, so no problems crossing the street, which I like. I am on the beach near my room. Very friendly staff. Only minus point is breakfast which is bellow average.

Captain, Fellow golfer I see, did you get charged any extra for bringing your clubs?

No. I allways fly Thai and am a Frequent Flyer. FF silver is 30kg and FF gold is 40 kg (in economy). I succeeded in obtaining gold status, so even in economy I have check at the business counter, 40 kg and access to the business lounge.
One time they told me to pay extra: on a trip to Dubai with Lufthansa. When I asked how much the answer was that I had only 16 kg of luggage and the rest was my golf bag, so they skipped it.

I stayed there a couple months ago too., It was awesome, Was told it was totally rebuilt. Real nice, paid only 1600 bht off the street. Best part is beach is right out side your room. Good restaurant on the beach too

Anyone know based on recent experience whether the Patong Beach Garden Resort charges a joiners fee. I've already made reservations so I'll deal with it, but would like to know for sure and, if they do, the procedure--check her ID card at a security desk or what?

Back 14 days. I did not pay joiner fee. Normally they ask (they tell me), but I book a room for 2 and tell them that I check out if I have to pay joiner. Makes no difference to them as I don't take the girl for breakfast. Girl's ID-card required at thr reception.
