Hi bigbudgood
I am planning my first visit to phuket in August first week. I also checked all the web site and impressed by Salathai. Can you please give me some more infor about them.
Also what about these hotels.
my #1 choice. Baan Sukhothai hotel.
#2 Patong Cottage resort- 205/14 Nanai.
#3 Patong Resort 208 Raj-Uthit 200 Pee Road
# royal crown Hotel
Anyone stayed in these hotels and any experiences?
Are these hotels girl friendly?
Is these places are closer to all the actions and especially closer to MTB? Walking distance?
Please advise me.
thanks

I stayed at Baan Sukahothai in May. A good hotel, good staff and great location. But unfortunately not guest friendly, they charge 1000b and want them to leave by 7am.

hi mandarin.i have only ever stayed at salathai hotel once and never tryed any other hotels in patong but i was very impressed with the salathai.its only small hotel about 30 or 40 rooms,nice pool with jacuzzi.the rooms are only small but very clean and modern,private balcony,satalite tv,mini bar,nice bathroom.the resturant is very nice aswell and the staff are very friendly.the big plus point is that its guest friendly aswell so no charge for taking them cute thai girls back for the night,all they need is some id from the thai girl.its only 2 minutes from the beach and 5 minutes from bangla rd so your close to the action.

Patong Palace is now about 800 Baht, should still be between 800 and 1500 in November.
Leelavadee Boutique Resort is now 799 on latestays.com, presumably between 1200 and 1500 in November

mandarin if I was you i wouldnt stay at patong resort its a great hotel, clean and roomy but no atmosphere NO POOL BAR and no one in the pool for that matter, Ive been to patong 5 times in 5 years just got back on 18/6 and had a walk through the place it hasnt changed ,Depends on what your lookin for on your holiday I know what me and my mate were lookin for and the big hotels dont fit the bill..but hey thats just us we tend to stay at smaller cheaper places. ... but thats us we tend to sleep most days anyway catchya

Hiya!

Nice place to stay in Phuket ey?

Well, a few option come highly recommended - In Patong Deevana Resort & Spa in the new Spa Wing & Baan Thai (also in Patong) very nice but mayble a little over the budget in November.

Alternatively, check out Baan Krating Jungle Beach in Rawai in the south of Phuket. Beautiful area of Phuket but a little far from Patong Etc. It's a lovelt little boutique hotel with great service.

have a look at http:///www.differentasia.com

They have a pretty good description of the island and promote the islands luxury & boutique hotels, a couple perhaps within the budget. It's presented in a really nice way with independent reviews.

Hope this helps.

Recently stayed there for the first time......good value....close to the action....sometimes a little noisy around 4amish and no pool....would have no hesitation staying there again.
