I am traveling to Phuket at the end of June for 3-4 days. It will be my first time in Thailand so i'm figuring out where to stay. I've heard that Patong is the most popular beach and heavy tourist area with great night life but I'm looking for something less crowded but still accessible to the night life if we desired. I've heard that Kata or Karon are great areas to stay at as well. I am looking for a 4 or 5 star resort to stay at as well. Appreciate any tips or suggestions. It's a girls trip just to relax, shop and eat and do some site-seeing. If you guys have any site-seeting or activities to suggest that would help as well. I've heard that cooking classes can be really fun. Thanks all.

I am going to spend 5 days in Bangkok before continuing my trip to Phuket.
I am planning 1 one day tour to Ayutthaya, and also would like to visit Damnoen Saduak floating market.
I know it is touristic, but I have never seen anything like this.
What would be the best option:
-to make a one day trip from Bangkok
-or, go to Ratchaburi late evening, to sleep there, visit the market early morning, look around in Ratchabury (does it worh a visit? ) and continue my trip with a night train to Surat Thani?

By the way, which is better to Phuket: train and bus, or direct bus?

Thanks for any comments

i have recently been engaged in the thought of trekking to everest base camp. i have, however, no plan..excpt to book a flight to kathmandu and plan from there. i was wondering if this is do-able, especially at this time of year with the rainy season looming, and my arrival being around the 20th of may. i understand the trek to ebc takes about 17 days with a guided tour and can be fairly expensive.. is it possible to do a trek on my own or in a small group or with a private guide? andi what might that cost? i understand its possible to get all the gear i might need for under $200, but am unsure of total travelling time and cost of food and accomodation, and how the trip could be organized. its my birthday in a week and can think of no more beautiful way of spending it than on a trek to everest, any info is much appreciated! thanks :)

Hi Guys,

I am off to Phuket for 4 days by the first week of June. I see that Patong is where the night life is, and obviously more crowded. I was thinking of staying in Patong for couple of nights and couple of nights in Karon or Kata, so I can enjoy a bit of the beachlife too.

Could you recommend some places to stay in Patong, and also some in Karon or Kata?

I would also like to know if there are any places where I could do snorkelling, parasailing, etc near Karon or Kate?

Thanks
