Phuket North or South????
Posted: Tue May 13, 2008 06:07 PM UTC
I"m going to traveling through Thailand and Phuket and I was wondering, is it better to stay on the north side or south side of Phuket? I know the airport is located on the North side, but airport closeness really has no bearing on my plans.

The north is actually very quiet. The Marriott Resort is the best hotel in the area. The south has a few more hotels. The main areas for tourists are on the West side of the island such as Surin, Kamala, Patong, Karon etc. What do you want from your stay?

Please check my Phuket pages for some tips.

Regards

John

It all depends on what you want to do.

If you want nightlife, go south. If you want quiet beaches, go north. If you want scuba, go south; if you want golf, go north.

Tangomango's right. You need to tell us what kind of experience you are hoping to have on the island before we can provide guidance.
