me and 3 mates are going to head to Phuket for my bucks over the East weekend. In the past on similar holidays we've stayed in hotel villas with our own private pool and enjoyed them but we're doing this on more of a budget. I really have NFI about Phuket and wondering if anyone has any recommendations of places they've stayed near Patong?
We need 4 separate beds (not rooms), a private pool, a decent hang out area by the pool, near Patong, pref near the beach and about $250 a night max.
No help with Phuket but have you considered Pattaya?
Walking street area is just as much of a sh1thole as Patong but areas surrounding are less so.
I have a Private pool villa booked @ Jomtien Beach (about 2 klm away) that is costing around $70 a night
Have a look through here.
