third time phuket in June
 

Hey guys,
so its our 3rd time to visit Phuket, we planned to go for a short break,
in our previous visit we stayed in patong area for half of the time and then the other half in a beach resort in mai khao.
this time we would prefer a hotel near patong and drive every morning to karon or kata to enjoy the beach but with a beach facility so we could enjoy the beach at mornings and party at night.Any hotel recommendations? 4 stars would suit us.

following is our itinerary:

5 nights near patong.
3 nights phi phi island
3 nights laguna phuket

your feedback is appreciated

we would rent a scooter to travel around as usual, we used the scooter to travel around phuket and have seen all the major tourist attractions. Big buddha, phuket town,phi phi, james bond. i would appreciate if you could recommend new places to see, or places to visit from phi phi island.

have you considered khao lak instead??

Rhkkmk---- never heard of it. Just googled it it looks like a nice place.is it a relaxed area? Are you suggesting it instead of phi phi and laguna?

This link will give you a reasonable idea...

Khao Lak covers quite a lot of coastline. Takes between 60 and 90 minutes from the Phuket Airport by taxi.

There's 2 main townships, Bang La On and Bang Niang, where you'll find most of the action. A lot of the bigger hotels are relatively remote, so personally I think it's much more convenient to be close to either of the towns.

Tbh I didn't rate the area that much, too many tourists and overpriced, but probably a bit better value than Phuket.

Much better weather on the gulf coast in June. Have you considered Koh Samui rather than Phuket? All the beaches and partying you could want with more sun and less rain.

Crellston--- i did consider it but i had to add up the cost of traveling from phuket to koh samui, in a previous visit we have been to samui and enjoyed it, we went mainly for the full moon party, but since the dates we r traveling there's not going to be a full moon party we decided to minimize our travels and stay in Phuket. if i had to book a flight i would probably go to see Angkor wat. but i will check agin and see if we can.

Anything interesting in krabi area? any islands worth visiting here? or is it just not worth it?

appreciate your comments and suggestions

Krabi is nice if you choose the right place. Lots of islands to choose from. The best resource I find is https://www.travelfish.org/islands which provides a pretty accurate description of the various islands, good and bad!
