It’s about 1 hour from airport by bus. The best place to stay for your first visit. But if you want a quiet secluded beach and privacy, Patong is out. You want somewhere like Mai Khao or Surin or Karon Beach. If you want a more local away from the tourists, you’re looking at Rawai Beach.
The most popular beach resort town in Phuket, with 3km long beach and an immense choice of hotels, restaurants and shops. But the water is brown every day. You must go to the island one-day trip that included pickup from your hotel. And catching the sunset in Patong Beach is a breathtaking sight to behold. As the sun dips below the horizon, the sky transforms into a stunning oranges.
