Phuket - High Season Hotel Recommendations
Patong Hemingway's Hotel
Patong Hemingway's is so close to famous Bangla road yet tucked away to a quiet spot. If you're finding Phuket accommodations... this is a superb choice. Not forgetting a rooftop pool.

Hemingway's Silk Hotel
Hemingway's Silk hotel is among the best Phuket hotels available for a clean room and location. A rooftop pool and bar is just right if the 5 minuite walk to Patong beach is not to your liking.

Phuket Hotels | Phuket Info
A Phuket hotel or resort is not an easy choice to make even though there is over a thousand of them. Reason is, everyone has their own needs and different locations on Phuket will give you a different holiday experience. We bring you a better idea on which ones are best and gives you a better idea on your choice.
Restaurants will feature great Thai cuisine but you probably will be able to find your own country's favorite dishes in many of the foreign restaurants and cafes on the island. The Phuket nightlife scene is spectacular and there's something for everybody.
There is far more to Phuket than nightlife though. A trip to Thailand would not be complete without at least one temple, or ‘wat’, visit. There are literally dozens of wats ranging from the small, inauspicious single buildings where the locals go to the much more impressive Wat Chalong and Wat Phra Thong, both of which date back to the 1700s. Wat Chalong is particularly photogenic and will be many peoples best opportunity for pictures.
This temple is dedicated to two highly revered monks, Luang Por Chang and Luang Por Gluam, whose statues are on display. Wat Phra Thong is home to one of the more interesting Buddha images on the island. Legend has it that the Buddha was found buried with only the top of its head showing, to which a small boy tied his buffalo. The boy fell sick, and his father went to find the place where the boy had been and found the Buddha buried there. The villagers dug up the Buddha, the boy recovered and the Buddha is on display in the Wat.
So, besides the beaches, do take time to visit the different Phuket attractions. You may just be surprised at what you can find.
