    Going to Phuket for a month

    I'm heading to Phuket, Thailand for a few weeks. If anyone could recommend a place to find a nice, cheap, 3 room apartment somewhere in Phuket.. that would be great.
    And also, please fill me in on the must sees and nightlife in the area.
    How's the weather like in April/May?

    Cheers!

          Are you sure you want to stay in the city of Phuket or on the island?

          We just got back from there.

                          weather there in april/may is pretty well

                          take a hotel just outside patong. it's much cheaper then in patong. My hotel was Ocean Resort about 10/15 min drive from the hotel to Patong beach

                          Ocean Resort: http://www.bmair.nl/Hotels/Thailand/...ean-Resort.htm

                          Dutch page but you can see some pics

                          If you want 1 awesome night go to Starwars in Patong Beach, cost 200 Bath entree ( around $6 ) but you get 2 free drinks with it. It's a strip/porn club

                          Have a good time !!!

                              Awesome, we spent the three weks together and not a computer in site, the only pictures we took were of ourselves. See attached







                              We rested a lot, did some scuba diving, Eva parasailed and we had a 3some or 4. Did a lot of shopping, don't take any clothes, and eat a lot of fish.

                                      Nothing, just that there are nicer places depends on what you want. We went to Kho Toa for diving.

                                          Yeah, that's true. How long you been there?

                                          Really, if you didn't saw the Phuket Fantasy show you missed a big thing

                                              Thanks for the link, looks pretty nice.. But I'm really looking for an apartment. I'll be there for a few weeks and I'll need some room to breathe.. and party!

                                              Just read about star wars.. Definitely going there

                                                  Cool, it's on a main street from the beach. Not sure how to explain but it's pretty easy to find.

                                                  And the new name: Star World

                                                          If you are visiting Phuket for the nightlife then the only place to stay is Patong Beach. For an apartment try here and for a hotel so close to the action you can open your window and shout for a girl try here . The apartment is a two minute tuk tuk ride from the action and I would advise pre-booking. The hotel is opposite the starwar/world disco and you would probably be better just turning up for a room (cheaper). The starwar/world disco is closed at the moment due to refurbishment.

                                                              Thanks for the links. Do you live there?

                                                              I wonder wether I can just go there without reservations, it's off season and I'm sure there are a lot of free rooms everywhere. I could probably get a good deal if I just show up there in person. What do you think?

                                                              What I'd really want is a 2-3 bedroom apartment on the beach somewhere within a 5-10 minute walk to Patong..

                                                                  I wonder wether I can just go there without reservations, it's off season and I'm sure there are a lot of free rooms everywhere. I could probably get a good deal if I just show up there in person. What do you think?

                                                                  What I'd really want is a 2-3 bedroom apartment on the beach somewhere within a 5-10 minute walk to Patong..
                                                                  For a hotel you should be able to turn up but for the apartment you should pre book because apartment style accommodation on Patong beach is rare.

I just have to admit that I'd hate staying in a hotel room for 30 days.. It would get kinda tight. The bungalows you mentioned sound pretty cool, but I couldn't find their website. Do you have a link?

I just have to admit that I'd hate staying in a hotel room for 30 days.. It would get kinda tight. The bungalows you mentioned sound pretty cool, but I couldn't find their website. Do you have a link?

Very simple furnishing will do.. Nothing too fancy. We're pretty flexible, flying in to Bangkok 04/15.. I guess we would book the bungalow in Phuket sometime around the 20th and stay for like 30 days.
