Phuket Travel Guide and Blog
The list of hotels in Phuket is staggering, considering the island’s modest size, which is 48 kilometres (30 mi) from north to south and 21 kilometres (13 mi) from west to east. The accommodation on the island comes in many ways, from hostels to homestays, private pool villas, to luxury resorts. Of course, prices range from a couple of hundred baht to jaw-dropping costs, but whatever you pay and wherever you stay in Thailand, it comes with Thai hospitality. The best way to enjoy a tropical holiday in Phuket is to stay in a hotel right on the beach, and if you can afford it, a private pool villa by the ocean!
