Where to Stay
Phuket comes with some exotic choices of accommodations, along with plush surroundings and spell binding landscapes around. In comparison to the other islands, the hotels might be slightly on the higher side, but they won't derail your plans to the island.
The best way to make a good choice is to select hotels between Phuket City and Phuket Islands, the latter being on a slightly higher side when it comes to cost. Here are a collection of hotels from Phuket City, that you can check out, although you can also look for the ones on the island.
