Hello to all. Is there anyone that could give me a little help with a hotel guest house or home. I will be traveling to Thailand and onward to Phuket the beginning of December.  With me will be my Thai wife of 14 years (we have not been back to Thailand pre Covid). We will be going to Phuket along with her brother sister in law an two kids 5 and 7. The airfare for us seems reasonable. I have been to Phuket one time about 15 years ago. Can someone give me there secret place suggestion. I know I can go to hotels.com ect but if someone can lean me to a place that you think has good value and would meet our needs I would be great full. So I am looking for a place or 2 hotel rooms.  one room with two beds and a room with one. Close proximity to the beach , it does not need to be waterfront but at least a short walk to the beach. A nice pool and close proximity to local Thai food. We need the ability to access reasonable local Thai  food , this is a must maybe there is a street market near by ect. I just don’t want to be stranded in a fancy hotel that requires us to eat at the hotel or need transportation to go to a town.   Budget wise I am not really stuck on any price range the cheaper the better online I see hotel rooms that are very cheap but It is hard to know if they are good or bad probably under 3,000 baht per room is fine 1000 to 1500 is better. Thanks in advance.

1000? No. 1500? No.

But I find a few places near beach/centrally for under 3000 in the first week of December (used booking.com).

Pool makes the difference.

Of course expect prices rising the closer you come to X-mas/NYE.

 

I will not give any names as I stayed on Phuket only two times since 2017.

Around X-mas I stayed at a place about 300 m from north end of Patong beach for about 1000/night (with tiny pool). But that was before the opening of the country (during sandbox phase).

 

Hilton Garden Inn or Cassia -both  Bangtao and walk to beach and local restuarants.

Thanks for the replies.

I paid 500 baht large room near beach, no pool though.

 

No Im not telling. It was quiet. Will stay again.

Deevana plaza patong had a deal that I just booked. Standard room plus breakfast for 1680 baht per night. My family and I have stayed there many times and love it. The pool, location and breakfast are incredible. 

Well i think it all depends what your budget includes is it just you and your wife or, the whole extended family ? 

Thanks for the replies I will look at the suggestion posted above

The Windmill is a nice place, but hasn't yet reopened from Covid.

Walked past again this morning and the Windmill is still closed but it looks like the garden and parking areas have been cleaned up. Also, I just heard that they are looking for workers for a reopening. 

many hotels in that area you can choose from.

We just drove past the Windmill and it has reopened. Quiet neighborhood very close to Yanui beach.
