Trip Info For Phuket Trip

[Tippaporn]

I've got a request from a friend of mine to set up a Phuket trip for 4 days/3 nights during Sept. 24-28. He and his wife want to fly into BKK and then fly out to Phuket. Unfortunately, I'm out of the country and back in the U.S. for a few miserable months. So I can't do any of the leg work for him. Also, I'm not at all familiar with Phuket since I live in BKK and most of my travels are up country.

I'd like suggestions for places to stay. Low to mid budget. Preferably package deals with the flight included. I know his planned dates fall in the rainy season. What's the weather like in Phuket during the end of September? Is it worth going? Not that they're sun worshippers since they're both native Laotians.

Rain, shine, myself I'd still have a good time. But for others excessive rain might be too much of a dampener (excuse the pun).

Thanks!

Regarding the weather, I am quite new on Phuket but several long-time residents tell me that September can be *very* wet, especially if July and August are relatively dry like this year. General expectation is that the weather will not be good this Spetember/October.

If you PM/e-mail me I can give hotel rates and details for the place I work, a nice 3 1/2 star boutique hotel in Patong.
