single male coming to phuket for the first time

[thumbs up]

Go to Karon beach for a week. Best water and beach. Decent amount of nightlife. can always go to Patong as needed

Not very good advice, Karon is renowned to be one of the worst swimming beaches in phuket, the amount of deaths has been well documented.

Kata beach is much safer.

Wrong season pal. It's a great beach this time of year except for the black water klong at the North end.

Otherwise it's a great beach.

I thought the TAT were promoting that klong black water as being "Phuket therapeutic black water" and being good for the skin.

Karon is fine for couples but too quiet for single guys IMO, if if you do only want to have a few "quiet" drinks. On my first ever trip to LOS I was with my mates and we spent most nights having to commute up to Patong which is expensive if you're using Tuk tuks and don't want to risk killing yourself on s motorbike.

Paying is also well suited for access to some of the best beaches. Paradise beach is one of the best on the island and only s few minutes south of patong. Kamala & Leam Sing to the north as well as Karin, kata & kata noi if you want to go a little further south
