Coolest Area And Hotel To Stay In Phuket

[Disco]

Hi All

Your advise please. I live in Samui but am currently working in Indonesia. My friends are coming to Thailand to visit me for New Year but we have decided that we should all go on holiday to Phuket.

Can you please advise where the coolest/trendiest place is to stay for 3 glam ladies?

Thanks v much

youd better get them in fast. most hotels have a minimum stay of at least 5 nights over that period. (the place i work at - baan yin dee - has a minimum stay of 7 nights)

bookings are filling up for all hotels so i would hurry up and make a decision before they miss out completely.

The most Uber-Trendy hotel that i Know of is the Twin Palms Hotel.

It's located in Surin beach has some cool architecture and a great restaurant.

Verry trendy and very hip.

And if you want to get into troubble Patong is just over the hill.

Advise that you look for deals on line as you will find better rates then going direct.

Two other considerations would be the Evason Phuket and the Mangosteen Resort

This ones real funky

and for sheer elegance and pampering you could always go to the Amanpuri

The Chedi or the J.W. Marriott

Big money for these places but sheer elegance.

Hi ozymandious

That’s brilliant thanks, just the kind of info I was looking for. Will check them out tonight and see what I can book.

Patong is where the action and big fireworks take place. It's something to see.

I'd say you'd want to be right smack dab in the middle of it all.

It's a little late to book now though. Most of the cool places will be booked.

What's the matter isn't there enough action or sophistication at Lamai Beach??
