Hi guys,

I'll be in Phuket from the 16-21 Dec, this year and am looking for some 2-3 star accommodation around Patong. I'll be with my wife and 4 yr old and 1 yr old daughters so need

a/c and a clean room. I'm trying to not spend more than 1500thb per night. We have a portable cot and the 4 yr old can sleep on the couch or in our bed. Please let me know if any of you guys have any suggestions and also please let me know if I'm being unrealistic as I haven't been to Phuket for 7 years. I'm also open to other beaches like Kata etc.

Cheers.

Lots of stuff. Use the sliding scale for stars and Baht. I found about 20 that fit your time frame and needs.

Some very low headline prices on that website. But I dug a bit deeper and most hotels add on surcharges for the 2 kids. But still possible for you budget. Best of luck. Please report back how you got on ...

agoda first price DOES NOT INCLUDE tax, You need click thru to reserve page

booking ,com does .....so check there first,

last year was the first year in a decade that one could still find rooms in Patong on Xmas day thru new years,

but still i suggest booking NOW

each hotel sets its own kids policy but usually a kid under 6 sleeping in existing beds can sleep free.

Try PS2. (northern part of Rat-t-thit road, east side of road)
Nice courtyard, old pool, but still a pool.

Not bad location (2 blocks to the beach, 6 to Bangla).
Great prices.
Not sure of air-con room prices, I used to stay in the fan rooms for less than 1,000 baht.

I always liked staying at the Bel-Aire in Patong,cheap and cheerful with big rooms and a very easy walk to Bangla and back home after.It's not the Ritz but after doing the rounds in Patong at many,many different places I've found it very hard to beat,it just does what it says on the tin!
(It has Tiki Hut bars in the courtyard outside for a cheeky final beer on the way home too!)

You could try a small clean fairly new boutique hotel just off the end of Rat-u-Thid road, called Patong V ([email protected]) and although it's away from Bangla, it's only a five minute walk to the beach and just a couple of minutes from the new night market, not to mention other amenities.

 

Most smaller places like this will be keen for custom, so give it a try.

I may be a skeptic, but if you book now at some 2 to 3 star for the very highest of high season in Patong, you may not have a reservation anymore when you show up, especially if they can get more money for the room... Good luck!

Do you really think a reputable hotel would cancel a firm boking ?  The key word is ... reputable. If you book through a major booking web site and don't get the room booked then there will be major consequences to the hotel by the booking companies.

"especially if they can get more money for the room" - I was thinking, "especially if they have gone broke and closed beforehand."

Thanks to all of you that have tried to help me out. Feel free to keep posting any places if you hear of anything. I'm also open to Kata and other beaches. Anyway I'll let you know what the result ends up being. Thanks again.

Just letting those who tried helping me that I've booked a studio apartment (The Deck) in Patong through Air BNB. It has ended up costing around $60 per night. I've never used Air BNB before so I hope all goes smoothly. Thanks again to all those who helped.

Of course, it's not like many businesses have closed, in recent times, around Patong, is it?

 

Last time I went there I was surprised at lots of new businesses, all the old ones were still open, and I coudnt get a room at my favorite guest house as it was booked out.

There are 56 pages on the "Patong is dead" thread that suggest the contrary.
