Can anyone recommend a hotel in Phuket?

We're 3 students, looking to pay max €30 a night each, preferably only around €20 a night each.... We're looking for somewhere close to the beach, and also with good nightlife. We're arriving in early August... Any suggestions? We're Irish.

That's a very adequate budget for good hotels in Phuket. You can sort your options here when you have put in your dates.

Patong Beach is one of the nightlife areas , but i wouldn't get hung up on ny particular areas as accessability is no problem : http://www.cheaperthanhotels.com/Thailand/Phuket/Patong-Beach/

If you want to stay close to the nightlife, You'll probably want to stay on Patong Beach. That's the main tourist beach on the island of Phuket. It does have the dirtiest water of all the beaches on the island though.

Here's a link to Thaihotels.com.

You can find information and make a booking at practically every hotel on Phuket.

If you want to stay at a nicer beach, go to Kata or Karon. There will be shops and restaurants close by but you'll have to take a tuk-tuk into Patong for the nightlife.

You need to look for somewhere near to Patong Beach. That is where all the nightlife is as well as cheaper hotels.

Please be careful, though, when choosing a hotel. There are some dodgy ones there. Book through a reputable agency - there are plenty on the internet if you look properly. Check them out at tripadvisor.com or a similar website.

Patong beach and Karon beach suit you if you want to enjoy night life, there are lot of hotels for your budget

What else are you planning to share between the three of you?

I would like to go to Phuket Island, Thailand for 4-5 weeks with my boyfriend. How much money (£) will I need?

We obviously want to hire a motorbike, go diving etc. How much does food and hotels cost?

As you are staying for over a month, I'll recommend a holiday serviced apartment instead of a hotel room. Please see the estimated costs in British pound as follows:

Accommodation: There are 4 choices here, starting from 1,101.63 to 1,377.03 pounds/ month:

1. Ocean Breeze Resort & Apartment (Layan Beach) is 1,10.63 pound/ month http://www.phuketvillarentals.com/group_list.php?property=60&bed=1

2. Surin Springs Apartment (Surin Beach) is 1,101.63 pound/ month http://www.phuketvillarentals.com/group_list.php?property=36&bed=1

3. The Plantation (Kamala Beach) is 1,321.95 pound/ month http://www.phuketvillarentals.com/group_list.php?property=357&bed=1

4. Baan Chai Nam (Beachfront property on Bangtao Beach) is 1,377.03 pound/ month http://www.phuketvillarentals.com/group_list.php?property=51&bed=1

Motorbike Rental: an automatic Honda Click or Honda Airblade is charged 4.488 pounds per day, so 4.488 x 30 = 134.647 pounds per month.

Diving Tour: They charge on a rate-per-person- basis, it is 86.174 pounds per person per time. To get an exact number for two, you time 86.174 by 2 = 172.35 pounds per time.

Food: I assume you have food at one of those average international restaurant, so it normally costs you 4.48 pounds per person per meal. Per day, it costs 13.44 pounds per person, for a month, it is 403.20 pound per person per month. For both, it is 806.40

Total: 2,215.03 pounds

Check out tripadvisor for advice on what to see and do - also check out www.agoda.com for hotels.

I found of all the places I have been to in Thailand I least enjoyed Phuket as I found it overpriced and over rated. Stayed in Patong.

Ao Nang in Krabi is a far prettier place and easy acces to the Islands like PHI PHi and is far cheaper

Its sound like you want to do a lot so for 2 of you I would budget 5000Bht a day which is roughly 90 GBP.

Hotels are expensive in Phuket but you should be able to get something for 12 - 15 GPB a night.

After a 2 weeks in Phuket you will want to travel somewhere else so please check Ao Nang - you will not be disappointed

If you like Thai food then eat with the locals and you will save a fortune.

You can spend as little as 2 GBP but budget for 6GBP each a day.

1 pound is about 54 - 60 bahts. Food costs about 50 baht and hotel about 1,000 - 3,000 baht.

around 2 grand for a month if you don't go silly
