Alternatively, would Phuket Town be an overall better choice? I just basically want plenty of restaurants and other necessities without masses of drunken idiots (Patong), and a nice place with a decent view.
And sorry, I know it's been discussed, but when I search the thread I can't jump to the posts I get as results.
As far as restaurants go, Phuket Town is very similar to Kata/Karon/Patong.
Pros of PTown:
- Better accessability to malls
- Better nightlife
- Hotter girls
- Less annoying tourists
- Very thai feel to the city
- Cheaper apt rentals
Cons of Ptown:
- ~20 - 30 minutes to a nice beach and nai harn jungle and other 2p2ers
I lived in both Kata and Phuket Town. Both were good. If I went back to Phuket today, I'd probably choose to live in Phuket Town.
