Just after some current info on Patong/Phuket. I know i can 'search' previous posts, but I just wanted some up-to-date info on Patong. Such as Boat Bar, Kiss, Galaxy bar/discos still open and busy? Much happening in the Paradise bars, any new or changes there?
Also, i have stayed at Connect, Rendezvous, Knuds Bar/Jochens in Paradise Complex and a place called Pimnarah Suites on Beach Rd with sea views on previous visits, but any other suggestions of accomodation in and around Paradise or near beachfront worth considering for a 3 night trip next month, have'nt visited Phuket for about a year and we fancy a trip there this time.
I usually hire a car from Nine Car Rental near the airport, last time was a Honda Jazz for about Bt1000 per day, which was great for zipping around the island, I usually always have a 4x4 when hiring, but the Honda was a nice change. Anyone have recent experiences with this or anyother car rental company in Phuket.
We plan to fly with Airasia or Nokair if they still serve Phuket in their schedules. Alternatively we could drive there and include some stops at places on the way we haven't visited before, I have driven as far as Hua-Hin from Ayutthaya which was an easy drive, but not sure if the drive as far as Phuket would be practical, anyone done this route by car?
Haven't seen too many reviews or info on Phuket/Patong recently, so hoping someone has had a recent visit there and can update.
