Do it when you arrive. You’ll get better price from local tourist stalls.

i would suggest Kata with older boys, but if you want a lot of bars and nightlife Patong beach is the place to be, only about 15 to 20 minutes away from Kata.

Idont think you need to hire a driver, just get a tuk tuk driver to drop you off at Jungceylon, all the shops and restaurants are within walking distance and the beach is only 5 minutes away, and then get a tuk tuk back to your destination, Jungceylon is a very big shopping mall with lots to do and see, hope this helps.

Yes we ate at promenade right on the beach front, so cheap we was eating Tbone steak from Australia prepaired as a meal cheaper than we can buy it raw in Australia. They also serve beer too. Many other restraunts and bht300. hour massages. We was having dinner at about 7pm as our free shuttle service from our condo ended about 8.30.

No, not blocked off at all. Very few hotels on the beach ...and none at the South end of the beach.

Насколько я помню, в районе "Банг-тао" есть "Матрёшка тур" с русскоговорящим персоналом, и ещё какой-то оператор (название не помню). Не переживайте, там полно русскоязычных компаний.

Even better phonetically, "Bang Tau" Tau as in saying towel. Bangtao is a great place to staycation; transport by taxi or tuk tuk is horrendously expensive in Phuket. Bangtao is about 25 minutes away from the main tourist area. If you hire a bike or car it is very cheap about BHT700 per day at the condo we was staying at.

Bonjour La plage n est pas profonde immediatement. Un adulte a pied sur 50 mètres environ. Bonnes vacances
