In Reply to: info on accomodation in phuket posted by olli on Saturday, 1. December 2007 at 20:57 Bali Time:
We just had 6 nights in Phuket and 12 nights in Bali and I still prefer Bali. Stayed at the Holiday Inn in Patong and the resort is looking good after the total makeover. One thing I hated about Phuket was at the hotel all the sun loungers were bang up next to each other and the same on the beach. No privacy at all. I found the shopping was better in Bali and even though the Balinese try to rip you off the Thais were worse. I prefer the end of Patong where we stayed as this end seems quieter than the other end near Bangla Road.
