Hi , We did the same thing 2 years ago , just for a change from Bali. We stayed at a place called Thanthip hotel which was a little place right down the end of patong beach, very nice place to stay and quite cheap, plus a very nice restaraunt. As stated by a few people the sex trade is out there , but I found that when I had my wife and kids with me I was not approached at all, we had a good time in Phuket but would much prefer Bali , but you will never know unless you try it.
Thanthip hotel is pronounced tan tip, when we were first saying it everyone thought I had a lisp.
