I'm a bali lover but have been to Phuket also 3 times in the last 3 years staying at Patong (never again!), Karon Beach and Kata Beach. I used the Asia Forums, Cathy & Gary's Travel Pages and more frequently went on to Trip Advisor. Found it to be really helpful with "specific" type questions.
I really loved Kata Beach out of the 3 locations but each to their own. Whatever you do don't use the tuk tuks, use taxis instead - some horrible stories to be told and experienced!
Have fun anyway,. It is a totally different experience to Bali - Bali will always remain No. 1 for us but Thailand is a nice, different experience. We will certainly return.
