last 2 times I've stayed in Phuket I've stayed at Baipho and next door under the same ownership Bai-tong Hotels. Rooms are great, short walk to Bangla Rd and 5 minutes to Tootsies.

http://www.baipho.com/about.html

Prices are good at

Low Season for 1350 for Deluxe
                         1550 for Executive Deluxe
                          1800 for Studio,

have stayed in all 3 sizes and all great rooms, Great Staff and owner Rudy is a top fellow, take a water buffalo home and they wouldnt say a word

[Ivor Biggun]

I'm not surprised at those prices!!!

Got to Admit,
there are some bargins around patong now.
but for location,price you cant really beat The place to stay.
each room there beats all hotel rooms, and the suites are great value
just be quick to book around high season,
Tom who owns the place will also find you accomadation if he is booked up, now how's that for service

can any bms give me any advice on transport around phuket. I am going there next week for the first time , I have been to pattaya many times and think the baht bus system is a fantastic way to travel just hop on and hop off for 10 bht , does the same system opperate in Phuket ? or do you have to taxi everywhere

[Torurot]

There is a Taxi mafia operating in Patong.  They are all bastards and will take you not one metre for less than 80 Bhat.  M/C are not too bad.   There is currently no Bhat Bus system.    Depending on where you stay walking to most places is not too hard.   You can hire M/C or Scooters.

Are you just gonna be in and around Patong or travelling around. There are busses that go over the hill to Phuket Town and cost B20 each way, leaving every 20 minutes from the Beach Road, last one back from Phuket Town is 1800hrs. That will get you to Central Festival/Big C. If you're reasonably fit and don't mind walking most places in patong are walkable. Otherwise stick with M'Bike taxis

Walking to Tootsies from Summer Breeze would be easy in a european climate, but its so hot here now, i recommend a short motorbike taxi ride.

around 9pm would be a good time...

and Jim normally shows up between 9-10 pm...depending on if he has an "interwiev" before...

kiss them all from me....

Does anyone know whether any of the 'posh' villas or resorts around Surin/Patong/Kata that are actually LB friendly ?
or if we booked the suite/villas for 2 person stays ..they would have closed their eyes anyway?
