    Hello!!

    First trip to Thailand next February.

    Ill stay 7 nights in Phuket. A friend of mine highly recommended the Dusit thani hotel on Bang Tao Beach.

    Im looking for a : very clean beach where I can walk on white sand. Not too crowded and if possible not too far from restaurants (evening).

    Having this in mind would you recommend the Dusit Thani?

    If not, should I avoid Patong? How about Kara beach?

    I do not want to become a prisonneer in my hotel – I want to go out for dinner, nightlife and shopping(not be obliged to use a taxi 20 minutes each ride to go for dinner)

    THANKS

    If you enjoy the nightlight, Patong is certainly the place to be. Or even worth a trip for a night or two to check it out regardless of where you are staying in the area. It is usually very crowded here. The shopping here is pretty good. There are some nice hotels on the beach front with swimming pools.

    When we were there we rented motor bikes which was a good way to get around.

    I remember Kara beach as being much more quiet.

    Perhaps someone who has spent more time in this area can chime in….

    Regards,

    Dave
