Advice needed

Thinking to visit phuket for the first time next month. Appreciate everyone’ inputs on these: –

1. Where to stay (budget hotel)
2. What to do (is 3nights enough)

My interests are just relaxing by the beach (I dont know how to swim, I know! The irony of loving beaches), visiting places and eat out.

Is it safe for female solo travelers? After reading few comments on this subreddit, I might be keen on going to the bangla road just to see the environment, but will it be safe for me? People might mistaken me as the ‘local’ due to my skin complexion.

P/s : Ive been to bangkok last year and also did a short trip to Krabi 10 years ago. Ive covered phi phi island and maya bay (if i can recall).
