Firstly, sorry for posting something that has probably been asked a dozen times. But I can’t quite find the specific advise I’m looking for.
Myself and two friends are going to be in Phuket over new years to celebrate my 30th. I’m arriving a few days before them to train muay thai, but I’ve already got that part sorted.
I’m not quite sure which beach we should stay at out of Kamala, Karon, or Kata. We definitely don’t want to stay in Patong, we’re a bit old for the mental party scene.
We would like to stay somewhere that has a predominately mid 20s-early 30s crowd. Is lively but doesn’t Patong level busy.
Somewhere that has a nightlife but isn’t wall to wall clubs. The sort of place were we could have a drink with a nice view, and also go to a beach club some nights.
I’ve done some reading but a lot of the advice seems to contradict each other. I’ve seen some people say Kamala is the best place for this, other say Kamala or Kata.
I don’t think we will be spending much time on the actual local beach itself, but having a pretty beach as scenery would be a plus.
Location for day actives is less of a factor since we will probably be travelling about.
