Best areas to stay in phuket

Hello! I'm going to be in Phuket in a week, and am wondering where are the best areas of the island to stay? Walkability to beaches and other attractions is a key factor for us. Thank you!

Phuket Meetups?

Hi there,

I just got back to Phuket from China and am here for the winter. Looking to meet new people. Based in the south of the island but happy to drive.

Is anyone already organizing regular meetups in Phuket? If not, I'm happy to organize if people are interested?

Cheers.

Which bars are good?

Looking for a nice bar where you can sit down and relax with nice people and a drink. When does night life start on Phuket town?
