Places that I stayed in Phuket

Amanta House

Amanta House located just within the walking distance to Phuket's famous Patong Beach.
It costs RM90/900 Baht per night, so it is very cheap. It is very clean and all the rooms custom painted with a strong Zen theme.

Romantic pink painted room

The rooms that I stayed in. All the rooms has their own different wall paint & deco.

I personally doesn't like it as it feels a bit more like a Taoist temple to me, but it is very clean and it is very near to the beach so we decided to stay here again when we return from Krabi Island. They offer free internet access, with a ethernet port & wifi installed in every room. They even have a pc on their lobby your its guest who wanted to go online but without a laptop on their own.

Clean toilets. Very important.

American Breakfast that comes together with the room rates. Taste pretty good too.

The street view from the room balcony.

Breakfast is provided, and the breakfast itself costs RM12/ 120 Baht so I would recommend to anyone who are looking for a place to stay in Patong Beach.


Tonsai Bay Resort, Krabi Island

Located 4 hours drive away from Patong Beach and a 15mins sea ride via longtail boat from Au Nang Beach, Tonsai Bay is one of the cheapest resort on Krabi Island.

Long Tail Boat taxi. The water level reaches to your waist before you can get into the boat.

Tonsai Bay Resort.

The beach at this resort is not that good. It filled with rocks and the beach are filled with dead fishes. I guess there are some fishermen boat which docks there in the morning and throw away all the smaller fish that they do not want there. However for about RM70/ 700 baht per night, the rooms are rather good and comfortable. Nice and spacious rooms. Only problem here that this place is mosquitoes infested!

Not much activities available here, save for some kayaks for rent and rock climbing. There is only one restaurant here, and we are stuck with it. Food are rather expensive for us, but the rooms comes with free American breakfast so we save some money on that side.

Rock hill next to the resort beer bar

The restaurant where we have all our meals. Faces the beach. It has the best view for lunch though.

One of the night the locals performed some fire dance, where they fling those flamed balls on strings around their body. It's more like a favorite past time to them rather than a performance for us.

Fire dance!

Do I recommend this place? Well, if you really like a quiet place with no distraction, or rock climbing, this resort is for you. Otherwise, save your money and stay in Patong Beach instead. Am rather tired now, else would write more. Hhhuuaarrgghhh........zzzzZZZZZZZZZ.....
