Thara Patong Beach Hotel, Patong
Hi there.
Just coming back from Phuket. Since I was able to my research here, I want to give at least something back concerning hotel recommendations (wasnt mongering much and when I don't remember anymore
Despite former information here, Thara Patong obviously changed there policy. And is NOT GF anymore! The nightmanager on duty charged me 1, 000 BHT joiners fee and you will find the amount on your bill after checking out. "Extra person. " LOL. Doesn't bother me but just let you know.
And BTW: I would NOT book this hotel again. The futon style bed was definitely too hard (I am late 30ths) and the fan coil system / air condition is running such loud that you face a trade-off every night between well temperature and sound level.
Cheers
