Bangtao Modern and Bright Pool Villa

Bangtao Modern and Bright Pool Villa

5/56 Reviews
Bang Tao Beach
Bangtao Beach Modern Wind Pool Villa, great experience! This trip to Phuket chose the modern wind pool villa at Bangtao Beach, it is so wise! The Thai butler service is super intimate and responsive. Any problem can be solved quickly, so that our vacation has no worries. The villa is very new and well equipped. The pool is awesome, the moment you turn on the lights, it is beautiful, and there is a massage function. It is very comfortable to open the massage when you are tired. The four bedrooms are equipped with separate bathrooms, and the living room has a separate guest bathroom. It is too convenient for many people to travel, and there will be no trouble in use at all. The combination of washing machine and dryer is also great. The clothes after drying are not wrinkled and can be worn directly. The ice making function of the refrigerator adds a lot of coolness and convenience to the tropical holiday. The air conditioner is quickly cooled and can be felt as soon as you enter the room. Every detail of the villa shows the quality and comfort, and every day spent here is relaxed and enjoyable. Highly recommended to friends who come to Phuket to travel and want to enjoy a high-quality accommodation experience!

Poor wifi and the staff tried hardly to find any small things in the room to charge for additional cleaning fee. Very unfair and not service oriented. Wouldn’t come back. There are many other options around

We booked this hotel for a no-frills overnighter as we will be arriving late and checking into a nearby resort the next few days. Hard to locate as it was in a dark corner and not well lit. We managed to locate second time around. Check-in was a hassle as the front desk guy could not speak much English but relied on Google translate. He even read from a prepared note to asking us if we want to move to a lake view room as the booked room was facing the main road and noisy. We took the option thus giving up the included breakfast. It was raining overnight so we had no idea what lake view was. Room was big, comfortable but dated and has one of the best firm mattress we experienced so far. Aircon took a long time to cool the room but everything worked. Issue was the noise from the distant disco continued till 4:30am and kept me awake all night. In the morning it was still raining but we woke up to marvellous view. When we checked out there was not much of breakfast seen but more of a made to order set thus limited variety. Do be aware there are only space for 4 cars onsite if you are driving with more further away within 5-minutes walk which is also where youll find food, grocery shop and the Boat Avenue Friday Night Market. Convenient and good location for the small hotel, and cheap too.

Hard to find from the street and it gave a false negative feeling - but it is a gem! As soon as you enter the area of the hotel it is clean and chic! The staff is welcoming and made sure we got started immediately. While packing up they knocked the door and served fresh coconuts on the porch. The breakfast was served on the roof terrace and contained omelette and fresh fruits and pastries. Momento surprised us over and over again in positive notes. Chill, cozy and clean!

This hostel is just like at the pictures, very well cared, clean and comfortable. It is just three minutes from the beach and many restaurants to choose around. The market is about five minutes with motorcycle (or so I felt). The staff is very nice, specially Khemchira who was always smiley and ready to share any recommendation. The rooms are really clean, aircon, lockers (don't forget to bring your own lock), the curtains around the bet make you feel you have your own corner. The beds and the pillows are super comfortable. They have a common area with a fridge that you can use and also a microwave if you want to heat up something. Oh! and if you get the public bus from Phuket airport for 170,- thb you just tell the driver where you go and he will stop at the main road by 7 eleven. From there is about 10-15 minutes walk to the hostel.
Gold Chariot Pool Villa, Phuket

Gold Chariot Pool Villa, Phuket

4.9/55 Reviews
Bang Tao Beach
We are on our last full day here and we have to say its the best villa we've stayed in. Four large ensuite bedrooms, all with new bathtubs and large rainfall showers and even a fifth toilet to use without going into the bedrooms. The pool is a large infinity pool with an outdoor shower and while I am outside there is a large covered 6seater seating area with an overhead fan and a covered outdoor dining area with another overhead fan, also if you fancied sitting in the pool and watching TV, there is an outdoor 55 inch smart TV. In every bedroom there are smart tvs and a curved smart TV in the open plan lounge, 6 TV in total. The kitchen is fully fitted with a 4 burner hob and a full size oven, along with pots and pans, toaster,kettle,rice cooker, brand new full size fridge freezer and built in extraction hood. Wasing side, there is a self contained laundry room with a new washing machine ,ironing board and iron, washing baskets ,clothes rail etc. We've been Washing as we go along and virtually all our clothes will be clean again for when we get home. Safety boxes in every room an island and breakfast bar in the kitchen. Air conditioning in every room and it runs so quiet and also large ceiling fans in the high ceilings if you don't want ac on. There is a villa manager how can arrange trips and anything you need for your stay and a cleaning team came in everyday and changed the towels etc and replenished the water. I've probably missed some bits off but I'd just say you won't be disappointed with your stay. Shops for your daily groceries are a minute walk away and a 7/11 is a little further. Fresh meat, veg ,fruit and fish is about a 10 minute stroll. If anyone wants more info I'd be happy to help Simon.

Phuket Bang Tao Beach Hotel Guide

A first-time guide to Phuket: Things to Do, Transport & Tips

Phuket, Thailand's largest island, it’s a haven for all kinds of things to do. Patong Beach is the place to go for lively nightlife and water sports like jet skiing, while Kata Beach is a quieter spot, perfect for families and snorkeling. Karon and Kamala beaches are great for those looking to relax and enjoy the sea without the crowds.

There’s much to love about Phuket beyond its beautiful beaches. The island’s Old Town is full of colorful buildings that take you back to the days of tin barons, with markets and street food stalls. You can wander around the old town, enjoy fresh street food, or take a hike through the hills and waterfalls.😉

Getting To & Around Phuket

Though Phuket is an island, getting here is surprisingly easy. With direct flights from major cities around the world, you'll land at Phuket International Airport (HKT) in no time.

Located in the island’s northern part, it's Thailand's second busiest airport, offering frequent flights from Bangkok and direct connections to Asia, the Middle East, India, and Australia. You can also catch seasonal charter flights from Europe. The airport has two terminals: Terminal 1 for international flights and Terminal 2 for domestic and charter airlines, both linked by a convenient air-conditioned walkway.

Phuket International Airport is about 32 km (20 miles) from popular destinations like Patong and Phuket Town.

  • To get to these areas, you can take the Phuket Smart Bus (100 baht, approx. $3), which runs from the airport to the west coast beaches.
  • Alternatively, you can use a municipal airport bus (100 baht, approx. $3) to Phuket Town, or a minibus, which offers door-to-door service and is faster, though prices may vary.
  • Metered taxis (500 baht, approx. $15) and limousine taxis (more expensive) are also available directly at the airport.

For more flexibility, you can rent a motorbike (300 baht/day, approx. $9) or a car (600 baht/day, approx. $18). For island-hopping, boat rentals are available at varying prices depending on the type and duration.

Where to Stay in Phuket

Where to Stay in Phuket🌴

Patong Beach: Phuket's most famous stretch of sand! 3km of beach with jet-skis, parasailing, and beach chairs everywhere. The water's not the clearest but the vibe is unbeatable. Behind the beach, Bangla Road comes alive at night with bars and clubs. Great street food at Malin Plaza night market, and Jungceylon mall for shopping and air-con breaks. Perfect for first-timers who want action!

Kata Beach: My favorite all-rounder! Crystal clear water (amazing for snorkeling around the rocks), surfing waves from May-October, and the most gorgeous sunset views. More chilled than Patong but still plenty happening. Don't miss the viewpoint at Kata Noi - you can see all three bays! Lots of great Thai restaurants and beach bars without the crazy prices.

Nai Harn Beach: The local's secret! Stunning blue water and the island's best snorkeling spot (tons of fish around the rocky ends). Great for sailing - you can rent small catamarans right on the beach. The hills around here are gorgeous for sunset walks, and there's an amazing fresh seafood market nearby where locals eat. Way quieter than the north beaches.

Surin Beach: The fancy one! Super clear water, perfect for swimming, with million-dollar villas dotting the hills. Famous for beach clubs (check out Catch!) and high-end seafood restaurants. Great spot for stand-up paddleboarding when the sea's calm. Close to Boat Avenue for boutique shopping and cute cafes.

Top Things to Do in Phuket

Top Things to Do in Phuket

  • Patong Beach You can jump into some parasailing or jet-skiing if you want that thrill, or just chill with a cold beer while you watch the sunset. If you’re feeling bold, head over to the Bangla Road area, where the nightlife comes at you like a truck—bars, clubs, you name it.
  • Phuket Old Town While the beaches might steal the show, don’t sleep on Phuket Old Town. Walking through the streets here feels like stepping into another era with its Sino-Portuguese architecture, colorful buildings, and amazing street art. Make sure to stop by the local cafes and check out the unique markets for some quirky souvenirs.
Top Things to Do in Phuket
  • Racha Yai Island If you’re all about diving or snorkeling, Racha Yai Island is your ideal place. Seriously, this place has some of the clearest water I've ever seen. The coral reefs are pretty rad, and there's a ton of marine life swimming around. Take a speedboat out, grab your gear, and let the island's beauty do the rest.
  • Phi Phi Islands Picture clear blue waters, towering limestone cliffs, and beaches straight out of a postcard. You can catch a boat from Phuket and spend the day hopping between islands—snorkeling, sunbathing, and just taking in the beauty of it all.

When Should I Go to Phuket?

Phuket has two main seasons: dry and wet. If you're looking to escape winter, the best time to visit is late December to mid-April. February and March are the driest months, with daytime highs reaching 36°C (95°F)—perfect for those who want to soak up the sun. However, this is also when prices for hotels can be at their highest.

If you prefer to avoid the crowds and don't mind a bit of unpredictability with the weather, the shoulder season from late April to early June is a good option. While the rainy season officially starts in June, you can still get plenty of sunny days during this period. From September to mid-October, the island sees the heaviest rains, with storms often making diving difficult. But with lower humidity and fewer tourists, it can still be a great time to visit if you're looking for a quieter experience.
