Back from Phuket. Spent 4 days, here's the breakdown:
Accommodation: Airbnb near the action. $46/night.
Scene: Not as busy as I hoped but still good.
Prices: Great value — cheaper than last year.
Highlights: Met an amazing girl on day 3 — spent 3 days together.
Overall: 9/10 — would highly recommend.
Ask me anything.
Returning to Phuket after 3 years

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.
