Customer Travel Tip: Avoid Patong, or maybe Phuket in general. If there, however, check out OSOT Apotheke Cafe & Pizzeria in Phuket city, and Coffee Mania in Patong. Aside from Balcony Hostel, they were the only highlights for us.
Liked: Balcony was a little happy Island in the mess that is Patong. I am not a fan of this little city, though I can't really speak for the rest of Phuket, as we only drove through it on a motorbike trip.
Disliked: Constant pestering and obsessive scams from people selling their glitz.
