Hotels near Phuket International Airport - HKT, Phuket Town

We stayed here just before leaving Thailand. It is great because it is not as busy as the other beaches in Thailand but it still has some restaurants and markets. Also a bit further at the beach near the airport you can see the airplanes flying over you when they land!

It is a small, but well designed 2 separate rooms apts. Each room has own air condition unit. Kitchenette has everything for home cooking. If any problem appears, Andrei, the host lives at the same building and quickly resolve it. The hidden treasure for this area is a reef with great variety of coral fishes just 15 minutes beach walk to south of the Airport. It is part of Sirinat National Park. It is a free entrance to the park if you just doing beach walking from your apts. If you use official entrance- 200 bat for adult plus 20 bat for your car!!! I saved tons of money, each morning coming for the great snorkeling for 13 days for free. Plus, you can get a fresh fish right from the tiny fish market in the Park ( and authentic cheap breakfast from the locals.)Compare this with $60 for 30 minutes snorkeling from the boat tour. The beach is amazing, especially early morning.

I went to Ban Bo Han for an overnight stay in order to catch a morning flight from the airport. I was only there for an afternoon and evening. There were plenty of shops and restaurants and, for Phuket, the traffic was not too bad, so quite a pleasant place to walk around.

Noisy and crowded in peak season When tide was out has to walk a long way to get to deeper water for swimming. Sometimes struggled to find a sun bed Fantastic restaurants along the strip, spoilt for choice Lovely sunsets

It is one of the very few places on the island that isn't over developed, however this won't last long. Not a place for people seeking late night entertainment, very much a family location as evidenced by the number of Vlad's army visitors. An excellent and extensive west facing beach. So if looking for a low impact and quiet holiday this is a very convenient place to come. It's barely 10 minutes from the airport and that can be a major benefit on an island with a crowded and under-developed road system.

From our experience its a great place to relax before heading home and handy that it is close to the airport. Although the beach wasn't as nice as when were had previously been in Feb a few years ago, I think this is the main thing we like about it plus all the restaurants on the beach.
