On Phuket you will find a huge selection of renowned hotels, apartment houses and small bungalow complexes. From the luxury hostel to simple guesthouses and resorts, everything is represented here. Phuket offers hotels for every taste and budget. The most happening in Patong is along the Walking Street, there are several bars and discotheques for the night owls and many shops on the beach road and in various malls (including Jungcylon). In Kata, Karon and Kamala it is a little quieter, but the beaches are still very busy. The closer one looks for a hotel near the airport, the quieter the beaches are.

We prefer the slightly smaller and quieter beach sections of Phuket.

The Rawai Beach is located in the immediate vicinity of Ya Nui Beach and is located in the district Chalong. On the beach promenade there are several fish restaurants and one has a beautiful view of the sea to the neighboring islands (Bon Island, Koh Lone etc). Here you will find the Smile World & Smile Home.

Quietly located here is the Smile World & Smile Home. The small hotel complex has only 6 large bungalows, which are very clean and modern equipped: In addition to the large, soft bed is a flat screen TV with satellite connection, and a fridge and air conditioning in every room. Free WIFI is available. The atmosphere is very friendly and pleasant. The welcome was warm and there were welcome drinks for us. In the middle of the complex is a pool area and a sauna is available. In addition to breakfast and a small selection of Western dishes, the restaurant also serves the classics of Thai cuisine. We liked it so much that we extended our stay at the Smile World & Smile Home!
