Where to stay in Phuket : Bang Tao
Bang Tao is located between Surin and Nai Yang beaches,
and is 6km long. It is very suitable for water sports, especially wind-surfing and sailing, but the monsoonal months bring rough seas, when it is not possible to swim. To the north of the bay, off the coast, there is a striking coral reef for those who enjoy diving and snorkeling. The best time to visit this area is between November and April,
as the waters are calm during this period.
Accommodation and Facilities
Bang Tao is home to many luxurious resorts, as well as
five-star hotels and the Laguna golf course. The surroundings
are quite private, and in addition to the Laguna hotels,
there are also other accommodation and hotels situated to
the north and
south of Bang Tao beach, mostly four or five star hotels.
There is a dearth of budget accommodation on offer in this area, although tourists may look for places to stay in the Patong or Kata-Karon beach areas, where there is a wide range of accommodation of varying quality and price not far from Bang Tao beach. Renowned hotels in this region include
The Banyan Tree Phuket
, Ayara Hilltops
, Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket,
Sheraton Grande Laguna
, Chedi Phuketand many more.
