But that's still not all, the biggest benefit of the Shades Hotel besides its location, is that is very quiet at night despite being so close to the action of Phuket. The hotel also has breakfast every day, down at the restaurant, which is absolutely charming. Freshly brewed Thailand coffee, combined with croissants, eggs, fruits and toast is just perfect to start the day. Front desk staff, Miss Bebe and Nina are kind and accommodating to any requests. They will give you very detailed instructions about tours and activities in the area.

Patong is the most famous beach resort on Phuket. With its wide variety of activities and nightlife, Patong is an ideal place to party and play. By night the town has a bustling nightlife which includes literally hundreds of restaurants, beer bars, Go Go Bars and of course night clubs. The nightlife is centred around Soi Bangla (Bangla Road) however there are quiet parts of town. Visitors hoping for a glimpse into the exotic East might not find it here, though the steaming hot streets, neon lights and chaotic atmosphere of Patong can be overwhelming for the new arrival. The key to full enjoyment of the place is to pace yourself, drink lots of water and learn the meaning of 'mai pen rai' - which translates roughly to 'It doesn't matter' or 'Don't worry, be happy'.
