tl;dr I am staying at an amazing hostel – 3 activities
Activity 1 – Lub D Hostel Phuket:
This hostel is great and I highly recommend it. The hostel has a boxing ring and has lessons available for purchase (there is also a practice area with bags). The hostel also has a pool, hammocks, and a bar/restaurant area.
I came to Phuket to relax (and I needed it because of all of my early mornings and late nights). First things first – change into my bathing suit and hit the pool. The pool is crowded and I quickly meet people from across the world. There was a DJ blasting great music and a Giant Jenga game being played. After swimming for a bit, I join the Giant Jenga. The rules were: if you lost, you had to take a shot, which was paid for by the hostel, so by winning you win and by losing you win – it was great! The atmosphere was great!
Activity 2 – Dinner at Number 6:
This place is considered a must try if you are in the Patong area of Phuket. I ordered the Sweet and Sour Fish and it was delicious. Met a bunch of guys at my table who were all working in Southeast Asia, but on vacation in Phuket.
Activity 3 – Bangla Walking Street:
Bangla Walking street is the main party hub of Phuket. I got there around 10pm and walked from one end of the street to the other (its not far). There were a bunch of bars and clubs, but nothing was all that crowded (the street was very crowded just not the bars). Also, people kept coming up to me to try and get me to go into their bar or go see a ‘ping pong show.’ I quickly got tired of this and decided to call it a night. For reference, I assumed that all bars/clubs closed at midnight like in Chiang Mai – this is not the case apparently.
