The Property — Palm View Resort
Palm View Resort is a functional three-star property set back from Patong’s main strip, surrounded by tropical greenery and a decent pool. It’s straightforward, clean and good value for budget travellers who want a calm base within walking distance of the beach and nightlife. The lobby feels like a small lobby in a busy hotel — check-in is efficient, staff are polite but not fawning. This place suits independent travellers or couples who plan to spend most of their time out exploring.
Chronicles of Phuket
Phuket City grew rich on tin mining in the 19th century, drawing Chinese and European traders who left a legacy of Sino-Portuguese shophouses and mansions around Old Town. The island's tourism boom kicked off in the 1970s, first with backpackers on Rawai Beach, then expanding into Patong’s mega-resort strip. Modern Phuket is a mix of package-holiday resorts, upscale villas, and a still-thriving old quarter. Culturally, it retains a strong Hokkien Chinese influence, seen in its cuisine and the annual Vegetarian Festival.
Best Time to Visit
Full Phuket guide →Best months
November through February: cool, dry weather with average highs around 30°C and low humidity. March and April are also good but get hotter.
Peak / festival surge
December and January are peak: heavy crowds, high season rates at up to double low-season levels. Christmas/New Year and Chinese New Year push occupancy to near 100%.
Budget shoulder season
May, June and October are the best budget shoulder months. You’ll find hotel discounts of 30-50%, rain is usually brief morning/afternoon showers, and beaches are uncrowded.
Weather & packing
Phuket’s wet season (May-Oct) often delivers short, heavy downpours in the late afternoon, but mornings are often sunny. Pack a light waterproof jacket and a sturdy umbrella, plus insect repellent for evening walks.
Live City Briefing — Phuket
- Patong’s beachfront parking has been rearranged as part of a wider beach-cleaning project — expect limited space if driving, but the sand is cleaner.
- The new Phuket light-rail project is still in planning but work on the first phase (Phuket City to Patong) is due to start in 2026, meaning some roadworks on the main highway.
- In July 2026, Phuket’s annual ‘Sea Turtle Conservation Week’ runs from 28 June to 4 July, with beach clean-ups and release events at Mai Khao Beach — check their social media for schedule.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Palm View Resort, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 or 4 at the back of the building (away from Nanai Road). These upper floors reduce street noise and offer better cross-ventilation.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor and first-floor rooms facing Nanai Road. They get direct motorbike and traffic noise from this busy street.
Best views
Rear-facing rooms on floors 3+ overlook the garden or pool area, not the road. Front-facing rooms see Nanai Road traffic.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4, especially at the rear side.
🔊 Noise notes
Nanai Road is a main through-road with motorbikes, tuk-tuks, and late-night street food vendors. Early morning garbage collection also occurs.
Insider tips
1. For a quieter stay, request a room at the back, even if it means a lower floor. 2. If you have a car, park in the rear lot – it's safer and quieter than the street-side spaces.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
