Kata Beach

Stayed Patong 2 nights then moved to Kata — best decision. Still have cafés and restaurants but the beach isn't a party zone. Morning surf at Kata Noi (south end) before the speedboats show up. Grab from Patong was 350 baht.

Phuket Old Town

Sunday walking street on Thalang Rd is worth planning around. But even on a weekday — walk Dibuk and Krabi roads for the Sino-Portuguese houses, then coffee at One Chun or Raya. Most beach tourists never come here and they're missing the best food on the island.

Chalong Pier

Coral Island (Koh Hey) day trip from Chalong — 45 min speedboat, back by 3pm. Snorkeling was decent, beach crowded but fine for a first island fix. Booked same morning at the pier for 900 baht. Phi Phi tomorrow — heard it's a longer day.
