How to find the best hostels in Phuket for your trip
Looking for the best hostels in Phuket, Thailand? You’ve come to the right place. Phuket is the biggest island in Thailand and itâs a melting pot of intense Thai culture, crazy nightlife, and relaxed beach vibes, making it one of the backpackersâ favourite destinations.
The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Phuket is its incredible beaches, on the west coast of the island.

Phuket Town is on the other side of the island and is the more authentic part. It is the best area to stay in Phuket if youâre not a party animal or you need a break from the craziness of the beaches, and itâs where you will find the less touristy attractions. Donât miss out on the famous Night Markets, blazing with street vendors and delicious Thai food.
Stay in Karon Beach and pay a visit to the Big Buddha and the Wat Chalong Temple, which will help you to get in touch with the sacred spirituality of this country. Get ready to have your breath taken away by the stunning architecture and incredible view that it offers over the island.
Thailand is a very cheap country and it lets you enjoy some of the best food, landscapes, and hostels in the world for less than ÂŁ20 per day, which is why it is one of the best places to backpack. If you want to continue your journey through this beautiful country, take a look at the best hostels in Thailand.
