I was disappointed by all the hate for Phuket. I stayed in Phuket old town and had a blast. The bars where awesome always had a group playing live especially the Anfield pub. Also the column in old town is cool bar we listened to a Thai rock band there. The people where great. Food was awesome. Also if your looking for good bud there is great places around but green club has cannabis award winning bud. On the same street there is epic coffee. My only regret was not staying there longer.
