Can anyone suggest where in Phuket an old retired couple should stay on the island? Visiting 5 months. Looking for a place that you can walk around, has restaurants and a bit of a hub for tours near a beach. Some expats in the area would be good. Not too expensive.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A retired couple considering a 5-month stay in Phuket is advised to explore areas like Kamala, Rawai, and Kata Noi. Kamala is highlighted for its nice beach, walkability, restaurants, and expat presence. Rawai also offers a variety of amenities, though getting around may require a vehicle. Suggestions include checking out Airbnb for rentals, particularly in Kamala, and joining expat groups on Facebook for further insights.
