Thanks for sharing bro..WOW! if this where you stayed? How much would it cost?
You went on a package? or DIY?

Phuket got places for shopping ah? How are the costs of general expenses in phuket?, eg Food and accomodation, when compared to say eg. Bangkok?
The travel agencies I approached kept quoting me high prices for mediocre hotels bro, so I did it DIY at a slightly cheaper price for accommodations way better.

Phuket has a quite a few shopping centres, though not as many night markets as what you can get in Bangkok. Food and lodging cost should be generally the same variety. I was still able to get great Halal places to eat for my family and if you're not a Muslim, it's even much easier to find food. And it's way less of a hassle than going to Bangkok nowadays, no need to worry about demonstrations or riots.

This was actually my second time in Phuket this year so I did quite a bit of research to ensure things ran smoothly.
