I have been to Phuket a few times and found the Banthai to be a bit sterile. It was okay but not worth what we paid. I would stay at the Patong Merlin beach resort if I went back. the Banthai is in a good location and if your not sure about Thai food there is a pizza restaurant and... more

When booking this hotel I had no idea the location would be so perfect. We were right across the road from Patong beach and in the centre of the shopping and restaurant area. The rooms were clean and the staff were extremely friendly. The pool was beautiful and because we were on the ground floor our back door opened right... more

It was really a great place - we arrived at phuket airport, and we directly went to do the bungee jumping, followed by the elephant ride! So by the time we checked in, we were really tired.

I stayed at the Banthai Beach Resort for 7 nights during my third trip to Phuket having previously stayed at the Holiday Inn.

The location of this property takes you far enough away from noise, hustle and bustle without presenting prolonged periods of walking to reach shops, cafes and the renowned Bangla Road. The... more

Stayed here for 6 nights for our honeymoon. Bed was very hard to sleep on and mosquitos everywhere in the room. Very damp outside bedroom sliding door. Nice swimming pool but shame about the spa jets not working properly. Bad intenet access in rooms. You can check emails but that's about it. Bathroom had mould on the walls and i... more
