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.

Hi guys. I will be heading to phuket in Early July and wanted recommendations for places to rent for 6months. Iooking for a lively upbeat area but not too swamped. Good view and bright windows close proximity to any of the beaches. I was looking at Kamala but it seems a bit slow right now so I’m open to suggestions.

Around $600 to $1000 monthly budget.

Thanks in advance.
