Lub d Phuket Patong is a large hostel built for meeting people, with a rock climbing wall, a small gym and a Thai boxing ring where guests take Muay Thai lessons. Free volleyball tournaments run every Saturday and Sunday, and the crowd is young and ready for a night out. Beds are in four-bed dorms, mixed or women only, and the private Duo rooms have king beds and en suite bathrooms, some of them looking over the pool.
“Location is great, easy to walk anywhere in Patong and plenty of bars & restaurants around.”

Pang, who owns Sweett Lemon, runs the small hostel herself and keeps it spotless, down to bathrooms cleaned through the day. Women can book a dorm on a separate floor kept for women only. The alley it stands in, off Thaweewong Road, stays quiet at night, though Patong Beach is two minutes away on foot and Bangla Road not much further.

Bambus is the most central glamping in Phuket, its tents about ten minutes on foot from Patong Beach and Jungceylon. It opened in late 2024 as a restaurant, bar and dive center, and the tents and two en-suite rooms followed a year later. Its own SSI dive center runs boat, wreck and technical dives, so guests can dive by day and have Patong's nightlife on the doorstep after dark.
