Trends in Phuket
Sukhumvit Sleepless Nights?
So, I'm heading to Bangkok next month and booked a stay at Sukhumvit Backpacker. Heard it's a crazy hive of activity. Anyone know the best way to actually *sleep* there? Seriously, the reviews are… more
Earplugs are definitely your friend, especially if you're a light sleeper. Sukhumvit is busy. But, the further down Soi 11 you get, the quieter it generally becomes. The main drag is a constant buzz, but even a few blocks in can make a difference. Try and get a room away from the street, if possible – even on a higher floor. And yeah, later at night, things calm down somewhat. It's not silent, but it's less of a full-on rave. You'll probably still hear some noise, honestly, but its more of a low hum rather than a thumping bassline.
Sinthavee Sleepless Nights?
So, I'm heading to @Phuket next month and booked the Sinthavee Hotel. Heard it's got killer views, but reviews mention some noise issues at night. Anyone stayed there recently? What's the actual noi… more
Stayed there last October. The views are indeed amazing, totally worth it. Noise wasn't a constant problem, more like sporadic bursts. A few motorbikes, some music drifting over from nearby bars – nothing unbearable, but definitely noticeable if you're a light sleeper. I used earplugs a couple of nights, more out of habit than necessity, to be honest. Wouldn't say it was 'party central' at all, more of a low-level hum of city life. You should be fine with decent earplugs, though.
Good to know, thanks! Sporadic bursts is helpful – gives me a better idea than just "noisy" or "quiet". I'm a pretty light sleeper, so earplugs are definitely in the bag now. Appreciate the honest feedback!
