Tbh, i stayed on Phuket island on the north west-ish side, not in Phuket city, and I thought it was really nice. Near Naiyang beach i believe. Not a lot of people, still nice beach and some food and drinks etc nearby. Heard terrible things off the city but i guess the island itself can have its moments.
I’m sure it’s possible to find some good places on the island, but in my opinion, why risk it? Thailand has so much other stuff to offer at way less of a risk.
