Both places are full of hotels and guest houses and a view from a boat at night will show the multi-storey hotels and the lights on the shoreline. You can take a cruise to the little islands which are in the Andaman Sea and see how the islanders live; some are the sea- gypsies who earn their living by collecting shells and other marine life that is washed up on the beaches and which can be turned into decorative items for tourists.
The Andaman Sea is inviting and you will enjoy swimming in its blue waters, although take heed of the warnings if you are on the beach during the monsoon season which runs from May until October. You can hire a sun bed for a day on one of the long stretches of sand, which are kept clean and pristine, although of course, you should take any rubbish with you when you leave. There are many beaches around both Phuket and Patong, and you can explore them to find the one that suits you best. Sellers will roam the sands with fresh fruits and cold drinks and there are always café-bars and restaurants in tourist areas.
The island has something for everyone including families with children, but you have to ensure that children are adequately protected from the heat, and don't get prickly heat, which makes them miserable. Keep them as cool as possible and remember that you can get sunstroke from being in the sea, for a long time as the water reflects the sun's rays onto the body if you are not fully immersed.
Perhaps you would like to sip a drink while lazing in a hammock, and you can do this on the island, just find you ideal spot and sling your hammock between two inviting palm trees and relax. That's what holidays are for.
