Were heading over to Phuket for the first time (have been to Thailand before) but haven't booked accommodation yet.

We want to stay in an area which is close to night clubs, bars and general entertainment and not too far from the beach!

Can anyone advise us on what part of the island we can get all this? I've heard that Phuket is pretty lively in general, but we want to stay in the most liveliest area!

It would also be pretty handy if you could tell us how much the approximate taxi fare is from the airport to the area.

Thanks!
