Question: phuket how long to stay?
Answer: If you want to try it just for the sake of it, then max 2 days should be sufficient. 7 days in Phuket will not get you bored. To minimise the risk of getting bored you could stay at 2 separate locations. Could spend 3 days in a quieter area like Kata/Surin/Karon and 4 days at Patong.
