Unless you're up for a hostel, the accommodation close to the sand tends to be pricey. Head well off Patong Beach to find cheaper guesthouses stacked by the dozens.

Close to Patong beach
The beach road is lined with large resorts and, if proximity to the sea is a priority, this is probably where you’ll want to settle. However, be prepared to put up with more noise, less privacy and much higher prices than further back off the beach.
The further back you go off Patong beach, the cheaper and more numerous the guesthouses become. The accommodation listings here are just a sample -- there are more than 100 places to stay, many indistinguishable from the next.
