Stay away from the Patong main strip at night unless you like that nasty debauchery.
Enjoy the beautiful scenery, resort facilities, markets, massages and street food.
Don’t bother going to Patong beach because it’s quite ugly but stick around for the water sports.

I normally stay at Avista Hideaway Phuket Patong - MGallery. It’s a 5 star resort paradise with very spacious and luxurious rooms. The breakfast is sufficient (no need for a half or full board) as food in the local markets are very cheap.
They are 10min outside of the hustle and bustle of Patong (which to me is quite rough, crowded and noisy - i.e not conducive for a relaxing holiday) and they have a complimentary shuttle running to Junceylon (the main tourist shopping centre) every 30min.
In terms of other attractions, behind Jungceylon is a local food market (right outside Banzaan Market) where food is a fraction of the tourist prices.
If you’re there to shop, I’d highly recommend going to Central Phuket Shopping Centre (approx 35min from Patong) for a nice upmarket a formal market with local and international brands otherwise down the road from Jungceylon there is a standard market where you can haggle with the traders.
For a beach experience, Patong Beach isn’t that great so I’d recommend heading down to Karon Beach (about 20min) south of Patong where it is less crowded.
For your trip to Phi Phi (I personally didn’t think it was that great as it’s a party island filled with a bunch of backpacker lodges) you can search online. You’ll see a lot of shops on the street advertising tourist activities but I don’t trust them so would rather go through a formal channel. Just remember that you can always negotiate the price.
