Places to stay in Phuket, Thailand (alien.top)

I will be DN'ing from Phuket in February for a week. This will be my first time working remotely so apologies for the amateur questions.

I'm looking for accommodations on Airbnb and to my surprise, daily rates are about $100/day for something decent. I always thought Thailand was super cheap. I've even seen some YouTube videos where people will claim they can live a luxurious lifestyle for $600/mo, all-in including accommodations, food, etc.

Is there something I'm missing here? Should I be booking somewhere else besides Airbnb?

Agreed, and Phuket is really a resort/holiday town, so idk a lot of people who are just going there to work, in terms of DNs, at least.
