3 thousand is easily enough. If you dont drink too much and just want a nice place to Relax go to Kata and try to find a hotel there. There are many places in Phuket jus try to stay away from the capital Patong as that is a major drinking and party town at night.
I was living in Kata for a couple of months and found a nice hotel that was very good and was paying 15 pounds a night. If you think about spending 1000 pounds you should be able to find something very nice such as a chalet or apartment.

Hi you need not bring all that cash with you! Just bring your ATM card and draw just sufficient cash for your expenditure on a short interval basis.
Going to Phuket, there are many links that you can read up on. You have options for accommodation by staying in hotel, resort, guesthouse or apartment. And the price need not be expensive to find a nice spot.
Patong Beach tends to be overrated due to its high tourist traffic. Other beaches in Phuket give you more privacy. Look at http://www.tourismthailand.org for information on Phuket and its attractions. Also look at Krabi and Phanga nearby. These places are within easy reach will will make nice change of scenery.
Look at http://www.directrooms.com or http://www.asiarooms.com for accommodation info. For long stay, you can get even better than published rate. Make enquiry with the hotel.
Food wise, it is not expensive, so you can get by quite well. I believe if you budget about 50 pounds a day, it should be enoough to cover your living expenses already.
You can email me at thaitourinfo@yahoo.com if you like.
Happy holiday.
