Patong Beach Guide

Everything You Need to Know About Patong

 

Patong is the most famous beach resort on Phuket. With its wide variety of activities and nightlife, Patong is an ideal place to party and play. By night the town has a bustling nightlife which includes literally hundreds of restaurants, chic lounge bars, beer bars and of course discos. The nightlife is centred around Soi Bangla (Bangla Road) however there are quiet parts of town.

Visitors hoping for a glimpse into the exotic East might not find it here, though the steaming hot streets, neon lights and chaotic atmosphere of Patong can be overwhelming for the new arrival. The key to full enjoyment of the place is to pace yourself, drink lots of water and learn the meaning of 'mai pen rai' - which translates roughly to 'It doesn't matter' or 'Don't worry, be happy'.

Streets of Patong are relatively quiet by day, but when the sun goes down the town awakens and roars. The beach road and back streets turn into a hectic treading ground for street vendors and pedestrians while the bars, pubs and discos become heavily populated with fun-seeking locals and visitors. Bangla Road is the centre of the night-time action with live music, discos, cabaret, sports bars, lounge bars, Thai boxing and of course the girlie bars for which it's famous.

Patong Shopping

Every evening it seems that Patong turns into a giant market as market stalls appear from nowhere on all the main streets (and many minor ones). You can virtually anything you need but you must haggle to get a reasonable price, haggling should be done with a smile on your face. Jungceylon, a large shopping mall and entertainment complex with shops for many western brands, and also a Carrefour supermarket.
