Patong Beach, located on the West Coast of Phuket, is the most famous of Phuket’s beaches and it has the largest concentration of tourists. While just 15 years ago there was nothing, just a small fishing village and extensive coconut plantations, today it is the most built-up of the beached.
The bungalow complexes, restaurants, shops and nightspots appealing to all tastes are lined up to the seafront. Patong is not for those who want isolation – that’s found in abundance elsewhere around Phuket – but it’s ideal for those who want watersports on their tropical beach, backed-up by an active and exotic nightlife nearby and unlimited good eating set back off a stunningly beautiful beach. With plenty of action and friends to be found, Patong is a popular spot for those seeking fun in the sun.
