Patong Beach is the most popular beach resort town in Phuket, with a 4km long beach, an immense choice of hotels, restaurants, shops, and legendary nightlife. What makes it so attractive to many is often what other people dislike most about it. Patong can be big, bold, crowded, bright and loud, yet millions of people come every year. Here you can try the latest fashionable water sports and buy anything on the beach from the vendors: fruit, drinks, snacks, clothes, jewelry, grilled skewers, ice cream, electronic gadgets, massages... Don't forget to bargain. In term of photography, the beach is very pretty during the day. In the dry season, the water is translucent, turquoise blue because there's no wave here compared to other beaches in Phuket like Karon or Kata. For the best views at sunset, head to The Kee Sky Lounge, Wassa bar, Patong Sunset View Restaurant, or Kudo beach club. During the night, head to Bangla road for the neon signs, the dancers and the crazy crowd. Start with Number 6 restaurant and finish at one of the cool clubs: lluzion, Sugar, Barfunk, etc...
