 | |  |  | Patong beach: Busy Patong Beach | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
Patong is Phukets most known Beach. It has a wide and long curved sandy beach. Behind the Beach is the main Road and on that road the Hotels (also higher ones), the numerous Shops and Tailors and Restaurants. Patong is the place you go, if you want to be in the middle of things. Here is the Center for watersports (of course you can also go elsewhere), here is the place for Nightlife, the biggest selection of restaurants (Japanese, Thai, French, Italian, German, Indian, ..) and so many tailors you will never find out who is the best (though they all claim its them). Tuk Tuks bring you from one end of the Beach to the other (well, you can also walk the 3 km)....(very important: do not forget to set the price befor driving) The "other side" you see in my picture. This may not be your place if you are here for a little quiet ... but of course you can also go to one of the many other beaches- they are quieter. And not soo far away, either.

| | | | Patong beach: windsurfing and jetski | Tip Rating: | | | | |
This is one of the interesting activities when you get to patong beach, besite sunburn, you also had a chance to see the whole area with doing windsurfing. The cost to do that is around THB800, but you still can nagociate for the price. They will take you for the windsurfing for 10 mins to see the whole beach area from the sky. It must be awesome to see the whole area from the sky, i did not do that as i am on budget trip. My first time at patong beach, the beach guy has offer me to ride a jetski with price THB500 and i can ride for 30mins, i did not accept. The beach boy there are very friendly with me, and they love talking with me and talk about the area there and ask about my country. When they find me as a interesting person to talk with, they have inviting me with a free ride for the jetski, it was interesting to do that but i did not accept the invitation as i am very careful when i am alone, and have to take care of myself. I got an advice from someone which i met on the train, this old men told me "when you alone, you can see and you can listen to anything around you, but you don't trust it". I keep that advice until i got home. Leave a Comment Address: Patong Beach

| | | | Patong beach: Close to sunset time | Tip Rating: | | | | |
When the time pass by you don't realised it. The people around the beach getting less and less, and you also can see people just walk around the beach area for everning excersize, or jogging at the beach, the dog also run here and there, and dogs here likes to sit next to people, when i was there at the beach, the dog always sit or laid next to me, i dont know why, i never likes dogs anyway and always afraid of them, since they like to sit or laid close to me for almost everytime i was there, also likes to walk with me, i just try to be brave then after awhile, i got use to it and still afraid to touch them.
