Patong Beach is one of the most popular and busy beaches in Phuket.
The beach is located on the west coast of the island and offers a variety of activities, including jet skiing, banana boat rides, skydiving, wishing lanterns launching and many other things.
It stretches for about 4 kilometers and is conventionally divided into north, central, and south sections.
Patong has the most developed infrastructure of all the beaches: plenty of sun loungers, water activities, street food vendors, and restaurants along the shoreline. There is a pedestrian pathway along the beach where you can walk in the shade of tropical trees.
Reviews about the beach and the sea itself differ. Some claim that Patong is one of the dirtier beaches in Phuket, while others are completely delighted, saying it’s the best place to relax. As always, the decision is up to you.
In any case, everyone agrees that Patong has the most vibrant nightlife. Here you will find the famous Bangla Road, where tourists from all over the island gather.
During the low season, there can be waves at Patong, but at the cape in the southern part of the bay, there are several beaches with calm seas in any season. Therefore, Patong is suitable both for those who love beach vacation and for nightlife enthusiasts.
