This 4 km long Patong Beach, ringed with high green lush mountains, is no doubt the most famous of Phuket's beaches. The white sand and the water is very clean despite this is the most developed beach on the island. The bungalow complexes, restaurant, shops and vibrant nightspots appealing to all tastes are lined up to the seafront. Among the many popular daytime activities are windsurfing, snorkeling, sailing, swimming and sunbathing.
Apart from endless shopping area day and night, Patong has an extensive range of dining options with all kinds of excellent local and international food available. |
Italian regional specialties and home made pasta; French classic and nouvelle cuisine; Indian tandoori and curries; Japanese sushi and teppanyaki, in addition to Scandinavian and British Pub Fare. Wine is increasing in popularity with a good wine selection now on offer at many restaurants.
The beach tends to get rather crowded in high season and still has visitors between June and October. This is a party beach. It is definitely suitable for those looking for a lively holiday, but not for those in search of solitude. |

Those seeking a less commercial and quiet atmosphere may want to head 3-4 hundred meters north on the seaside road to the Kalim Bay. The bay consists of rocky but quiet beaches, and an interesting road leading up into hills with high viewpoints and a few good quality restaurants perched on the edge and top. Near the bridge connecting to the Coral Island Resort are a group of long tail boats for hire.
Another little known and quiet beach south of Patong is the Tri-Trang Beach. This beach with a few palm trees is quite nice at high tide, and is never crowded with mostly Thais that relax under the trees. |
