Phuket is the biggest island in Thailand, located in the Andaman Sea off southernThailand.
One of the most popular tourist areas on Phuket is Patong Beach on the centralwestern coast, perhaps owing to the easy access to its wide and long beach.Most of Phuket’s night-life and its cheap shopping are located in Patong, andthe area has become increasingly developed. Patong means “the forest filledwith banana leaves” in Thai.


Patong Beach, Phuket this is Phuket’s central tourist and night time entertainmentdistrict.
Over the year, Patong has turned from a fishing village into one of the island’stwo cities. The famous bay and 4 km. beach remain as they were, with developmentlimited to the area back of the beach road.


There, however, virtually every kind of entertainment imaginable awaits visitors,with bars catering to every nationality. Live music can be found in many places,and there are also discotheques.


Accommodations range from budget to five-star. Shopping opportunities appearto be endless. Whatever one’s culinary disposition, a restaurant catering toit will be found. In addition, there are many tour companies waiting to helpvisitors plan their vacations.


These are reasons why we chose Phuket (Patong) for our holiday. Let’s go!!!!
