A 4km (2 1/2 mile) long crescent beach 15km (9 miles) west of Phuket town, is the most-modern, fastest-paced and, some would say, the best developed of Phuket's beaches.
It holds the wildest array of water-sports facilities, nightlife, shops and restaurants. Patong is, in short, for visitors who prefer a busy resort to a quiet, hidden beach. Patong has Phuket's largest hotels. The planning code stipulates that hotels be no taller than the palm trees. If so, Patong's trees must be botanical wonders since there is a hotel complex on the back road that towers 25 stories over the surrounding countryside. Patong's beauty is enhanced by rocks extending into the sea. Home to a great number of corals, this area is ideal for scuba diving to see the corals and life under the sea. |
