About Patong

A dense beach town for travellers wanting late-night bars and large crowds.

The streets around Bangla Road are packed with neon signs and heavy traffic deep into the night. It makes sense if you want to walk from your room straight into the nightlife and large shopping malls. Give it a miss if you prefer quiet evenings or empty sand.

Getting there
Walk locally or take a taxi from Phuket airport.
Watch out for
Heavy traffic and loud music late into the night.
