This was my 3rd trip to Patong in the last 10 years and was very excited to be returning. However, I do not know if I changed or if the place has really gone downhill. On the positive side, there are some qualities and things about Phuket that are the pure epitome of a holiday. Inexpensive and tasty food, good... more

I've just returned from a 3D2N trip from Phuket. The scenery is fantastic ! People there basically very friendly, except that sometimes might have difficulties in making them to understand what we trying to say. Stayed in Andaman Beach Suites, which is about 5mins walk to the beach, located just in between two busy streets where easy access to foods/shops/bars....... more

After a week at the isolated Boat Lagoon we hit Patong looking for fun and found it delivered in trumps. Yes the traffic is heavy, the tailors are pushy and areas are smelly - but the place is alive. One look at the beach was enough - but the only interest I have in a beach is surf and that... more

I only went there at night...Don't shop here. It's so over priced! We went to Bangkok first and it was amazing to see how much more they would mark up the cost. I thought this place was a disaster. Every 5 steps I had someone asking me the same things...where are you from?, massage?, ping pong show?, designer bags (bad... more

The beach boys there are still the greatest but the jet skis. I counted over 120 along the beach (granted they all weren't being... more

Date of trip - May 1-6, 2007 Patong Beach is a wonderful location for an affordable and idyllic holiday. The place is vibrant from morning till night. The main road is Thaweewong (right next to the beach). Plenty of shopping for imitation designer brands - they even custom make shoes and handbags if you have the time. The shops along... more

Patong beach could be a very lovely location. Unfortunately it is ruined by the huge amount of traffic, both on land and in the sea. On land, it is a big challenge to cross a street because of the enormous amount of motorbikes which arrive from all directions. At the beach, there is an incredible amount of water motorbikes which... more
