Patong Beach Hotels & Resorts

Phuket's epicentre of action. Combining a stunning beach, outrageous nightlife, luxury hotels and tuk-tuks; Patong is a Thai holiday condensed into a small strip of coastline.

Visitors were initially drawn to Patong thanks to its soft white sands and inviting waters and this still remains true today but there has been significant development since its discovery. Travel agents, souvenir shops, tailors, hotels, restaurants and go-go bars all dominate the town and ensure that everything you could ever need, and more, is easily available. Thaweewong Road is where the majority of commerce exists so if you are desperate to get a suit tailored or you need some gifts to take back home, we recommend you head there.

It's easy to spend most of your time relaxing in the luxurious Patong resorts available but the beach will always be enticing. The swimming is fantastic and if you are a water sports fan there are plenty of opportunities to indulge in jet skiing and other activities. During the day the beach is lined with vendors selling food and drinks to keep you well fed and watered.

Leave your Patong hotel after dark and you might not recognise the place you saw during the day. Patong changes guises at night and becomes one of Thailand's nightlife hotspots. Neon lights glow onto the streets as bars and restaurants compete for your attention. Head down Soi Bangla for an eye-popping look at Patong's infamous go-go bars or work your way around other parts of the town for a more family-friendly experience.
