Patong - Beauty Lies in the Eye of the Beholder
Among all the places in Phuket, Patong is the destination where most people congregate for one reason or another. The reasons for Patong being popular are many. Some people are attracted to the beach while others flock for the nightlife, which is one of the most exciting things about the place. Though Patong is very urbanized, crowded and noisy, it promises a great time while you are there.
Among the travelers who visit Patong, many are single, Western males and the place is a favorite among them whether they are traveling alone or in groups. Patong is regarded as the playground of Phuket.

Previously, the nightlife of Patong consisted merely of go-go bars and bar girls. However, the scene is changing nowadays and the nightlife in Patong today is much more diverse than what it was earlier, though many of its former characteristics still remain. Today, in addition to the go-go bars, Patong has dance clubs, salsa bars, jazz clubs and many other trendy hang-outs. Nevertheless, the number of bars in Patong is still very high.
The beach in Patong used to be very beautiful. However, these days it has become far too crowded with parasols, sun loungers and people who will pester you to rent jet-skis. The ice-cream sellers and people offering massages and henna tattoos while you are sunbathing are other sources of annoyance that can repel you off the beach.
Patong has a lot to offer for foodies. With its large range of gastronomical delights, it can surprise you. A large number of restaurants can be found down the streets of Patong. Most of these restaurants specialize in Italian food though there are some to cater to other tastes as well. However, the food is expensive in Patong.
The tuk-tuk drivers of Patong are a group of people who have accumulated a large number of complaints against them over the years. Though some of them are honest people trying to make a living for themselves, a large number of tuk-tuk drivers deserve all the criticism. There have been instances of tuk-tuk drivers getting aggressive over others parking in "tuk-tuk zones", a concept that does not exist at all. With their transport strikes, the tuk-tuk drivers have monopolized the transport situation in Patong and even the authorities cannot do anything about it.
