I can't remember where I stayed during my previous trip to Phuket fifteen or so years ago but wherever that may be, it was nothing like Patong Beach where I stayed this time.
There are ten reasons I say what I've just said.
No 1. There are so many hotels in Patong Beach catering to different budgets. Even a good one is not that unaffordable.
No2. It's so easy to find food. There are hundreds of restaurants, roadside stalls, beach stalls, food courts, you will be spoilt for choice.
Roasted suckling pig. A quarter for 500baht.
Local and authentic Thai dishes at the market...
No3. Public transportation are aplenty. The bus station where you can catch buses going to Phuket town is located at the southern end of Patong Beach.
No 4. For die hard shoppers, Patong Beach is the place to be as there are thousands of shops & stalls selling things which may interest you.
Jungceylon the biggest shopping mall in Phuket is also located in Patong Beach.
No 9. Money changers are everywhere.
No 10. Phamarcies, clinics, wet market.. even tattoo shops. You have them all in Patong Beach.
If you need some peace and quiet just retreat to your hotel room but a word of advice.
Do not stay too near Bangla Road as the noise coming out from there is thunderous.

Hi, thanks for the details, very informative and and assuring. Can I ask if you happen to know if we can rent a car in Malaysia and drive into Thailand?
Phuket Airport Transfer
Yes you can. But you have to bring your car grant (registration card) and buy insurance before entering the border. It's best if you check the latest requirement online.
I love Thailand – it’s the best for short weekend getaways for me since I live close by in Hong Kong (and the flights are cheap, wink wink). Definitely going to beach the next time I drop off at Phuket!
This is actually good to read content of this blog. A is very general and huge knowledgeable platform has been known by this blog. I in reality appreciate this blog to have such kind of educational knowledge.
