PATONG BEACH
Patong Beach
is an astonishing combination of breathtakingly beautiful white
sand beach edged by the glittering Andaman Sea, and the most concentrated
area of tourist accommodations, shops, nightclubs, restaurants and
attractions. If you want action, this is where you will find it.
During the day enjoy all the beach-type activities
from sunbathing to beach volleyball. Pirate's Cove mini-golf is
near the south end of Patong on Rat Uthit Rd. Restaurants abound
featuring every type of cuisine from seafood, noodle and rice vendors
along the beach promenade to French cuisine at Le Croissant on Bangla
Rd, Mexican food at Viva Mexico south of Soi Post Office, Indian
food at Tandoor on Soi Kepsup and Italian at Da Maurizio's up on
Kalim Bay.
At night the area rocks with music ranging from
Tommy Doyle's piano keys at Baan Ram Pi and the neighbouring sounds
of a jazz band down into the heart of Patong near the intersection
of Thawiwong and Bangla Rds over to Rat Uthit.
For real night action head for the area around
Bangla Rd and Soi San Sabai. For dancing there's the disco clubs
like the Banana Discotheque and the famous transvestite show is
found at the Simon Cabaret or at UFO. Soi Sunset has clubs that
don't even get started until midnight.
