| 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. |
