Patong

Travelers who want to do more than worship the sun should head over to colorful and crowded Patong, the unofficial party capital of Phuket. This vibrant area is filled with nightclubs, restaurants, bars and tourist shops. On Patong’s 3.5 km (2.2 mile) long beach, travelers will find many vendors hawking parasailing adventures, jet ski rentals and local wares. This is one of the most popular beaches in Thailand, especially with those who enjoy partying and having a good time.
