Patong beach
Originally uploaded by Evergreen forest

The most famous beach in Phuket is Patong Beach. With its beautiful blue water and white sand, Patong Beach is a breathtaking sight. That said, Patong Beach also has its darker side; the areas around Patong Beach are heavily built-up with a myriad of gritty souvenir shops, crowded restaurants, and loud nightlife. If you’re looking for seclusion, Patong Beach is probably not for you. If you’re looking for a lively party, Patong Beach might be just what you want.
