Patong Beach Phuket, Thailand


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.
