Patong Beach Phuket

Once a remote village in one of the several islands of Thailand , the Patong Beach , Phuket is today one of the most poignant symbols of the booming tourism industry of Thailand . Located around 15 kms on the western fringes of Phuket town, the 3 kms long beach is at the center of the tourist hub of Phuket.

Surrounded by the greenest hills possible, this exotic beach is blessed with the clearest waters of the Andaman Seas . Surprisingly, even being at the center of tourism in Phuket, the Patong Beach remains even today nestled in the lap of nature. The almost white, fine grain sands of the Patong Beach is a pleasure to walk on, which coupled with the pleasantly cool breeze that flows in from the sea, makes the beach one of the most popular haunts of not just the tourists but the locals as well.

However, perhaps the greatest attraction of the Patong Beach is the cosmopolitan ambience that is present almost all around the beach. It is also the center of the nightlife activities for which Thailand is known all around the world. Patong Beach is also extremely well-connected to a number of neighboring beaches like the Freedom Beach , which is just a boat ride away from the Patong Beach , Phuket.
