| This is Phuket's central tourist and
night time entertainment district. Over the years, Patong has turned
from a fishing village into one of the island's two cities. The famous
bay and 4 km. beach is know as a centre of entertainment with restaurants
catering to every nationality. Live music can be found in most pubs
and bars. Accommodations range from budget to five-star. Shopping
opportunities appear to be endless. In addition, there are many tour
companies waiting to help visitors plan their vacations. Some of the
options available are listed below. |

| This beach is really a continuation north of Patong's
strand, from which it is separated by some rocks. It is not yet developed
and thus affords some privacy. At the back of the beach are accommodations.
The waters contain extensive coral reefs. |
| Kamala is a Muslim fishing village
north of Patong. Tourist development on the beach much of which is
covered by a Muslim graveyard and a police outpost has been slow in
coming. Buffalo herds still come down to the beach to cool off in
the afternoon. The beach is beautiful and about 2 kms. in length.
There are accommodations ranging from guesthouse to international
class, and a number of small Thai restaurants specializing in seafood
for the tourist. Kamala is the perfect place to get away from it all
and has little to offer in the way of entertainment for that go across
the mountains to Patong. Regular bus service to and from Phuket Town
during daytime; tuk-tuk service available to Patong, 5 kms. away on
the new road. |
