Nice beach, a bit low class, and can be a bit dirty, the most popular beach on the island. Easy access lots to do, water sports food, massages.

Sand is nice and fine, but too touristy. There were too many people selling things such as t-shirts, sarongs, sun glasses, food, drinks, aloevera, mani and pedi, hair braiding and also semi permanent tatoo.

There are so many beaches to choose from in Phuket but Patong beach is not bad but if you prefer not to be bothered by sellers of all sorts of crap, I would suggest the nearby Paradise Beach which is small but very lovely indeed and doesn't have sellers.

Honestly speaking if you are looking for a better beach please go over to other beaches like Karon or Kata beach much beautiful but maybe you need to get a transport to go there.

While Patong is a bit more "Ibiza" than most of Phuket it does have a great beach. If you like jet skiing and being surrounded by cool beach front bars then this is your type of beach.

On our first day, we couldn't believe the rubbish coming in with the tide. swimming between the plastic bags was a horrible experience.

10 days at Patong Beach, it's still the best beach on Phuket yet the Municipality should have made efforts to clean up the beach on days after heavy storm. The beach is totally clattered with all kinds of rubbish, just have a look at the pictures. I still rate the place quite highly, although the whole stretch of beach doesn't... More
