Top Patong Hotel Reviews
Amari Phuket
"Great area"
Phuket Marriott Resort & Spa, Merlin Beach
"Staff so delightful & helpful would recommend to all friends & family will start planning our next visit."
Aspery Hotel
"Maids quite reasonable with simple requests for fresh towels and if the "Do not disturb" sign is hung on the door handle, they still provide the routine two bottles of water from their cart... because they do not enter the room. Reception man last night was decent enough to tell me that extending my stay by several days might be cheaper "online", but it was 27 Baht more per night with Expedia... so, I walked down from the 5th level and negotiated a week-long rate with him. I do not use A/C; curtains and balcony door open all the time; great light. This visit I am directly above the lobby; last time, the Annex building..."
Courtyard by Marriott Phuket, Patong Beach Resort
"Hotel was very clean, rooms were big and spacious. The staff were helpful and respectful, allowed me to check in early and check out late. Very happy with this hotel, location is perfect right near the beach, convenience stores and many restaurants. Very happy with this hotel. The only comment I will leave for the hotel is why is the snooker table in that position? My son fell off the step next too it and i am sure he wont he the last to do it, have a look where it is."
The Nature Phuket
"This hotel has a perfect location for Phuket night life. The hotel was clean and very accommodating."
Diamond Cliff Resort & Spa, Patong Beach
"We got upgraded our room. It’s very nice and comfortable"
Hotel Indigo Phuket Patong by IHG
"Cutesy hotel in the busy Patong, about 40 min ride (because of traffic) from Old Town, Buddha statue and 5 min from Dolphin public beach. Everyone here is so nice and helpful. The tiki bar has an awful Old Fashioned (and I didn’t try anything else)."
Grand Mercure Phuket Patong
"I love the way where the staff recognized I'm a regular and bought me a beer when i check in. Feels good to be back!"
Crest Resort & Pool Villas
"Beautiful property and friendly staff"

Patong Travel Guide
The main tourist beach on the island of Phuket, Patong sits on the west coast of this island destination in southern Thailand. In 2004, Patong was struck by the tsunami, but today there is little evidence of this, and it is again the centre of the island’s nightlife and shopping. It is easy to get to Patong from anywhere else on the island, including the airport. There are airport express buses that go to the beach town, while regular buses link it to Phuket Town. It is also possible to take a songthaew (local bus) from anywhere else on the island. Alternatively, there are metered taxis, tuk-tuks and motorbike taxis.
Don’t MissNo visitor will run out of things to see and do in Patong, with its beaches, shopping malls, spas and parties.
Beach lovers don’t have to leave the beach for days as there are activities right on the beach. Visitors can go swimming, sunbathing or get a massage. For something more exciting, hire a jet ski, or go water-skiing or wakeboarding. There is good snorkelling at the far north end of the beach. KUDO Beach Club is one of the trendiest spots on the beach, offering a pool party every Friday and a colourful Caribbean Carnival every Sunday. Paradise Beach Club, in addition to offering plenty of activities, also hosts a monthly full moon and half-moon party.
Those that want to get off the beach should try these activities; ziplining over the tree tops of Phuket’s rainforest, go-karting along a race track, wakeboarding at an obstacle course and swimming under Kathu Waterfall.
Restaurants and BarsThere are so many eating and drinking options in Patong that it can be overwhelming. No matter what you crave, chances are you will find it in Patong. Taweewong Road, Rat-U-Thit Road and Bangla Road are where most of the action is, though it is possible to find a place to eat or drink on every street in Patong. There are also places to eat inside Jungceylon shopping mall and a food court that sells Thai fast food inside Banzaan Market. For upmarket dining, try one of the restaurants in the luxury hotels.
ShoppingAt night, Patong turns into a night bazaar, with the roads filled with stalls selling everything from handicrafts to beachwear. Malin Plaza Patong is another good place to shop for souvenirs, clothing and beachwear at night, as is the Paradise Night Market. Those who like to shop in an air-conditioned mall should head to Jungceylon Shopping Complex, which has over 200 shops, a large supermarket and even a shopping arcade dotted with vendors selling all sorts of goods.
