Beach was dirty! every few steps you find new debris. some are shary objects like planks with nails and broken glasses and metal cans. when you walk bare footed on the not wso beautiful beach, it is kind of an extra let down. real mood spoiler.
shopping in the mall is a pretty nice experience here. lots of cheap, good quality stuff to buy.
if you are the kind who like partying in bars w lots of bar girls and boy girls, this is a great place.

We have stayed on Patong Beach 4 times, the first time 2000, it was magic the Thai people so friendly! Last year Nov, i find the Thai people more westernised, which is a pity. Beach is great. Water fantastic!!!

The POK POK Bar on Nanai Road was a great place where we spent several evenings.
We are going back this year.
from Terry and gill.

We loved the beach. By day time, you could get your hair braided and beaded, a manicure, pedicure, full body massage or a foot massage, you could also get your heels peeled.

There is always a fresh fruit trailer nearby so you could buy fresh fruit sliced up or fresh fruit juice. All lovely and cold considering how stinking hot it was.
