Phuket what to do Patong Beach Nightlife

Patong beach, Phuket Hotels, Phuket nightlife, Phuket pictures, Phuket massage, Phuket island, Phuket auf Deutsch, Phuket beach

 

Phuket Thailand and Patong beach plus nightlife

makes a excellent vacation destination with plenty of flights everyday, beautiful beaches, great Phuket nightlife, which is real Thailand nightlife set in the emerald Andaman Sea. Phuket weather is mostly sunny, even during monsoon when the rain really pours down, after a while the sun is shining again, this fact makes the island a genuine all year round vacation destination also Patong beach is busy throughout the year.

Southern Thailand offers a diversity of vacation and holiday related themes and availability for rather moderate prices. This pricing spectrum covers a wide range, there are cheap hotels and luxury resorts - hotels. The same is for restaurants, villas, beach bungalows, nightlife and so on and it wont end there and when getting tired take a famous Phuket massage and visit Bangla road to relax with  some Phuket girls.

Several low cost airlines

operate flights to Phuket airport for very moderate prices, notable Tiger Airways from Singapore and Air Asia within south east Asia plus several low cost airlines in Thailand such as Nok Air some of them also have booking facilities for Phuket hotels. The National Flag Carrier Thai Airways International sometimes can match prices of the other airlines but Thai Airways usually are bureaucrats who lost the touch to the time, they are only reasonable when you book a international flight to Thailand and add a flight to Phuket, Chiang Mai, Krabi, Trang, Hat Yai and elsewhere as an extension to the international sector, Phuket pictures tell more. 

About 100 km to the north of the island is one of the best diving destinations in the world, that’s around the Similan islands close to Khao Lak. Sightseeing and day trip options are plenty including the Phang Nga Bay to the east where they made several great movies, among them a James Bond movie (on the now called James Bond Island) and Phi Phi Island further south in Krabi Provincewhere they shot “The Beach” with Leonardo di Caprio on famous Maya Beach.

The Phi Phi Islands are easily accessible from Rasada Pier in the town via several ferries every day at 8am. The island is a genuine beach destination where everyone can find just the right beach. Rent a car or a motorbike and just start driving along the west coast starting from Nay Yang Beach is a good winding road from where most of the popular beaches can be accessed such at Kata Beach, Karon Beach, Patong Beach, Kamala Beach, Surin Beach and more to the north. Almost all those beaches have some hotels and resorts somewhere nearby and the road offers breathtaking panoramas over the Andaman Sea. Since there are also restaurants at every beach its easy to do some beach hopping, all this is within about 50km lengths.

Beaches are plenty

and different in terns of sand quality and appearance such as long beach, short beach, bay beach and so on.

They offer various activities, among the usually beach live also playing with the elephant in the water and almost at every beach Phuket beach massage. If you come in with a boat you probably will use Chalong Bay pier. Chalong Bay is popular with smaller boats / ships.

For many people the island is a great vacation destination with plenty of

Phuket beaches.

For other a place to make money, lots of hotels and Beach Resorts supply thousands of jobs for Thai people of northern Thailand and elsewhere. There are lots of foreigners working in the hospitality business at the hotels and with liveaboard and scuba diving tours, this are very often people from the west who found a

appropriate job where those skills are needed such as scuba diving instructor etc.. There are also other people working on Phuket Island from Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Philippines, Myanmar, Laos plus plenty of Chinese and Japanese, most of them do business in Phuket night markets, restaurants, shops, construction and elsewhere. Some simply come for a round of Phuket Golf since there are plenty of Golf Courses and Golf Clubs on the Island.


Phuket Nightlife

Patong Phuket

is a great nightlife vacation  destination. The island is first of all an inexpensive very easy going holiday destination with a great Phuket nightlife. Hotels, resorts, apartments, bungalows, cottages and guesthouses can be found in all price categories and ratings and prices are considerably cheaper then what one

would encounter in Europe or America. There is a excellent network of transportation to and from Phuket. At the Phuket bus terminal in Phuket Town, just opposite the "Royal Phuket City Hotel" buses are leaving to all destinations in southern Thailand and Phuket Bangkok. There is a Phuket to Hat Yai bus every hour during daytime, other buses are leaving for Krabi, Trang, Ranong, Satun etc. if someone wants to travel from Phuket to Malaysia by bus or Phuket to Singapore by bus it needs to change the bus at Hat Yai or Padang Besar which is the at the Thai Malaysian border a couple of kilometers to the west before reaching the normally used border

crossing at Sadao. Sadao has an unbelievable nightlife even better than Hat Yai. Car rentals and motor bike rentals in Phuket are plenty, the best is Phuket car rent. Phuket flights are many so various domestic and international destinations such as Singapore, Kuala Lumpur etc. travel to Myanmar needs to go through Bangkok airport and from there to Yangon. Since they issue visas at arrival at Yangon airport now its an easy and quick trip. A quick trip could work like this, take the

Phuket Bangkok bus

at around 4pm from the bus terminal, arrival at Bangkok's southern bus terminal is around 4.30am. Hop on the taxi to Suvarnabhumi airport (about Baht 250,- plus toll) and take the morning flight to Yangon by Air Asia the flight leaves between 7 and 8am, they change this from time to time. This flight from Bangkok to Yangon is also the cheapest one. If you are a guy

bus to Bangkok
Phuket town Bangkok Bus

you can have a great time with Myanmar  nightlife and Myanmar model girls, its worth it, its different ! 

Plenty of other destinations are reachable via flights every day.

Wat Chalong
Wat Chalong Phuket

If you like some sightseeing book a tour into the island world of the Phang Nga Bay. Chalong is in the middle between Phuket Town and Rawai, Wat Chalong is the most venerated temple and monastery on the island. The temple and pagoda festivals at Wat Chalong draw thousands of devotees every year. Loy Krathong or the festival of light 

is together with the water festival and the Vegetarian Festival the most important on the sland. Another well known event is the Kings Cup Regatta at Phuket. At  Yacht Heaven Marina the big yachts and sailing ships are coming in for having a good time with Phuket sailing. The place is somehow in between a ancient travel route, not only came the English and Portuguese on their quest for the spice islands of the far east, also

today the island is at the tourist crossroads, means Phuket to Krabi and Phuket to Penang plus Phuket to Kuala Lumpur and naturally Phuket to Bangkok. To get a better idea of all this it needs some  Phuket History and Phuket Photos and Phuket Videos. This is not a stand alone Thailand travel destination there are plenty of Phuket Baches, such as Karon and other. If you like golf you are also at the right destination, here is a Phuket Map to put all this in context. One of the best Thailand National Parks is Khao Sok a two hour drive to the north east. If you are a nightlife lover  is for sure one of the best, in global terms. As you can see this is a travel destination for the individual traveler and the family.

Coming to Phuket Thailand

mean you enter vacation county, beaches, golf, nightclub's, bar's, restaurant's all in the relaxed atmosphere of Phuket Thailand.

If you come to with a car, a flight via the airport (there are also flights by amphibian or water airplanes) or with the bus, you will come into the island via highway 402, heading south.

A couple of kilometers before the airport are several branch roads to luxury beach hotels at Laguna and one up market golf club.

Laguna
Phuket Laguna

At Laguna are several luxury hotels and villas for rent and sale. Several tin mines have been operating there in the past and after the tin mines got exhausted the decision was made to fill up the mines with water, call it Laguna and develop the area as a Thailand luxury destination. Aside of the lagoons is Bangtao Beach which give a perfect vacation setting. At the circle around the Heroines’ Monument (of the two brave ladies who were leading the defense of against the invading Burmese army a few hundred years ago) is a right turn to Phuket Laguna beach resorts, villas and Bangtao Beach.

Laguna is an attractive assembly of up market luxury hotels and villas, about 20 kilometers from the city or Patong Beach, its about 30km to the southern tip at Cap Panwa and Rawai. The route to the city (via the bypass road) leads directly to the shopping mall strip on the west outskirts of the town centre, around the city are no beaches.

Every Phuket beach

has a different characteristic, there are the small beaches such as Laem Sung Beach between Surin and Kamala Beach. There are the around 1 km beaches such as Karon Beach and Patong Beach and the other beaches north of Nay Yang Beach which are several km long this are notably Mai Khao Beach and Bangtao Beach, most of the luxury hotels are located there. 

The sun is burning, the Andaman Sea is reflecting a emerald sparkle, the fishes are happy ( I guess, actually I didn't ask them) , crabs are running on the beaches as usual. The corals off the island are in good conditions, all with great colors and swinging in the stream. Elephant rides are very popular among tourists but unfortunately the 2 leg elephant master try to squeeze out money from the foreigner real badly, better think 3 times before you climb on the back of the poor elephant in Phuket Thailand.

Famous Phuket nightlife and excellent hotels for every size of wallet are just around the corner; Thai girls (and the ones who look like a girl but are not and because of this they are called ladyboys) are also trying to make you happy wont matter if you are a guy or a girl, Thai people are flexible and Phuket girls are real great.

You probably come to the island for a beautiful tropical beach with clean turquoise or emerald waters on one of the islands around. Karon beach, Patong beach, Kamala beach and Kata beach are the top contender. Kata beach is the surf destination.

Hungry? try famous Thai seafood, try this at Kang Eng beach restaurant about 200 meter before the Chalong circle when you come from Phuket City. Below is a huge lobster, some different crabs and a splendid fish, just taken out from the water basin at the Kan Eng Restaurant at near Chalong Circle. The tasty seafood is served fresh and right at the waterfront at Chalong Bay, the branch road to the Kan Eng seafood restaurant is difficult to find.

have the usual Thai food plus the catch of the day. Very popular Thai dishes are based on noodles and naturally seafood. Usually Thai restaurants offer the same food either with noodles or with rice. This again has variants, e.g. there are the spaghetti types of noodles and very popular are the so called glass noodles, very fine noodles also used in some seafood salads, called in Thai “jam bunsen”.

Rice comes as boiled rice, fried rice and some other variants. Potatoes are not usual in Thai food servings except when ordering some kind of curry dishes, “masaman” curry comes with potatoes.

Patong nightlife

is another reason why many tourists visit each year on holiday. Many tourists seem to keep coming back each year especially the for nightlife and bars, here is more on Thai nightlife. Most nightlife venues can be found at Patong beach. Bars & clubs are located along Bangla Road including the very popular Tiger disco and Seduction Disco´, more

Patong beach Phuket
Phuket Patong Bangla Road

Bangla Road is the premier nightlife destination on the island.  That's the best nightlife area in the world related to ladies, easily beats, Las Vegas, New York, Rio, Mombassa, Manila and other. This is another reason why many tourists come back every year on holiday, here is more on Thai nightlife. Most island nightlife venues can be found at Patong beach along the well known Soi Bangla and elsewhere. A number of clubs are located along including the very popular Tiger disco, Seduction Disco and dozens of other bars etc. read more.

Hundreds of beer bars are around plus plus hundreds of Thai Bar girls and Soi Girls. Each beer bar has a number of beautiful Thai ladies working for them who there to please the clients.

Phuket what to do

If someone asks for Junk Ceylon, this was the old name during ancient times. One of the newer shopping malls at Phuket Patong is jungceylon Patong, people also call it Young Ceylon Patong they changed the first word it wont sound good, more on history you can find below.

- Surgery, surgery is available in the International Hospital and the  Phuket Bangkok Hospital. At the town are some offices, offering skin rejuvenation treatments with botox and other methods.

- Massage is offered virtually on every road where a tourist might come. Special massage for men is also available, the two best places for special massage is the Pearl Hotel massage parlor in the town and Christine Massage in Patong, there are some other massage parlors but the 2 mentioned are the biggest.

- Prices for ladies -short time- at Patong, Bangla Road, are about Baht 1500,- to 2000,- whole night are similar. Beer prices are always between Baht 80,- and Baht 120,- for a small Heineken beer in the bottle.

- Shops for tailor made clothes are plenty, you will stumble into one every 100 meter at the main tourist area, but be aware they might be cheap, so is the stuff you get in returns. All this tailor made shops are run by guys of Indian origin, some also Nepali and Bangladeshi.

If you order something, they give all details to some Thai people who do the actual tailor work elsewhere, many time the communication over this 3  corners wont work and junk is the result, be very careful. I know this because I tried it and junk was what I got, don't let your lure into a buying atmosphere, the guys are very clever to give you a good feeling, but this are not more than sales tricks. There are also plenty of other fashion stores at the shopping malls at bypass road.

Phuket Island Shopping

Going shopping is a subject in 3 variants. At the tourist centers on the west coast are myriads of shops all selling the same stuff. Like cheap fashion cloth, shoes, handbags, plastic ware and tailor made clothing, the subject of bootleg movies and software plus fake designer clothing is somehow under control. Its seen very seldom this days -2011-.

Some are still selling copy DVD movies and software but only in the backroom somewhere, it didn't disappear completely but almost. Also the shops with all the copy watches became less. Instead there are plenty of shops with nice watches with fantasy names.

Over the last few years however, a number of large shopping malls have opened where many international retailers, unique local local shops plus international restaurant outlets such as Burger King, MacDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut etc.. but however it is turned the most exiting shopping is still at the night markets. Another shopping mall has opened at Patong some time ago called Jung Ceylon, its the biggest shopping mall on the west coast with more than 200 shops, supermarkets and restaurants.

In the center of Jungceylon shopping mall at Patong is a open area with water shows, sometimes concerts and a a sailing ship at about original size. It's a nice place to go with the children, there is always some action.

Central Festival Shopping Mall and Tesco Lotus Mall along the by-pass road are other shopping malls around the same area are several other huge shopping malls, they open another one every 3 month, traffic congestion is heavy and get worst by the day. Mainly because the whole area is not very organized in terms of traffic - infrastructure. Especially the traffic light are switched in a way to make a gridlock certain.

Some up market shopping and dining can be done in the Royal Marina. Some galleries and apartment buildings are also around. Visitors from all over the

world come and plenty expatriates are around who settled here for business, travel and scuba diving or pursue their lifelong dream of living on a island. Many of the old establishments of the charming colonial times are still visible at the city some of the villas have a original marvelous Portuguese Chinese style survived until today.

Phuket town history exploration could be a interesting daytrip, there is a lot see. There are several Chinese temples, Museums, such as tin mining museum and more. Restaurants, shopping and maybe stay into the night and browse Phuket nightlife, when you ask yourself, Phuket what to do, that's an answer, more.

Stay in Phuket makes almost everyone happy, there is an easy going atmosphere, the infrastructure is more or less ok, actually it's the best behind Singapore of any south east Asian destination, its possible to see that there is plenty of tourist money coming in which is used to improve the island instead as disappearing into black holes, more.   

Also interesting is Phang Nga and Krabi at west and north, further north is Ranong, a real insider tip. Ranong has relative the lowest population density of all provinces in Thailand, a great Andaman Sea in front and a interesting fishery harbor, actually the biggest harbor in the Thai Andaman Sea.

Phuket marinas and scuba diving

more or less at the doorsteps is another great diving destination. Its beyond Ranong in the Myanmar or Burma Mergui or Myeik Archipelago.

About 100 km to the north of the island is the Similan Islands a

Yacht Haven Marina
Yacht Haven Marina

great scuba destination integrated into a Thai Marine National Park. From there again 100 km to the north is the Surin Islands Archipelago with some villages of the Sea Gypsies called Moken in Thailand and Salon in Myanmar or Burma. Another about 100 km to the north east is one the most interesting Thailand National Parks, its Khao Sok National Park includes jungle trekking and a huge reservoir with floating villages and drifting accommodations all in bamboo, great scenery and more.

Visit the national parks only when there is good weather and don't go on a caving trip when there is rainy weather since it happen every year that flash floods are building up somewhere in a cave, the flashflood comes you are gone. Almost every year some tourists perish in this kind of tours.

Nightlife massage beach bar and more

the main 3 places where you can experience this to full extend are Patong and Karon beach plus Phuket City. See the photos from Patong Beach, Karon Beach and  pictures from all other beaches below and via the links below. Aside of the great photo and picture you will find several interesting videos in the video section via the link at the menu. A other great Beach Phuket is Kamala Beach plus Kata Beach, Surin Beach, Bangtao Beach and many more. Beaches have fine sand and sometimes granite boulders at both ends, as you can see in the photo below. Staying on the island can be cheap or expensive, secluded or crowded, loud, vibrant or vulgar it offers something for everyone. The island has a great atmosphere, there is Phuket Town or City with still a little bit of a colonial flair, there

are some small ports or rather marinas and there is the Andaman Sea, a emerald ocean with archipelagos, coral banks and a abundant underwater life with very big whale sharks and very small creatures.

Phuket can be a holiday destination,

a temporary residence or long-term exile, Phuket is the right place for it. Most people are quite happy with the life at Phuket Island here, relax at the beach, have a drink at the terrace of one of the Phuket beach resorts in front of the Andaman Sea and enjoy great Thai food for relatively low prices, compared to Europe, US and even Singapore or Hong Kong. Everyone can have cheap holiday on Phuket Island, or luxury Phuket holidays or vacations. The Phuket luxury is mainly concentrated around Laguna and Bangtao Beach plus further north at Mai Khao Beach. The lower price life, in

particular in terms of house rentals, hotels and beach resort prices is around Karon, Chalong and Rawai Beach.

With around $ 10,- per day plus a apartment somewhere on the island, in town are plenty of apartments for about $ 150,- / month and up you can have a easy living. This could be a quiet living or active living plus a great nightlife where there are dozens of

Phuket Town Thai Curry Chicken

positive thinking young Thai girls around and you pay less than $ 3.- for a small bottle of beer. You deserve the good days when you stand up late, get some Thai food, maybe fried seafood with rice and a coke for about $ 3,- just around the corner in front of the beach. There are other great Phuket restaurants serving Italian food, Chinese food, Indian food and more on the international scale.

New style shopping malls have opened on the island, now everyone has more of less everything virtually just around the corner, no its not the way to heaven but a good and very affordable living.

Have some Thai beach massage or visit a herbal sauna in the afternoon or maybe a Bikram Yoga studio or aup market spa facilities with something for your health. Plus the great Thai massage, if you lay down at almost any beach you will be approached by a women offering the original Phuket beach massage. But be careful most of this fat and ugly massage women do it the hard way. If you want the gentle Thai massage approach there are the Thai massage parlors, preferable visited by the guys who get everything what the want. A very popular and huge Patong massage parlor with dozens of real nice ladies is Christine at Patong and in the first floor of the Pearl Hotel in Phuket Town.

is a part of the Indian Ocean and has several top notch marinas and scuba diving areas more or less at the "doorsteps" and there are other great diving destination to the north in Myanmar  beyond Ranong in the Myanmar Myeik Archipelago which is accessible via live aboard.

The island has grown into one of the premier holiday destinations in South East Asia and is one of the busiest travel destinations of Thailand with plenty of flights every day. It has replaced Bali as the most popular holiday island in the region.

Dining in restaurants or buying drinks in bars or clubs is also much less expensive as what most tourists are used to paying back in their home countries.
