Are you the type of person whom everyone calls quite “the party animal”? Are Fridays your favourite day of the week cause it’s the official day to let down your hair and party? If yes, to the above questions you’re gonna feel right at home in Patong, the designated ‘party capital of Asia’! Where is it? Why, Thailand of course!
Patong is a beautiful beach resort town located on the west coast of Phuket Island. This is a tourist’s heaven as there so many cool things to do here for tourists. You can check into a luxury Phuket hotel the likes of the Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas, and pamper yourself with the finer things in life. You can try your hand at a range of adventurous water sports like snorkelling, diving, kayaking and jet skiing. And of course, you can head over to Patong and party from dusk till dawn.
The powdery sands of Patong Beach are lined with many cool cafés, bars, restaurants and nightclubs, and the many neon lights emanating out of all these at night create a simply dazzling effect. There are various streets in Patong that cater to different sorts of entertainment. In Soi Vegas, for instance, you will find a range of brightly lit beer bars and a couple of ladyboy and go-go bars. Then there’s Soi Gonzo, Soi Hollywood, and Soi Viking as well.
After a whole night of dancing, your feet will probably feel sore. And so will your neck after all that head banging. The cure? Head over to the many massage parlours where you can get a soothing Thai massage that will relieve you of those tensed muscles and take you on a blissful journey that will probably get rid of that splitting headache from your hangover.
