 Patong Beach

There are many signs of Buddhism threaded into every day life in Phuket, and temples are the most obvious. Wat Chalong (the largest temple on the island) is a great place to witness first hand the uniqueness and beauty of this eastern religion.Orange robed monks are frequently seen walking the streets, and statues of the Buddha can be found absolutely everywhere.An interesting characteristic of Thailand, when compared to many other southeastern countries, is the fact that women are actively involved in business affairs and the arts. Thai is the country’s official language, |
with Lao, Chinese, Malay, and Mon-Khmer also spoken. English is taught in secondary schools and is also used in government and commerce. In most tourist areas, communicating in English is not a problem.

 Activities
The Beach
The Beach Probably the best beach in Phuket, Patong's 3,000 metres of white sand gently curves around a bay fringed with casuarina trees. Plenty of room to laze around in your deck-chair (umbrella and side table provided) take a stroll along the seashore, read a book, or join a local friendly football match at sundown.If you feel a quick energy burst, |
 |
you could hire a small catamaran (with such a large bay, you're not likely to go off-course) go parasailing for an alternative aerial view, or hire a boat and go fishing and snorkelling around the coast. If that sounds too energetic, have a pedicure or a massage under the shade of a tree. Or just relax and sip your fresh coconut.

Attractions
Phuket’s most developed beach offers numerous leisure, sporting, shopping and recreational options along its 3-kilometre-long crescent bay. Windsurfing, snorkeling, sailing, swimming and sunbathing number among popular daytime activities. Patong is equally well known for its vibrant nightlife, among which seafood restaurants prominently feature.During the day, the beach is the centre of the action in Patong |
 |
with people relaxing, throwing a Frisbee, swimming (areas are cordoned off to separate swimmers from water sports) or simply chatting with new found friends you could hire a small catamaran (with such a large bay, you're not likely to go off-course) go parasailing for an alternative aerial view, or hire a boat and go fishing and snorkelling around the coast. If that sounds too energetic, have a pedicure or a massage under the shade of a tree. Or just relax and sip your fresh coconut.

Banana boat
another popular activity when tourists want some action on the beach. And action it's what you get, so hold on tight while the big yellow banana is picking up speed skimming across the bay behind the speedboat. And after a fun and bumpy ride you will all fall in the water as the speedboat take a very sharp turn. |

Spa & Massage
Traditional Thai massage is quite unlike Western versions, involving a combination of assisted stretching and acupressure, rather than manipulation of muscles. Don't worry though, in busy Patong every known variation of massage treatment is readily available at any one of a hundred establishments. |
