Patong is Phuket's main beach resort, a town municipality on the west coast whose 2,850 m beach runs the full length of its west side.1 Western, mostly European, visitors took to it in the late 1980s, and it is now the center of the island's nightlife and shopping.1 It belongs to Kathu district, not to Mueang Phuket, and lies about 15 km from Phuket Town.32

Bangla Road, the nightlife strip and the island's best-known walking street, cuts across the middle of town between Beach Road and Rat-U-Thit 200 Pi Road.21 The cafés sit back from it, on Rat-U-Thit, on Nanai Road and in the lanes between, and they keep later hours than most on the island: only about one in four closes by 18:00.

Local tip: Before the beach, Chanjaow Bakery opens at 07:00 and I-Kroon Cafe Espresso on Soi Nanairoumjai at 08:30; Campus's Patong branch doesn't open until 10:00.

Coffee chains in Patong

Three roads parallel to the beach

Beach Road (Thawiwong) follows the sand, Rat-U-Thit 200 Pi Road runs a few hundred meters inland, and Nanai Road, about 500 m further back, is quieter, residential and cheaper.2 A bypass runs behind the Jungceylon mall and the Banzaan fresh market; Jungceylon opens 11:00–22:00 from May to October and until 23:00 from November to April.2

Most of Patong is walkable. For longer hops there are motorbike taxis and metered taxis; the songthaew minivans have no meter, so agree the price before you get in.2

Patong's late cafés sit close to the nightlife. Eddiez Nutrition Station and Phuketurk serve until 23:00, Pupa until 22:00, and Sandwich Shoppe cafe & Bar in Aroonsom Plaza until 23:45. Nightlife centers on Bangla Road and the Paradise Complex, and Bangla's own sois are named Crocodile, Eric, Gonzo and Seadragon.12 Inside Jungceylon, the SF cinema and bowling alley run until 01:00.2

Rooms get cheaper in the low and rainy season.2 For a quiet morning table, head to Nanai Road, the residential street furthest from the sand.2
