his
is Phuket's central tourist and night time entertainment district.
Over the years, Patong has turned from a fishing village into one
of the island's two cities. The famous bay and 4 km. beach is know
as a centre of entertainment with restaurants catering to every
nationality. Live music can be found in most pubs and bars.
Accommodations range from budget to five-star. Shopping
opportunities appear to be endless. In addition, there are many
tour companies waiting to help visitors plan their vacations. Some
of the options available are listed below. 
Kamala is a
Muslim fishing village north of Patong. Tourist development on the
beach much of which is covered by a Muslim graveyard and a police
outpost has been slow in coming. Buffalo herds still come down to
the beach to cool off in the afternoon. The beach is beautiful and
about 2 kms. in length. There are accommodations ranging from
guesthouse to international class, and a number of small Thai
restaurants specializing in seafood for the tourist. Kamala is the
perfect place to get away from it all and has little to offer in
the way of entertainment for that go across the mountains to
Patong. Regular bus service to and from Phuket Town during
daytime; tuk-tuk service available to Patong, 5 kms. away on the
new road.
This
beach is really a continuation north of Patong's strand, from
which it is separated by some rocks. It is not yet developed and
thus affords some privacy. At the back of the beach are
accommodations. The waters contain extensive coral reefs.
A well planned
raceway and high–powered go–karts await go-karting
enthusiasts. Located over the hill northeast of Patong at 118/5 Vichit
Songkram Rd., near Kathu District office.
