a bit too noisy and too many people yelling, calling in a continuous, non-stop, too much. However for those who like to drink, is fun, but for the rest forgettable. More

One of the most cleanest and safest beach in the world. Crystal clear water and beautiful view of the sunset. Bangla market is super at the night, 10 minutes walk from the beach. A must visit for all! More

Great tourist area to stay. Lots of restaurants, shopping, clubs etc. Beach is so-so. Not bad, not great. Overall a good jumping off point for tours, nightlife, and shopping. More

Patong beach is quite a good beach in the low seasons but in the peak season it is toooo busy for us, you can't get a lounge and not much room for a towel . We always get good massages and always a cold drink from the local venders on the beach. The jet skiers aren't interfering with swimmers . More

Patong beach has many things that you can enjoy. The usual suspects are Jet skis, Parasailing, banna boats ans also on the spot massages (nothing like getting a nice massage in a shaded area while there is a cool breeze to relax you). Beach is big enough for many people to enjoy and you can also get the beach chair... More

Patong beach is definitely over-crowded. Although there are many water sports/ activities there, but be mindful of the crowd. More
