Pros:
+ Free showers and bathrooms,
+ many streetfood stalls (including coconut ice-cream!),
+ lots of water-activities offered.
+ Almost excellent pavements for kick-scooters/skates.
+ Also there are ramps for handicapped people everywhere, which is awesome!
+ Aaand, almost forgot - an artificial wave (surf house patong) is here also!)
+ 2022.01 - not really crowded compared to 2018th, thanks to COVID19 =)
Cons:
- Some annoying beach sellers.
- Lacks water-taps for foot-washing after leaving the beach.

Patong beach is awesome. They do a great job of keeping it clean and free from litter. Only a few small vendors selling goods and those are actually nice to have.

Patong Beach is a very prayerful beach with bright lights all the time. The water is clear and there are tourists swimming all day long. The food is delicious. When the night falls, I think it's one of the cities in Thailand that has never been quiet but cooked in style.

First time to Patong Beach, stayed at the northern end of the beach which appeared less busy. Overall this is a very busy beach vs many others on the island, not my kind of a beach.

So many more options on Phuket, I have no idea why people come here. Stayed for about 2 hours on a 2 week holiday. Loads of hawkers (like every few minutes) dodgy looking boat and jet ski rental, lots of tattooed pink people. Overcrowded and uninspiring.

The beach was nice and clean, sea was clear and the waves were not big, so that is a big plus. During the covid times, there were just a couple of people, you can almost get a feeling of a private beach. One negative is there are a lot of salers trying to sell you all kind of things all the time.

A great beach for sun, sand and jet skiing, parasailing but no water skiing. It was not a good spot for surfing. The waves were small and the water very shallow going out from the beach. Reminded me of a baseball or american football game with all the people working the beach selling drinks, food, clothes and desserts. Almost no restrooms so be prepared to do what you need to in the water. I am glad I was not here when it was really busy.

What should we do with the bag or telephone with us on the beach? Is it safe to leave the bag alone?

we were four, so we bathed two and two first on the trip. but in the end we dared to leave the bags alone by the sun loungers. maybe buy a waterproof bag. :)

Transportation:
Private taxi to Patong = 800 Baht
Smart Bus to Patong = 175 Baht (go to their website for bus schedule)
Mini-bus to Patong = 200 Bhat (as mentioned you need to wait until it is full)
Hotels:
I will recommend in Patong = The Royal Paradise Hotel & Spa.
My family and I are planning to join the speedboat tour... How long is the duration for the tour and will we get wet?

if you are planning phi phi, then would request you to ask what all will be covered, as its recommended you stay overnight to enjoy the whole or in a day you can have 2 option
1. go to phi phi stay have lunch and return
2. go to phi phi, then go ahead to see the other small attractions, like caves, monkey island, etc
so ask the operator for inclusions

How much baht does it cost to parasail in Patong Beach?
It is 1300 baht at Karon, wanting to know if it’s cheaper at Patong please.

Also if the sail gets wet do not parasail. Seen some people drop outa the sky a few times because of this. That's just I the last couple of weeks at Patong.

What would you say would be the daily spending allowance for food and also for first time to Patong and Thailand what tours would you recommend to get an overall look. We are there for 12 days . One more question also what currency do you suggest and also is card or cash better. Thanks Janelle. Whoops forgot one thing what is the cost of transfer from airport to Patong and do you have to prebook

Only use ATM's and you will get the best daily rates. They are plentyful so no need to carry very much money on you.
Surrin beach
Bang Tao beach
Nia Harn Beach
These beaches are cleaner
Visit the Temples Big Buddha is the most popular.
Spend the day at Nia Harn Beach then go to Phrom Thep Cape to watch the sunset before heading back for night life in Patong.
Thai bbq is a fun experience hassasipi rd has the best one.
If you like Dim Sum Mala in Kata/Karon is very good and well priced.
Day Trips like Phi phi island and James Bond Island (only use Diamond Sea Boat Tours!) Dont accept any other operator.
Naka night market is great for buying gifts i wouldn't shop anywhere else.
Dont rent Scooters or Motorcycles unless you want to die!
Transfer by Nana Taxi 700baht
Lots of decent meals at the night markets
7/11s have locked pricing less rip offs
Super cheap purple signs have the cheapest beer Nanai road
Daily spending wow seriouy depends $2 and up for draught...Bangla can drain you fast if you dont watch.
Never leave drinks unattended
Half full moons money grabs!but you might enjoy it.
