Welcome to Patong, the vibrant beach town on Phuket's west coast that is a haven for tourists seeking a lively nightlife and exciting shopping experiences. With its stunning 2850-meter beach and bustling streets, Patong has become a popular destination for travelers from around the world. While some may find the allure of Patong Beach in Phuket irresistible, my personal experience left me underwhelmed. The once picturesque destination has been heavily impacted by tourism, with constant offers of goods and services from eager locals. Despite its popularity, the commercialization and overcrowding may not appeal to all travelers.

This was an amazing experience and definitely must do in Thailand! Seeing the gorgeous elephants in person was such a surreal experience. We were late but the staff were waiting for us which we really appreciated. The Lady showing how the paper from elephant poop is made was super sweet too!
