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.

The view was great and I enjoyed the massage while listening to the sound of the waves. It was very hot that day, but the breeze made it cool. The staff was very kind and the explanations and massage were thorough. To be honest, I thought the price was a little high, but I recommend it if you want to enjoy a quiet atmosphere!

This tour was the highlight of the trip. The elephants are doing very well there, everything was explained clearly in English. You could feed the elephants, take pictures and touch them - it was really great and a lot of fun. There are 27 elephants living there at the moment and each of them has their own family who look after them. Afterwards you could wash the elephants and cool off yourself - it was a very successful morning! The people there are very nice and helpful.

Very good, very comfortable. The location is very good. The technicians are very good. It is different from the usual essential oil massage. Although the acupoint oil massage is a bit painful, the whole body will loosen after the massage.

The transfer situation was okay. We missed the transport there but was able to use it back to hotel. However, the show was great! Costumes, dances and energy was worth going to see! I would recommend. Pictures and videos not allowed during the show.
