Patong Beach
Scenic spot
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.

Incredible place. Theming and details were unbelievable. Food/drinks and games/rides were expensive but that's expected in a Disneyland-like place. Show was great, and be sure to check out the "toylet"! Lots of things to do to fill time.

At first it felt like it was just an amusement park, very bright, but still ordinary. But then we went to dinner (be sure to get tickets with dinner, it's very large-scale!). It was incredibly delicious and varied! And then the show began 😍 It's worth every penny, you won't see anything like it anywhere else, so it's worth going

Booked this cooking class due to many good reviews and I love their recipe menu to choose from. 1 person can choose 4 dishes from each category. Super organised! Driver arrived earlier than pick us time to wait for us from hotel. Luckily we are 10 mins earlier. Very happy with the cooking class and easy teaching methods. We started from 1 pm pick up and left cooking academy for hotel at 4 pm. Very good guide and chef to guide us how to cook. Strongly recommended !

Purchasing this 2 attraction pass was great value - used the pass on the Phi Phi Islands and the James Bond Island tour. Both excursions were unforgettable, full day and top quality experiences.
