Patong is the largest, most developed area on Phuket. It has many budget and mid-priced hotels and guest houses as well has a large variety of discotheques, go-go bars and just plain old bars. There are also many souvenir shops and one quite large shopping mall. It also has a very nice beach. The water is very clean and clear and is great for swimming. The crowd here at this time of year is mostly Scandinavian singles and families...a more upscale group than one finds at Pattaya. There are several direct, nonstop flights from northern Europe during the winter.
There are the typical fast-food places such as McDonalds, Burger King, KFC, Subway, Dairy Queen, Swensen's, Hagen Daz and Starbuck's of course.

The seafood here is very fresh and plentiful
