Patong is the liveliest beach town on Phuket's west coast, a wide bay of pale sand with a busy seafront of hotels, bars and water sports operators. The apartment is on the town's streets, a short walk from the sand, and it is a practical choice for those who want the evening life of the town close at hand.

Bangla Road, 350 m away, is Patong's best-known nightlife street, lined with bars, clubs and live music. Jungceylon Shopping Center, 500 m away, is a large complex of shops and dining. Freedom Beach, 2.7 km away, is a secluded sandy cove, while Karon Beach, 3.6 km away, offers a longer stretch of sand. Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong), 6.7 km away, is one of Phuket's most important Buddhist temples. A taxi or a rented scooter is the usual way to reach the beaches further afield.

A relaxed day can start on Patong Beach, move to the shops at Jungceylon in the afternoon and end with an evening walk along Bangla Road. For something different, head to Freedom Beach or the longer sands of Karon Beach, or make the trip to the hilltop Big Buddha. Back in town, the beach road fills with bars and street-food stalls once the sun goes down.
