Patong is one of Phuket's best-known resort areas, a busy town of beach bars, restaurants and shops that stays lively late into the evening. Street-food stalls and massage shops line the main streets, and both the sand and the nightlife are close to Patong Hemingway's Hotel. The area suits visitors who want a lively base on the island rather than a quiet one.

Patong Beach is 650 m away and Bangla Road, the street of bars and clubs, is 400 m from the hotel. Phuket is linked to the mainland by a bridge, so arriving by car is simple, and Phuket International Airport is 24.3 km away. Further afield, Chaithararam Temple, known as Wat Chalong, is 6.5 km away and is the most revered Buddhist temple on the island, while the Big Buddha statue on a hilltop is 7.4 km away.

A good day could begin on the sand at Patong Beach, continue with a visit to Wat Chalong, and end with an evening show at Phuket FantaSea. Bangla Road is the place for a late drink once the show is over. Because Wat Chalong and the Big Buddha are further from Patong, it helps to plan them as a separate outing.
