How’s my first look at Patong Beach? Here are some of my first few travel photos of streets, shops and beach around Patong Beach that many are waiting to see. Please read in conjunction with my story of “From Departure To Arrival At Phuket Island“.
Along the way to Patong Beach, there were many architecture background worth shooting at.
We were approaching the beach now….
Say ‘Hello’ to Patong Beach! We reached our hotel in Patong Beach at about 9:30 in the morning, after some delays with travel agency half way through. It was still early to check in, so we dropped our luggage and back out to the streets for some site seeing around the beach.
Before that, I need a street map of Patong Beach. Please refer to this map when you see the photos below. You will understand better on what I’m going to introduce next.
This is Thaweewong Road, the beach road. Behind the block in front is the beach. Behind me is our Safari Beach Hotel, a 3-star hotel with 5-star location… I would recommend it to all travelers! :)
50 meters right from our hotel is our beloved McDonald’s outlet. 2 doors away is the Air Asia branch at Patong. So convenient!
Further down the beach road are all the exclusive dining outlets and hotels.
Facing those restaurants is the Patong beach. Sun chairs and umbrella were seen everywhere put in line with the beach.
Beautiful beach. Fine sand. Calm sea and clear blue sky… 
50 meters left from our hotel is the most popular street in Patong, the Bangla Street, the ‘Heaven on earth‘ at night… but is lifeless in the day.
These bars will turn into life only at night. Check it out!
At the other end of Bangla Street is Rat-U-Thit Road, the Patong shopping street where souvenirs shops, shopping complex and restaurants are scattered along it.
Quite strange to see rows of shops within the compound of the Royal Paradise Hotel…
You could find luxurious seafood restaurants along the Thaweewong beach road. However, if you are looking for more economical options, these seafood restaurants (photo above) along the Rat-U-Thit Road could be your answer.
What are the things that you could see in all of the above photos except the beach? Bingo! Those bunch of overhead electrical high tension armoured cables! They are everywhere!
What would you think we were going to do next? LUNCH! We were starving! Where did we have our lunch? I’ll tell you later. – Travel Feeder.
The above photos were captured with Nikon D60

From your photos, the place looked touristy. I will be flying this coming Saturday!
Everywhere I look, I see so many wires… except the beach.
@Che-Cheh – Indeed more wires than people. The funny thing is that the photo of the ‘Golden Arches’ (aka: McDonalds) is also free of wires…is that coincidence or did they get them buried?
@MeiTeng – Patong is peaceful by day and at night the place comes alive! It’s reputation should proceed it…
>Mei Teng,
Enjoy your trip to Phuket this weekend! Hope my photos can give you some preview.
>Che-Cheh,
Exactly! I’ve posted a special post on these bunch of wires. So you can see more of them.
>Peter,
Thanks for your visit. You are right. There isn’t any wire running across McD and that row of shops. These shops are at beachfront with the least overhead wires in Patong.
