Over the years, Patong has evolved from a tiny fishing village into Phuket's primary tourist and night-time entertainment district. The famous bay, and its 4 kilo metres beach remain relatively untouched with the substantial development in the area limited to the beach road. Here, much like Pattaya, virtually every kind of entertainment imaginable awaits visitors. Accommodation ranges from the shoe-string budget to five-star opulence, and shopping opportunities abound.
