Patong Beach

Location: Patong Beach, Phuket's West Coast

Phuket's trip is incomplete without visiting to the famous Patong Beach, and here we are!!! We came here for day time shopping. There are lot of shops (or rather stall) that starts operating. Under the hot sun, we hop from a stall to another trying to buy clothes, and we were looking for bikini for Abbey. Weather were humid, and we forgotten to bring along the stroller. Hence we need to ask Abbey to walk more. Good girl she is, listening to us and walking most of the time.

Since the beach is located at the town center, it is also known for the night life as well. From the place we dropped off by taxi, walking along the street to the beach, there are many pubs which already operating. Across the street of the beach, there are many accommodation available for one to choose from. The only setback is bustling till late night, not recommended if one looking for a quite holiday away from the usual town life.

There are many operators at the beach, be it the jet ski, parachuting, massage etc. Things seems changed a lot since my last business trip here. There are more foreigner that manning the stall compare last time. I could see the foreigner yelling to attract attention of the onlooker to visit their stall.

Over here, we tried our luck with local dishes and massage after enjoying for the past 2 days. Reflexology would be the best option for us. While we enjoying our foot massage, Abbey also able to entertain the massage lady with her "cuties" looks and response. She now able to say "sawadeekap" whenever speaks to the local, and with both her hand holding like a local lady which make her more adorable.

By about 5pm, there are policemen manning the street, and I saw some motorbike was summoned due to several offences they committed, mostly by the foreigner over here. Policemen are very strict during the period of time, no joke and hats up for their good job.

At the end of the visit here, I need to carry Abbey as she was too tired and slept while I hug her. Looking for a cab to go back to our hotel is no joke, as some of the cab is too pricy and car is not a good condition. Lots of nego need to be done before we finally settle for one.
