One of the most popular tourist areas on Phuket is
Patong Beach on the central western coast, perhaps owing to the easy
access to its wide and long beach. Most of Phuket's nightlife and its
cheap shopping is located in Patong, and the area has become increasingly
developed. Patong means "the forest filled with banana leaves" in Thai.
Other popular beaches are located south of Patong.
In a counterclockwise direction these include Karon
Beach, Kata Beach, Kata Noi Beach, and around the southern tip of the
island, Nai Harn Beach and Bang Tao Beach. These areas are generally much
less developed than Patong, and sought out by individuals, families and
other groups with a preference for more relaxed and less crowded environs
than Patong. There are several coral islands to the south of Phuket, the
Similan Islands lie to the north west, and Phi Phi Islands to the south
east. All the islands are suitable for diving.
