Most of the night time action is in and around Bangla road. You will also find places for a quiet drink or to listen to live bands. Banana Disco on the beach road is probably the most popular place to go dancing and is usually packed untill the early hours.
One of Patong's main attractions, besides the nightlife, is shopping. Patong is a mecca for the bargain hunter. Many small stalls and markets line the streets offering everything from t-shirts and clothing, silk, carvings, souvenirs, shoes, CDs and DVDs. Always remember to bargain for anything you buy from these stalls, as everything is negotiable in Patong. Don't forget also that Patong is situated on a 3km long white sandy beach. The beach vendors offer all watersports, beach chairs, soft drinks and even refreshing chilled coconuts. You can also go surfing at Patong beach and for the more experienced Kalim reef has good quality waves.
A warning though that many people have had serious accidents some resulting in death, from the many jet-skis for rent on Phuket's beaches. If it's excitment you are looking for Patong is the place, but for a quiet and peaceful snooze on the beach, possibly some of Phuket's other beaches would be more suitable.
