Patong Beach(巴东海滩)
Everything You Need to Know About Patong:
Patong is the most famous beach resort on Phuket. With its wide variety of activities and nightlife, Patong is an ideal place to party and play. By night the town has a bustling nightlife which includes literally hundreds of restaurants, beer bars, GoGo Bars and of course discos. The nightlife is centred around Soi Bangla (Bangla Road) however there are quiet parts of town.
Visitors hoping for a glimpse into the exotic East might not find it here, though the steaming hot streets, neon lights and chaotic atmosphere of Patong can be overwhelming for the new arrival. The key to full enjoyment of the place is to pace yourself, drink lots of water and learn the meaning of 'mai pen rai' - which translates roughly to 'It doesn't matter' or 'Don't worry, be happy'.
Patong's 2 km strip of golden sand is one of the most popular beaches in Phuket, it's a place to watch the world go by.
By day, Patong Beach is a hive of activity with parasail and jet-ski operators, boat drivers, beach vendors and masseuses all vying for the attention of the many visitors relaxing on the beach chairs.During November to April (NE monsoon) the water is very flat and calm.
Phuket Beach Sports and Activities: Snorkeling, Parasailing, Waterski
If you've come or are planning to come to Phuket for water sports you've certainly chosen well. Pretty much every west coast beach has facilities for generalised water sports such as snorkelling and wind surfing while beaches such as Nai Yang, Layan and Friendship Beach on Phuket's southeastern corner specialise in kite surfing. Seasonal sports such as surfing and Hobie Cat sailing can be loads of fun; and for the children and the child in you there are two waterparks - one actually riding the waves of Patong Beach. Sailing can be practised all year round but during the squally season from May - October it's generally practised to the east of Phuket in sheltered Phang Nga Bay. You can even indulge in water sports inland on Phuket Island at the Kathu cable ski centre.
巴东海滩距普吉镇15公里,是普吉岛开发最完善的海滩区。白天的巴东海滩游人众多,吸引着越来越多的游客。喜欢逛街和购物的游客也很喜欢这里,因为在海滩附近有几条布满商店和餐馆的街道,走走看看间乐趣无穷。夜晚,度假村、露天酒吧、舞厅、夜总会人来人往。点一杯简单的饮料,在异国的夜晚和陌生的朋友聊聊天,看看外国人的夜生活,再吹一吹海风,真是非常享受。
夜生活:这里有许多露天酒吧一直营业到深夜2时左右。还有拉远提托街(Rat-U-Thit Road)的许多摊铺从傍晚一直营业到深夜,热闹非凡。在芭东海滩有超过100家各种各样的bar和disco舞厅,其中比较著名的有Soi Easy和Banana Disco等,Banana是芭东历史最悠久也是最著名的舞厅。这里既有喧闹的啤酒吧,也有比较高雅的鸡尾酒吧,还有诸如Rock City的美式餐吧,以及以人妖表演出名的Simon Cabaret和非常有特色的泰拳馆。
娱乐:这 里有游泳、太阳浴、香蕉船、帆板、游艇等各种海上活动项目,而这里的海水清澈见底,水中生物种类繁多,是亚洲地区公认的最优良的潜水地之一。如果游客想要 体验一下热闹的夜生活可以到邦古拉街(Bangla Road)一带走走。芭东沿海三公里新月型的海滩上遍布旅馆、超级市场、购物中心和各种娱乐设施,吃喝玩乐,样样齐全。
小贴士:巴东海滩的物价是最贵的,所以尽量不要在那里买,海滩往里的几条街道的物价稍微便宜些,最好在靠里的主干道拉远提托街上换好钱并买好东西。
巴东海滩距普吉镇15公里,从镇中心可坐Tuk Tuk前往,车费为300泰铢左右。或搭乘中巴,起点在普吉镇Ranong路上(在机场的对面),途经几个主要海滩,可随停随上,每隔半小时一班,运营时间为7:00-18:00,车费15-20泰铢。如从普吉机场坐出租车前往,车费为600泰株左右,车程45分钟。也有mini巴士,150泰株/人。
