  • Patong beach is a fantastic area for shopping Thai-made products. It is the place where the main shopping scene is.

    Clothes are the most common scene in Patong. Bargain is a must in Thailand. And normally the vendors offer sky-rocket prices. Remember to bargain by the 50%-75% of the value the vendors offer.

  • Name of Shop: Sunday Market

    This market only springs up on every Sunday. Selling local food products a lot more cheaper than what is offered at Patong beach.

     Well i stayed at the Karon beach hotel and it was nice. BUT the transport totally ripped us off; the hotel wanted 1500 baht to take us to the airport...crazyness

     Hi Shane, how much (S$) do I need to bring for a 3d2n stay @ Patong Beach?... We are are family of 5...our package doesn't include lunch & dinner & we intend 2 shop lots of "branded" bags there too! Is S$500 enough or too much? PS : We love to bargain.

     The restaurant at the top of Promthep Cape is great for sunset drinks and cocktails, because of the fabulous views. Do not eat here. I have done twice, the Thai food was very expensive, tasteless, and in tiny portions. The service was really bad.
