Resting on Phuket’s western coast, the resort town of Patong is a bustling beachside destination. With a lively seafront strip, it invites visitors to lap up the sun, bathe in the temperate azure waters and engage in an array of leisure activities such as sailing, parasailing, and snorkelling. Patong is said to boast the greatest number of attractions in Phuket, being a prime hub for nightlife, and featuring a dazzling array of cafes, clubs, and restaurants, as well as several more risque go-go bars and spicy transgender cabarets. The modern Banzaan Market offers wonderful fresh produce and almost anything one can think of, at reasonable prices, and is conveniently close to the megamall Jungceylon. Patong is also famous for its massages and spa treatments, as well as its huge number of personal tailors.
Steamy, frenetic, and exhilarating, Thailand’s capital city, located in the Chao Phraya River Delta, is a legendary travel destination. This metropolis is equally famous for its rich cultural offerings, effervescent nightlife, superb shopping, and diverse dining options. Bucket list items include a visit to the mind-boggling Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho, a morning boat trip down the canals to immerse oneself in the floating markets, and a walk around the opulent Grand Palace. The tourist hub of Khaosan Road, the MBK Centre, Siam Square, or on weekends, the vast Chatuchak market, offer further excellent shopping opportunities, while restaurants span every style, from incredible street food to five-star haute cuisine. The SkyWalk at King Power Mahanakhon is a great spot for couples and photographers, while the Siam Society and Kamthieng House provide an in-depth introduction into Thai culture and folklore.
