Lit up like Las Vegas, Patong is hopping every night of the week.
Shops and restaurants stay open late, and there's the never-ending
choice of bars, clubs, karaoke lounges, cabaret, massage parlours,
go-go bars, discos and different kinds of shows.. You'll find a
whole range of "informed opinion" on the nightlife in
Patong, with comments from "sleazy" to 'brilliant."
Much is made of the girly bar scene, which occupies a small part
of town.
There are pubs and bar beers - places to drink, play games with
the girls and be merry (usually outdoors) and go-go bars, with air-conditioning,
"entertainment"and often good music. Couples are welcome
in most, and the style is pretty relaxed. Some of the go go shows
are not for the faint hearted, but visit with an open mind and you
are sure to enjoy all that Patong has to offer as the nightlife
begins. Most of the action is centred around Soi Bangla which joins
the Beach Road at one end and Rat-U-Thit Road at the other. In between
are a number of small sois (streets) with bars, go go bars, restaurants
and cafes, literally next to each other. For the gay community,
the Paradise complex on Ratutit Rd has bars, cafes, guest houses
and restaurants. For a quick guide to the scene, click on below.
