the Malay language 'hill' since most of a hill contours. As an island, it has several beaches on the west side overlooking the Andaman Sea to the most famous beaches are Patong Beach , in addition to existing Kamala Beach, Karon and Kata Beach. Region

A sloping beach, with the waves is pretty, Patong Beach is the place to visit if you are in Phuket. It was like Kuta Beach in Bali, but no traders and wandering masseur, allows us to calm and free here. Security also seems assured, I could put a bag on the beach unattended while I am free to swim alone. Dozens
lined up on the beach side of the hotel and its surroundings make this
area very crowded with tourists and activity (called 1 square
kilometer).

If
you want the atmosphere of the beach, but a more quiet, kindly way to
the north Patong Beach (tuk-tuk ride properly because quite far from
Patong Beach). Kamala Beach is not so developed , there are not many hotels on the beach side, and also the line is not along Patong beach.

This road is the proverbial heart of Phuket. During
the day just an ordinary street, but once the sun began to set, the
road is closed to vehicles, wake up and be the center of night life. The road along the 500 meter serves souvernir shops on either side, as well as pubs and go-go bars. Along pool bar with a bunch of scantily clad dancers that may be suitable for men. Invite
a friend who has eyes that can distinguish women's super original and
imitation, it turns out they are all ladyboy, so watch out not to be
tempted. But you can just sit down sit down to enjoy the music and beer. A bottle of Heineken beer at the bar cost 100-150 baht.

attractions of animals ranging from elephants, monkeys, cow, chicken to
Bangkok. The location is quite far from Patong, you have to hire a taxi or car to get to here.

it's like that in Indonesia it's just the usual attractions, but in
Thailand successfully packaged and sold to foreigners who have never
felt the atmosphere of the village.

show that is very popular form of cabaret ladyboy (men who have faces
made so beautiful woman) with beautiful costumes, this is roughly what
was shown in Simon Cabaret Show . Tickets are 700-800 Baht. You
