Patong vs kata/karon beach in Phuket. Where to stay?
My husband and I are planning a holiday/honeymoon to Phuket.
My sister recommends Kata or Karon beaches rather than patong, as she has been there.
We would like to relax etc but my husband is quite adventurous and so we would also like to be able to explore and do some outdoor activities etc.
Is it going to be expensive or annoying to travel from Karon to Patong if we want to go shopping, eating, maybe experience the bars and nightlife?
Any recommendations people have would be appreciated.
I would definitely recommend Kata over Patong as the place to stay. Kata has a handful of shops and bars and beautiful and much more quiet beaches.
You can get to Patong easily with a cheap 20 minute taxi ride.
Patong is just sort of loud and seedy, but it is good fun for a day or two.
Outdoor activities are easy to find. I suggest a boat tor of James Bond Island and a day trip to Racha Island for snorkeling. also, give parasailing a try!
Have a nice trip
