The 6km long. white sand beach, during the rainly season. is emply of its colourful umbrellas and is buffeted by big waves.
Watch for the red flags for they warn of dangerous swimming conditions. But there's still plenty of opportunity to achieve
that perfect suntan-it doesn't rain all the time!
Patong's Phuket eateries continue open. offering just about every ethnic flavour you can imagine. There are high cost establishments
right down to thai food stalls and roadside noodle stands. Seafood, naturally, is served in many ways and many styles, all of it fresh
and delicious. It's an exhilarating experience to sit, enjoying a delicious meal, while watching the lighting flashes illuminate the turbulent sea.
Phuket Hotels, Phuket resorts, and Phuket buangalows all drop their prices during rainy season so it's a bargain time of year in Phuket. The pace is generally
slower; lacals freequeantly are more inclined for conversation since there are less tourists abont to distract them.
For nightlife, Patong is know as Party Central Phuket. There is everything from pubs and discos to jazz, cocktail lounges and Go-Go bars. Check out
Soi Bangla if you're of the hearty party animal variety and don't miss the great katoy show at Simon Cabaret (they aren't really men .....are they?)
