By: Anne Tide

If you decided to take a trip or to have a vacation in Thailand one thing you will not have to worry about is the quality and service in the hotels. There are a lot of hotels in Thailand, the price varying but the services and facilities are rather good. One of the top touristic destinations in Thailand is Phuket. A resort in Phuket provides all the best for their clients no matter how many days you are going to spend there. The most famous place on Phuket is considered Patog beach. This is the place where you can find all starting with hotels and finishing with discos. This is the place of entertainment on the island, so if you are interesting in combining rest with entertainment you can choose any Patog beach hotel and have fun there.

Many think that there is impossible to find a quite hotel at Patong beach. But they truly exist. The best way to find what you need among the thousands of hotels and resorts on Phuket is to consult a travel guide or to have a look at the hotels online. Most of the resorts and hotels on Phuket are situated near the beach, so they are scattered alongside the seashore of the island.

Patong has undergone significant changes recent years, these transformations allowed it to in the top 10 places to visit for holiday worldwide. Patong beach hotel offers high standard services. Young people like this place because it possible to have fun here and to have a nice rest. Families here can have nice holidays as well. This place has become a destination for all ages. At Patong are located some nightclubs and discos. It is not possible to say that the top DJs play there, but they have their audience and a lot of energy. Most discos in Patong charge a 100 baht admission fee but rather than being a cover charge, this is actually a drink minimum since you get a voucher and most clubs charge 100 baht for almost all drinks.

Phuket is not only good for taking sunbaths, it is a good destination for those who are interesting in diving. The waters are very clean and are perfect for this activity. Each resort in Phuket offers such facilities and the entire equipment for it to be practiced.

Patong Beach was hit by tsunami on December 26, 2004, along with many other areas along the western coast of Phuket and Thailand. Much destruction were caused due to the great wave, caused by the earthquake in the Indian Ocean. The island had to rebuild many of its resorts, practically most of them were damaged. The infrastructure was at a very low level, so everything was rebuilt. The island practically doesn't bear any traces of that tsunami nowadays. Each Phuket hotel was rebuilt and the island is receiving annually a great number of tourists.

Due to the fact that tourist industry is the main profits source and the tourists are concentrated at certain beaches, Patong, Karon and Kata Beach. There are also sandy beaches, which have not been yet touched by the tourist industry. If you think that you will learn original Thailand far from touristic areas, you can be wrong. There are many local handcraft shops and the food in most of the restaurants is local. Most of the buildings and almost each resort in Phuket have something traditional and peculiar for that or another region.
