Whilst patong beach can be very busy it is also very long so it is quite easy to find somewhere quiet. The shopping in Patong is excellent. There are fabulous shops and stalls lining the streets offering excellent value for money goods. Though be prepared to barter and start very low. Although there is prostitution here it is a safe place to take your children. It is not shoved in your face, and if you walk the street with children you will not be aware that people are trying to entice tourists into their closed bars as they will not bother you. If however you do not have children with you, what looks like a perfectly normal menu will turn out to have a lot more on offer? Sea food restaurants are excellent as the majority of restaurants. An excellent place when you want an english meal is the Islander Bar, which offers things such as sausages and mash with onion gravy. I want to experience Thai food you may say, but after 15 days of rice you start to crave for english food. They also have real sausages with their breakfast too.
