Patong Beach,   Phuket Thailand
I regret to say there is no  surfing in Patong. The beach faces west into the Indian Ocean. The water is warm, the
humidity is high
and tourists abound.  A Thai massage is a great way to start the day.  The night life is busy and starts
late.  I would not recommend an extended stay in Patong, but a few days is a nice change.
It rained every day during my
five day stay.
November 1 is the start of a
three day carnival which
features dancers, floats, and
lots of fine dining.
Hotels are reasonably priced.
Unfortunately, I could not sit
on the balcony because of the
mosquitoes.
Street vendors waiting for someone
to walk by.
