Welcome to Phuket Live — a local's-eye guide to Thailand's most famous island, written from Patong, where we live and host guests year-round.
Phuket is more than one beach town. Over the coming weeks we'll cover the island the way people actually experience it:
What you'll find here
- Patong guides — the beach, Bangla Road, markets, and where locals actually eat
- Beach-by-beach breakdowns — Kamala, Kata, Karon, Surin, and the quiet north
- Island trips — Phi Phi, Coral Island, the Similans, and Phang Nga Bay
- Practical stuff — getting from the airport, scooters and taxis, rainy season, festivals, and costs
- Long-stay life — condos, visas, gyms, and monthly rentals in Patong
Start with Patong
Patong is the island's beating heart: a 3-kilometre beach, the famous Bangla Road nightlife strip, Jungceylon mall, Banzaan fresh market, and some of the best-value places to stay in Phuket. It's busy, it's fun, and there's far more to it than the postcards show.
New guides land every week. Bookmark us — and if you're planning a trip, start here.
