- Its one of the most exotic places you will ever visit
Love it or hate it, you cannot deny the charm that this place has. Patong is a place where you feel like anything could happen no matter how crazy. People here really know how to party. The party scene is amazing.

Also, Patong is a melting pot of so many nationalities. You can find variety of cuisines wherever you go. Patong is definitely a place you have to experience at least once in your lifetime.

- Hotels in Patong are (generally) cheaper
Due to its popularity, it is no surprise that Patong will attract a large number of Hotel developments. In my personal opinion, I believe there is a current oversupply of hotels in Patong right now. This oversupply is substantially more prominent during the low season. This results in many hotels consistently dumping their prices. Well, if you are not the hotel owner, this is good news. You can find many exceptionally great deals, even for 4-5 star hotels, in Patong. Also, come during the low season (May- October) and it gets much cheaper. During season you can find 5 star hotels charging way below $100/night. That is a steal!

- Convenience
Patong is located in a relatively central (central west really) area of Phuket island. This makes it convenient to go to almost anywhere in Phuket. Almost every attraction worth visiting will be within 30-minute drive from your hotel. This is much better than if you were to stay in another place, say Panwa Beach, where everywhere seem to take oven an hour!

Furthermore, clubs in Patong open way until morning. You can party hard from sunset until sunrise!
