Patong Beach

Patong Beach (Thai หาดป่าตอง) is on Phuket's west coast, is the main tourist resort in Phuket. It also contains an important centre of Phuket's nightlife and is the centre of cheap shopping on the island. The beach became popular with western tourists, especially Europeans, in the late 1980s. Unfortunately, the beach was wiped out in Tsunami 2004. I wonder what it's like now.
