Not too many years ago, Patong Beach was a remote island village. Today it's Phuket's most famous beach and one of the most developed beach resort areas in South East Asia. It's also here that you can find Dive The World. Located 15 kilometres west of Phuket Town and almost 3 kilometres long, Patong has a white sand beach and is set in a deep oval bay, ringed by lush green hills. Behind the beach promenade, the coast line is almost solidly lined with hotels, ranging from simple guesthouses to luxury international resorts together with other services such as restaurants, shops, banks and tour operators. The town is the main departure point for Phuket liveaboards. At night, this is the centre of all nightlife activity on Phuket. It centres around the main east-west street of Soi Bangla, and here you'll find restaurants, discos, go-go bars and beer bars.
Phuket's climate is tropical and warm throughout the year.
The northeast monsoon from November into March is wonderful, with breezy clear days and fragrant cool nights. From November to April, Phuket has an average 26 sunny days per month.
Tourist High Season is from November to April. However, it's best to avoid December and January if possible, as this is Peak Season, when accommodation can be hard to find and is expensive, and Phuket's dive sites are very crowded, particularly the Similan Islands and Richelieu Rock. Diving charters are often fully booked.
