Life Is Short And The World Is Wide

I have been to Patong before but on a package deal staying in a fairly expensive hotel, but i wasnt much help when looking for budget accommodation but unfortunately there isnt really any such thing in Patong due to the kind of place it is, attracting the western package holidayers again. But as we were meeting my mate Steve, we found a place off the bach that was just about affordable.

Patong is often confused with Patpong in Bangkok not only because of the similarities of the name but also because of the sex, drugs and alcohol. Patong is a haven for ladyboys, ladygirls and everything in between which is i guess why some people come over. We of course steered clear of all of this area. We spent the majority of the time on the beaches and also Stephen and myself rented mopeds then something with a little more poke for a bit of fun.
