On my recent tour I went to 'The Beach Seafood' restaruant/bar area on Patong Beach. I also went there almost every evening to watch the sun go down. A really nice way to end the day and have a bit of craic with the staff etc.
They charged 50 Baht per person for the chairs(& brolly) on the beach. And when you get hungry the restaraunt is right behind you.
Where abouts is your perch? Did you find a good spot on the beach? And if so Why?
IMHO things that make a day on the Beach more enjoyable are:
1. Friendly staff that will get you a nice spot and charge only 50 Baht for the chair without having to haggle
2. A spot that is very close to a nice restaraunt/bar so that you can keep an eye on you stuff while having a bite to eat. Also so that you can get shelter if it pi$$e$ rain
3. Where the TG's hang out
4. A popular spot for BM's (if there is such a spot)
5. Also staff you could trust to leave your stuff with if you wanted to go for a stroll
Although I liked the spot we were in, we didn't explore the beach at all. There didn't seem to be too many bars & restaraunts on the beach like 'The Beach Seafood' or am I way off the mark? BM's input on this would be much appreciated. Thanks
P.S.- I am referring to Patong Beach as that is where most of the time is spent
