So the positives were...pretty girls, busy bars/streets and pretty girls again

The negatives were...agro in the air - regular fights implied, lack of development of beach road, people using the tsunami for money reasons and open prostitution (?)

I'd hardly say it is a positive review of Patong! especially if you read this with no prior knowledge of the town

Referring back to G's post:

I do agree that Phuket/Patong is no paradise, and there is crime if you open your eyes to it/read the papers, some of it quite shocking. But the impression stickman give is that there is a bad atmosphere on Bangla. This is untrue, and not a fair impression. I agree that there is trouble from time to time, but wherever there is cheap alcohol & girls, I kind of expect some trouble to follow.
