Rawai - Patong

Working on a trip and toying with the idea of spending the week in Rawai doing some healthy stuff and weekend partying in Patong. How long is the drive from Rawai to Patong and how easy is it to get a car/taxi to take this trip? Just wondering if it is suitable to go back to Rawai after a night out or completely pointless. And no - there is zero chance i will rent a bike, they scae me sh*tless....

thx for the help

its 20/30 minutes. suitable/pointless don't know its up to you, I did it for 3 weeks every night, hard to do when pissed, you may find it tiring or relaxing depends on your habit in drinking.

I dont know exactly but I think it is more close to ~40 minutes to Rawai from Patong. Its a pretty long ride in the night.

I thought going from Karon to Patong nightly was a bit of a hassle and that is less than half the distance.

You may wish to considering getting a room in patong for the weekend if you will be partying hard. Not really worth the drive back and forth. From some parts of Rawai it can be far.

You may also save money that way. Between Karon and Patong a Tuk-Tuk or Taxi is 300 bath. That made in 900 bath for my round trip and sending the girl home. Rawai may be 3*500 or 3*600.

Cool Get a room

One of the other guys lives in Rawai and when he wants a bit of night life he comes in and rents a room for the weekend.It saves you a lot of money and aggro in the long run.He stays at the Lamai Inn near the Christans Massage .
