Patong is equally well known for its energetic nightlife, among which seafood restaurants prominently feature. Right behind the famous three-kilometer white sand Patong beach is a colourful place with bargain-priced, multi-cuisined stalls and restaurants, displaying all kinds of clothing, leather goods and Thai handicrafts. At night, most of the atmosphere is created by the scores of neon-lit bars and seafood restaurants.
