Patong

Back on Phuket Island, we spent the evening in Patong. It was an extremely lively area filled with street food, clubs, live music bars, restaurants and also a Muay Thai boxing stadium. Bangla Road in particular was the centre of the action. We started off with some dumplings and rice rolls from the street food stalls. We followed that with some drinks in the New York Live Music Bar, which was the highlight of the evening. The live band was crazy good and they played popular songs from various genres and periods. We requested “Gimme Gimme Gimme” by ABBA. They eventually played ABBA, but chose “Mamma Mia” instead. It was pretty good too. Before returning to the hotel, we had some mango sticky rice. I think we had become a bit addicted to this dish.Read more
