We are choosing between northern Patong and Kata. Which one is better? In terms of cleanliness, prices, infrastructure and the number of people.

The infrastructure is the best in Patong, but swimming here is not very pleasant, the water is muddy. It is better to live in Patong, and swim and ride a motorbike to the neighboring beaches. And that's what we're doing. The number of people has significantly decreased that there are no traffic jams on the sidewalks and on the roads.

Kata is calmer, there is enough space on the beach. The food is like everywhere else, somewhere it's expensive, somewhere it's cheap, there are enough nightclubs.

The infrastructure (massages, restaurants, market, fruit shops, souvenir shops) is better in the Kata area. We lived in the Kata area closer to Kata Noi, to Kata Noi on foot for about 7 minutes (there is a little uphill to climb and go down to the beach - uncritical, easy). And from housing closer to massage, to shops, restaurants to walk at lunchtime, while the intense heat is an hour for a massage and beauty))) So it depends on what is the priority. In the evening, it is also more convenient to get to housing after a walk in the Kata area. Since mainly in the area of Kata Noah up the hill hotels are located and those who live there ride bikes. They get tired of walking in the mountains)). For a change, you can go to Kata beach, there are boats for rent, weifboards (1 hour of training - 1000 baht).
