No it is free entrance

Also a 3rd option is Hotel Clover Patong

we were four, so we bathed two and two first on the trip. but in the end we dared to leave the bags alone by the sun loungers. maybe buy a waterproof bag. :)

Transportation: Private taxi to Patong = 800 Baht Smart Bus to Patong = 175 Baht (go to their website for bus schedule) Mini-bus to Patong = 200 Bhat (as mentioned you need to wait until it is full) Hotels: I will recommend in Patong = The Royal Paradise Hotel & Spa.

if you are planning phi phi, then would request you to ask what all will be covered, as its recommended you stay overnight to enjoy the whole or in a day you can have 2 option 1. go to phi phi stay have lunch and return 2. go to phi phi, then go ahead to see the other small attractions, like caves, monkey island, etc so ask the operator for inclusions

Around 1500 bht

Also if the sail gets wet do not parasail. Seen some people drop outa the sky a few times because of this. That's just I the last couple of weeks at Patong.

Only use ATM's and you will get the best daily rates. They are plentyful so no need to carry very much money on you. Surrin beach Bang Tao beach Nia Harn Beach These beaches are cleaner Visit the Temples Big Buddha is the most popular. Spend the day at Nia Harn Beach then go to Phrom Thep Cape to watch the sunset before heading back for night life in Patong. Thai bbq is a fun experience hassasipi rd has the best one. If you like Dim Sum Mala in Kata/Karon is very good and well priced. Day Trips like Phi phi island and James Bond Island (only use Diamond Sea Boat Tours!) Dont accept any other operator. Naka night market is great for buying gifts i wouldn't shop anywhere else. Dont rent Scooters or Motorcycles unless you want to die! Transfer by Nana Taxi 700baht Lots of decent meals at the night markets 7/11s have locked pricing less rip offs Super cheap purple signs have the cheapest beer Nanai road Daily spending wow seriouy depends $2 and up for draught...Bangla can drain you fast if you dont watch. Never leave drinks unattended Half full moons money grabs!but you might enjoy it.
