Attractions

Coco Plum Patong’s central location puts three of Patong’s top attractions within easy reach:

• Patong Beach: Just a 10-minute walk from the hotel, this 2.8-kilometer crescent of golden sand is Phuket’s most famous beach. Spend your day swimming in gentle Andaman Sea waters, trying stand-up paddleboarding or parasailing, or lounging under a beach umbrella with a fresh mango smoothie. As the sun sets, the beachfront comes alive with fire dancers and beach bars serving cold craft beer.
• Bangla Road: A 15-minute walk from the hotel, this iconic street is the heart of Patong’s nightlife. By day, browse bustling open-air markets selling handmade souvenirs and beachwear; by night, explore open-air bars, live music venues, and nightclubs for every taste.
• Saphan Hin Park: A 5-minute drive from the hotel, this scenic hilltop park offers panoramic views of Patong Bay and is a favorite spot among locals for morning walks and evening picnics. It features quiet walking trails, shaded picnic areas, and a small public beach far less crowded than central Patong Beach.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance during peak season (November to February), when rooms fill up quickly. The hotel’s self-catering facilities make it easy to save money on meals by picking up fresh fruit and local snacks from nearby street markets 5 minutes’ walk away. If you’re renting a scooter (the most popular way to explore Phuket), the free on-site parking is a major perk that many nearby hotels don’t offer. Ask the front desk to arrange reliable island tour bookings for day trips to nearby Phi Phi Islands or Phang Nga Bay – they can often secure better rates than third-party booking sites. Finally, the hotel is located on a quiet residential road, so you’ll get a peaceful night’s sleep even when Patong’s nightlife is in full swing
