The bars and markets at Patong beach where everybody gets a bargain. Bartering is expected and if you are adept a bargain can easily be had, once you have clinched your deal it's time to get to a bar and quench your parched tonsils with a cold Singa or two. This place was huge and you could find just about anything even lady boys for the less discerning, we were not going to venture there and just stuck with the usual stuff, clothes, dvd's etc.
