Kudo Beach Club

Kudo fronts the sand at Patong, Phuket's busiest beach town, and gives it a more polished beach day than the strip behind it suggests. The club runs a pool and loungers towards the sea with a restaurant and bar behind, and a terrace for staying on into the evening. It is wheelchair accessible and has parking, both useful in Patong. The west-facing beach means direct sunsets over the Andaman Sea, and the high season falls in the European winter, when this coast is at its driest.
