Agree. There are alot of great family places in Phuket and Thailand. Don't fight the nature of Patong.
Was with a first timer last night. Fresh off the plane. He couldn't describe how great he thought Patong and Bangla was. I am sure familys think Kamala and Kata are great. Although Kata is getting more and more bars. Well, there is always Khao Lak for them...
