I know you probably think this post is way overdue. I'm late for the party, right? I agree but indulge me though. It is still January and I'm inspired to share these scenes at Patong Beach during New Year's Eve.
This first photo is my entry to #longexposurephotography contest hosted by 
For those of you who have travelled to Phuket, it will come to no surprise that Patong Beach is the party district of Phuket. Home to Bangla Road, there is no shortage to any kind of entertainment. Live bands, cheap beers, Muang Thai fights, and the NSFW kind of enjoyment, you name it, it is in Patong.
For this post, however, I'm sharing with you a more wholesome Patong Scene. During Christmas and New Year's Eve, various hotels/resorts would offer buffet dinner and in-house entertainment to their guests. Despite this, I notice that there are still many people who rather go to the beach, rent a lounge chair, and watch the festivities with sand on their feet.
That is exactly what we did. It was fun to see different nationalities welcoming the new year with beer on hand and wonder in their eyes. Everyone was in a festive mood and the ambiance is really lively. Of course, being in Thailand, flying lanterns also dotted the night skies, competing with the marvelous firework displays.
Sharing with you some more photos from that magical night.
Thank you for checking out my blog. Til next time!
