When you've seen most of the sights in and around Patong
and the other popular beaches, you might want to consider a somewhat different destination
for an excursion. The Blue Point Bar for instance. It's on the hill just south of Patong
and if you're on foot, you have a nice little walk ahead of you. It's uphill most of the
time. Once you get up you will be greatly rewarded though. The view down towards Patong is
excellent.
As you come to the Blue Point Bar you will be greeted by
the staff and the drinks are not expensive according to Patong standards. But the
strongest points for this place is the peaceful atmosphere and the spectacular view.
The Blue Point Bar is open from 10am until at least sundown (basically
until the guests all leave). You can buy soft drinks, beer, water, film, cocktails and
even light food. All at very reasonable prices and always served with a smile.
"This place has a really nice potential since it's so
picturesque" says Koy. "People are starting to explore this road and
when they find us they usually welcome the opportunity to sit down and enjoy a drink and
the view" she continues.
