Nanai Road , Phuket

Nanai Road, Phuket: Located at the foot of the hills at the back of the famous patong beach (Phuket), Nanai Road is a favourite for ex-pats and regular visitors but largery unknown to most travelers to Phuket. Linking Sainamyen Road in the north to Parchanukhro Road in the South, this is a bustling cosmopolitan community where Thais and foreigners live and work together. Like The beach Road and Bangla road, Nanai Road has a wide range of shopping, restaurants and nightlife, but unlike the tourist-oriented areas you won't be harassed by touts in the street or over charged for a beer. There are some excellent restaurants and almost every style of cuisine available: Thai, Italian, Swedish, German, French, Austrian,... Go to any of the local bars on Nanai (open more early) and it's won't be long before you've got to know everyone there. The bars are more laid-back than Bangla Road, but friendly with a lot of fun. Starting life as a cattle track, Nanai road has seen rapid development and many new guesthouse and hotel have been built providing quality accommodation at reasonable prices. Have a wander down nanai Road and meet the locals.
