Patong, Phuket, Thailand

1. Note the right side is the Millenium Resort and it's claimed to be a "beach side". For those who have ever been to this area Jung Ceylon Mall, they would certainly know it's about 1km away from the beach. So if anyone read this on the internet, they may have thought it's just on the beach side. When they check in this hotel, they may first ask "where is the beach?". Jung Ceylon is the newest shopping place in Patong.

3/4. When I walked along this road (about 1 km inward from the Patong beach), I noticed many signs for direction of escape in the event of tsunami. That meant last time the tidal wave hit there.

5. Sino Market is the restaurants place next to Jung Ceylon. 6. Patong at sunset.

7/8. another view to Patong South.

This sounds like Waikiki area when they said the hotel/motel is close to the beach. End up I almost walked a mile.
What is the distance from this hotel to the beach in term of "mile"?

SS, I guess it's over 0.6-7 mile. There are hotels often saying "within 5 min. walking distance" but how fast can one walk for a mile in 5 min.?
