Cool ??I wish I knew it before tonight. TVF should promote any fun events going on in the main sections. 

Great timing too for festive dress and drinking and sanook!

Patong Carnival, marking the beginning of "high season" is always a good time.

 

The parade in the evening provides great opportunities for photos, and there's a tremendous selection of food available from vendors along the beachfront. In the past, some vendors were permitted to setup dining tables and chairs on the beach, which makes for a nice on-beach dining experience which normally can't be had in Patong.

 

Highly recommended for any tourists who happen to be in town on the 1st, as well as any expats who haven't been previously.
