Of the most popular beaches, Kata Yai and Noi seem to be the favourites of most TT correspondents. I have visited twice this year and stayed once - they have everything you ask (although not real sleaze nightlife) plus accommodation from budget to super-flash.

Kata Noi is a little off the main track - Kata has more "life", Karon Beach has plenty of accommodation options too and these beaches are only 10 -15 minutes from Patong, so you can stay a little quieter and head out for nightlife. No other place has nightlife the same at Patong. Karon and Kata have a few bars here and there. The rest of the island is out there to be explored!
