When it comes to party central in Phuket, there’s one clear winner and that’s Patong Beach! Here’s more on this nightlife hotspot.
Planning a Visit
Located on the island’s west coast, Patong Beach is one of the most popular tourist destinations here and can get quite crowded. Consider staying or residing on the northwest coast at Layan Beach properties like Layan Residences by Anantara that offer more seclusion, while being within easy reach of Patong and its nightlife.
Bangla Road
After sunset, Bangla Road becomes a pedestrian zone and is the hub of nightlife at Patong Beach. In Phuket, best things to do at night include wandering around this locale; amidst bright neon lights and loud music, you will find diverse beer bars, go-go bars, pubs, nightclubs, live music venues, restaurants, street performances and more!
Some Highlights
If you’re looking to dance the night away, Illuzion Phuket, the Tiger Nightclub and White Room Nightclub are worth visits, while the New York Bar and Redhot Club are great for drinks and live music. For something different, take in a ladyboy show at Simon Cabaret or enjoy thrilling Muay Thai fights at the Bangla Boxing Stadium.
Malin Plaza Patong
In between bar-hopping, you can visit Malin Plaza Patong for a night market experience. It’s a great spot to buy souvenirs as well as beachwear, clothing, mobile phone accessories and bags. Foodies will love it too and can sample an eclectic array of Thai street food, other snacks, fresh fruit and desserts that are quite cheap.
