Nightlife in Phuket: bars, clubs, shows and festive beaches
Phuket is a party by the sea. The nightlife is expressed in all styles: lively bars in Patong, beach clubs by the water, DJ nights, cabaret shows, rooftops at sunset… Whether you’re here to dance until dawn or have a quiet cocktail in front of the sea, this guide is for you.
Must-see areas to go out in Phuket
🔵 Patong & Bangla Road
The epicenter of the party. Bangla Road lights up as soon as night falls: bars in a row, electro clubs, street performances, go-go bars, loud sounds. This is the Thai Las Vegas.
🔵 Kata & Karon
More chill. Lounge bars, music cafés, quiet rooftops. Ideal for those who want to go out without getting sucked by the crowds.
🔵 Old Phuket Town
Arty bars, live music, local and quirky atmosphere. Less known but super nice for an “off the radar” outing.
