Phuket is blessed with beautiful beaches and a raving nightlife. For those night owls, here are some of the places you can visit to make your nights at Phuket, unforgettable.
The Bangla Road is one of the best night time venues in Phuket. When the sun goes down, the street becomes a 400 metre long stretch of lights, music, beer, and people having a good time. The street is packed most of the time and the restaurants and pubs are crowded with tourists and locals alike. If you want to spend the night away to good music and good vibes, this is the place you should visit.
All the bars and the pubs in the street have open fronts and this blends the music from each one together. There are many street performers not to mention a myriad of street food vendors at Bangla Road. Eat to your heart's content and spend the night in the most happening place in Phuket, this vacation.
This is the biggest show Phuket puts out for its visitors. There are hundreds of people participating in this along with animals such as elephants. The night is spent with songs, dances, music, and plays depicting the ancient myths. The stories are combined with fantasy and tradition that makes it interesting and unique.
The show is not an isolated event. There is a carnival with games and rides, shopping stalls, food stalls and many more festivities going on when the FantaSea show happens. This is a great place for kids and adults both and one of the great ways to explore the culture and tradition of Phuket.
The Patong beach is the nightlife central of Thailand. You can find live Dj music to dance the night away or find a café or restaurant that has rock, alternative rock or classic rock artists. The bars here are all musical and if you don't want your night to be filled with electric guitar riffs and raspy vocalists, this is not the place for you. There are so many bars to visit and you can even go bar hopping with your friends until sunrise. The Hard Rock Cafe, Rock City, and Red Hot Club are some of the most famous bars in Patong and make sure you visit them your next vacation. As much as this is a haven for rock lovers, you also can find discos and hip hop and rap bars as well. This is the place for those who are musical at heart.
You can find many beach clubs in Phuket but they all have the same formula; a bar made of natural material such as bamboo which is closer to the beach. Most of the Djs performing at these beach clubs are well known international Djs. There are famous beach clubs such as Catch Beach Club and Dream Beach Club. However, most Phuket luxury hotels the likes of Anantara Layan Phuket Resorts have their own beach clubs so if you are staying at one of the luxury hotels, you can have a beach club at your doorstep.
