Travellers sometimes find excitement in exploring what goes on at night in the destinations they travel to. Well, if you are that kind of traveller, then let's just say that Phuket offers quite a night scene to please your senses. Wondering what to do and explore at dusk in Phuket? Here is a list of things to try out.
A blur of colourful lights and makeshift markets is what the night market is all about in Phuket. From fresh fruits, vegetables and cheap clothing to electronics and street food, the weekend night market has it all. IF you want to experience a bit of culture while mingling with the locals, the night market is ideal for this. You can also do a bit of souvenir shopping here with cute but inexpensive items available here. The smells of food will begin to float through the air and reach your nose reminding you that you are hungry. Follow the smell and you'll find a choice of food items to feast on including favourite local desserts.
On a stretch of 350 metres, Indian, Chinese and Thai shops fill up either side of the road selling all sorts of little trinkets to customers. This makes for a wonderful cultural scene and opportunity to observe the ways of the Thai people. Here too you will be able to find various items that are inexpensive and will serve as a beautiful memory once you get back home. Not to mention the food, once again, you'll stumble upon the opportunity enjoy some scrumptious street eats. There are a few artists too who perform at the street market for some entertainment.
Staying in your room at accommodation options like Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spa, will not do if you are seeking the ultimate nightlife experience! The Go-Go Bars are actually something to look forward to if you are all about party. You'll witness a few bawdy performances while you sip on one of those favourite cocktails. There's plenty of loud music, dancing and you can also have the opportunity to see a pole dance if it's in your interest.
The best spot for some bar hopping would be Bangla Road down Patong Beach. This place is famous the world over for its peculiar nightlife. Being another party zone, you'll be able to drink and dance till you drop till the wee hours of the morning with laser lights flashing across the dance floor. There are many fun experiences for you to try out here a short distance away from Phuket luxury villas.
Curious about Thailand's rich culture? Siam Niramit is a show that displays bits and pieces of Thailand's culture and history. Performers are dressed in vibrant clothing while an entertaining act is performed on stage to keep your attention fixed on the show. There's even a team that features elephants on the show!
