As the night falls, the beautiful city of Phuket never goes to sleep. Exploring this city at night will be more exciting than exploring during daytime (even more!) with its unique night-time destinations and vibrant nightlife scene. You will not regret staying a few nights awake in Phuket.
You will find no better way to explore diverse flavours in Phuket than through its night food stalls! From humble vendors that line the streets to bustling food courts at night, will certainly leave you satisfied. These scrumptious plates of food offered here are extremely affordable. You will not regret sparing time to indulge in what Chillva Market and Phuket Indy Night Market have to offer. There are plenty of accommodation options close to these night food stalls. For instance, if you are staying at a Phuket luxury resort the likes of Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas, it's a 34-minute drive to the Chillva Market.
You cannot call it a great night unless you enjoy a wholesome dinner by yourself or with your loved ones. If you find out that hawker food is not your choice, you do not want to worry as Phuket is home to numerous beautiful locations for an elegant dining experience. How about dining amidst greenery in an enchanting garden setting? Project Artisan Phuket will be an ideal option for a delightful garden dinner. While you are seated surrounding lush greenery and cosy warm lighting, you will get the opportunity to dig into their wide selection of seafood and barbeque for the night. TARA Cafe is another amazing dining spot to cherish your dinner. Not only can you enjoy an incredible fine dining experience in an iconic heritage building, but you can also have a tour of the beautiful blue Cheong Fatt Tze mansion.
Phuket's night bars are known to be one of the key highlights of the exciting nightlife of this city. It has a wide array of bars to suit every visitor's taste. Don't forget that there are many beach bars in this island state where you can sink your toes into the sand while sipping your favourite cocktail. If you are not up to alcohol, you can simply enjoy the comforting sea breeze here while enjoying a fancy meal at these venues. Bangtao Beach – is the ideal place to go and hit some of the wonderful beach bars. You will adore Carpe Diem Beach Club for its perfect beachside location to indulge in a wine and dine experience. Enjoy the lively atmosphere of the bar as the sun goes down. The best way to spend time here would be to catch up with your friends over drinks. For those who are in search of a more sophisticated vibe can count on Café Del Mar. It is a bar and an alfresco restaurant located in a beautiful heritage mansion featuring different choices of international cuisine and a wide cocktail menu.
Phuket is not a mere contemporary entertainment hub – this part of the world has deeply rooted cultural elements that you should not miss exploring. Spend some time uncovering the city's fair share of cultural sites, especially its beautiful temples that gather large crowds annually to its front steps daily. These incredible landmarks are not just places to visit during the daytime, they light up and become a sight to behold at night. Have you ever visited a cultural theme park at night? Phuket FantaSea – a Las Vegas-style theme park, is an eye-catching attraction not to be missed.
Bangla Road is in full swing with all its shops and bars reopened after COVID-19! Also known as Thanon Bangla and Bangla Walking Street, this part of Phuket has been a hotspot for all party owls for many decades. You are sure to enjoy evenings here with its array of nightclubs, rooftop bars, live music bars, beer bars, and those famous go-go bars!
