Where to Party in Patong at night?
Patong Nightlife is famous worldwide for being colourful and carefree. The night scene has evolved a lot to reach every traveller type and is not as rowdy as Pattaya or Bangkok. During the high season (November to May), the nightlife is vibrant in most beach towns. Patong Beach is lively and colourful until 2 a.m. (officially), but often past 4 a.m.
Nightlife in Phuket features great nightclubs hosting international DJs, a few rooftop bars, more live bands than you need, and ladyboy shows that defy your imagination. You might even be tempted to look inside those notorious go-go bars at least once.
Bangla Walking Street
Bangla Walking Street, also called Soi Bangla or Bangla Road, is the heart of all Phuket Nightlife, and the battle for night supremacy is raging between Soi Seadragon and the new Tiger complex. Over the years, the centre of interest has been moving up and down Bangla road depending on seasons and popularity, but the ever-changing face of Patong nightlife is worth a look. Of course, wherever you go in Bangla, friendly ladies will call you with a big smile and encourage you to have a drink and play a few silly bar games; everyone is welcome. Read more

Shows and live bands
Live bands are everywhere in Patong; thankfully, the sound and skills have improved greatly in recent years. It’s fierce competition, but not everyone can afford a great band, and some venues would do better concentrating on their food. The best live bars are, without a doubt, New York Music Bar and the famous Hard Rock Cafe.
New York Live Music Bar
Live bands are getting increasingly popular around the island, and there is intense competition to catch the attention of the thousands of visitors walking up and down the famous Bangla Road. New York Live Music combines great bands, excellent sound and a catch light system. You can stand for a moment in front of each bar and decide which one you like best, and once you pick one, you can enjoy the concert for the price of one drink!
Hard Rock Cafe
Hard Rock Cafe Phuket doesn’t need to be introduced anymore, but it was a big deal when it arrived in Patong Beach a few years back. If you came here, you already know that Phuket doesn’t lack live bands.
Hooters
Hooters in Phuket is a vibrant restaurant known for its casual atmosphere and American-style cuisine. Situated next to Hard Rock Cafe in Patong Beach, it offers a menu featuring popular dishes like burgers, wings, and salads.

Malin Plaza Night Market
Malin Plaza is a trendy night market at the southern end of Patong Beach, and it succeeded because it kept in mind that food is the magnet that makes people come in the first place.

Go-Go bars of Phuket
The concept of Go-Go Bars in Soi Bangla doesn’t vary much between places. It always rotates around a few standard features. So what happens in there? At the centre of the room is an elevated stage with stainless poles, surrounded by stools. Sofas and small tables are lined up around the room, sometimes on two levels, and they play loud music with flashing colourful lights. Read more
Suzy Wong’s A Go Go
Suzy Wong’s is already an icon of Soi Bangla nightlife, and you can’t visit Patong without visiting them.

But go-go bars are not only about beautiful facades, so you’ll ask what makes this one different from any other go-go bar.
Harem Bar
Harem Lounge is the most luxurious bar in Phuket, with plush red velvet sofas and curtains all around, two main stages, with four smaller platforms on each side. The place feels cosy and intimate, and the staffs are beautiful.

10 Tips to Spot a Ladyboy in Phuket
Did you know that in Bangla Walking Street, those tall, slim, pretty and sexy ladies dancing with colourful outfits and feathers are what are locally called ladyboys? A ladyboy is a transvestite that is considered here a woman. They look very feminine and get a lot of attention. On Bangla Road, they perform their little act of “Look at me! I’m more feminine than your wife”. Remember that while they encourage you to take their photos, payment is always requested once the photo is taken.

Party and Hangover Drinks
Energy drinks are part of the daily landscape of Thailand. Convenience stores always dedicate several fridge shelves to those tiny bottles. Do they work? That might depend on which brand, but mostly, that will rely on you. If you are an Italian espresso drinker like us, that might give you a mild boost; for some, it’s an all-night-long kerosene. If you don’t know what these tiny bottles are, you might want to memorise some of the names! ‘Energy Drinks’ are used as mixers to help you party through the whole night, while ‘Hangover Drinks’ make the next day less miserable. Better safe than sorry!
