Going out & exploringPhuket nightlife: nightclubs, Bangla Road and beach clubs
The neon of Bangla Road, Patong's big clubs, then the west-coast beach clubs at sunset. Here's where to go for the vibe you're after, and how to get the right table.
Bangla Road and Patong's nightclubs
Most of the island's clubs are packed into a few hundred metres, in Patong.
Bangla Road goes pedestrian at nightfall: open-fronted bars, music at every door, and the big clubs at the end. People often start the night in a bar on the street before heading into a club around midnight.
Sugar Club
Bangla Road's hip-hop club, opposite Illuzion: hip-hop, R&B and afrobeats all night.
Bangla Road
Patong's pedestrian street, its open-fronted bars and its music: where the night starts.
Café Dubaï – Rooftop Lounge
A rooftop lounge that's a big favourite with French visitors: lights, shows, shisha and a party atmosphere until late.
