Patong Nightlife – Where to party in Patong?

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 Road in Patong Beach

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
