Below are some of the best-known places, but just walk around, and you will find an incredible array of bars and clubs.

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.

Shows and Live Bands

Live bands are everywhere in Patong, and thankfully, the sound and skills have improved a lot in recent years. It’s a 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.

From the owner of the famous Suzy Wong in the same Soi Seadragon, Devil’s Playground ‘raise the bar’ of Go-Go bars to a new level. Right from the outside you can tell that this is not just the usual dull dark room with a central stage and few stools around.
