9 Best Nightlife Experiences in Patong Beach
Where Should You Go at Night in Patong
Patong’s pulsating nightlife never fails to attract curious visitors every evening. It’s hard to resist a wander down Soi Bangla – the heart of the bar scene where neon lights and deafening music compete for your attention. Over 100 bars – including beer bars, go-go bars, nightclubs and pubs – are condensed into the small, action-packed area fondly known as “Bangla”, where the only priority is to have a good time.
Besides Bangla Road, Patong Beach contains other interesting nightspots along its 2 main strips – Rat-U-Thit Road and Thaweewong Road (the beach road). The former hosting Paradise Complex, the centre of the gay nightlife scene in Phuket, as well as international-brand venues such as Hard Rock Café and Hooters. The latter features some cool live music pubs and restaurants, as well as the first-ever dance club, opened in 1993 in Patong: Banana Disco.

Bangla Road really comes to life once the sun sets. The road is closed to vehicle traffic and becomes a 400 metre festival of neon lights, loud music and cheap beer. Jammed most nights of the year, it’s quite a friendly and lively place to walk around as bars and clubs compete with each other for customers. If you’re looking for a fun night out in Phuket, Bangla Road should be your first (and, often, only) stop.
It sometimes seems like anything goes along Bangla Road, with an incredible variety of things to see and do. Alongside international-standard nightclubs are hundreds of beer bars and dozens of go-go bars, as well as street performances, vendors, lounge bars, games, live music and more. Taken with the right attitude, it’s a barrel of laughs. Más información

Soi Sea Dragon is the main place in Phuket to find go-go bars. The most notorious of these is Suzy Wong which, despite being the furthest from the Bangla Road, is still the most popular by a significant margin. Other notable names on the street include Harem, Club Lover and Devil’s Playground. These are definitely not family-friendly venues are can be pretty shocking if you don’t have a very robust sense of adventure. Note that drinks prices are higher in these venues than in the beer bars, putting them on a similar scale as Bangla Road’s nightclubs. Más información
