Phuket has evolved into a bustling town full of attractions and entertainment venues. Even though the natural beauty of this place drives a lot of tourists, the buzzing nightlife in Phuket makes it a magnet to many. The areas surrounding the beach have the best options including discos, restaurants, sundowners and great gigs.
Phuket’s nightlife is extremely varied, even if it's best known for being a bit extreme. From wild nightclubs to quiet little beer bars and from dinner shows and sipping a cocktail at a beach bar, it’s all there for those who want it. Of course, Patong is the undisputed nightlife centre of Phuket. From 9 pm every night, the town is buzzing and doesn’t stop until the wee hours.
Kata and Karon have similar, if more modest, nightlife scenes while even Phuket Town boasts a few hopping clubs that cater mainly to locals. Bangtao Beach features classy hotspots but is otherwise a relatively quiet area. Lastly, Rawai, in the south of the island has rapidly developed into a party town.
