Phuket Nightlife

Phuket has a busy nightlife, second only to Pattaya among Thailand’s beach resorts. Patong Beach is by far the busiest, and seediest, of the lot. To some travelers, Patong’s nightlife can be a bit intimidating.

Patong’s nightlife spills out in all directions but the center of the maelstrom is Thanon Bung La (Bung La Road) and its four soi’s – Crocodile, Eric, Gonzo and Seadragon, packed with a frenetic mix of pubs, beer bars, and go-go bars. Soi Crocodile is also known as Soi Katoey, a reference to its many ladyboy’s. There are also a couple of good nightclubs with dance floors.

Thanon Bang La can be too much for some people, its a full on party atmosphere and should be something to remember for awhile.
