Phuket Nightlife Guide

If you're still hungry for more stimulation at the end of the day you won't be disappointed by the range of entertainment and nightlife Phuket has to offer. Nearly all the tourist areas have some bars where you can enjoy a drink, though you will need to head over to the larger resort areas such as Patong or Karon for a more vibrant atmosphere. For discos and nightclubs, and the widest variety of bars, Patong is the place to be.
