Patong Discos and Night Clubs
Phuket Nightlife
While Patong's discos and dance clubs don't compare in size or sophistication with their Ibiza counterparts, they do offer a groovy fun atmosphere. The fashion police are noticeably absent, which makes for a friendly and generally welcoming place to groove, so before you say " I don't dance," check them out; but not before 11pm!
Banana Disco
The oldest and one of the most popular discos in Patong still packs em' in after 10 years! An outdoor bar area directly in front of the air-conditioned disco, usually has a live band until around 11pm, and makes an ideal venue to survey the talent before before getting up-close-and-personal inside.
Despite the crowds (especially around midnight) Banana rarely has any trouble, mainly due to good music, efficient bar staff and strict ID policy that keeps the very young out.
A cover charge (200 Baht which includes the first drink) ensures Patong's working ladies remain at arms length - at least for most of the week. Mainly House music with some old favs depending on the crowd. Patong's international crowd ensures you'll never have the same experience twice. Located right on the Beach Road, close the entrance of Soi Bangla.
Location: Beach Road, near Bangla Road intersection
Baya Beach Night Club
One of Patong's original hot spots, Baya Beach always seems to be celebrating a party of some sort! The entrance is often covered in balloons and the girls appeal to male egos by wearing outfits last seen on Barbie in the 90's. Baya is a kind of legendary mini-disco and party place which you either love or hate.
Location: Opposite on Bangla Road, between Tai Pan and Rock City
Hollywood Disco
Open just a few years back, Hollywood has made its name as one of the best clubs in Patong. It features two rooms with different designs and themes as well as music. Be entertained not only by the in-house deejays and few famous names from Bangkok and overseas. Games and prizes are part of a fun night out at Hollywood and they occasionally give away big prizes such as motorcycles and TVs. The best time to stop by is after midnight when it is relatively easy to meet friendly local girls (if that’s in your agenda.)
Opening Hours: 22:00 until lateLocation: Soi Bangla (Soi Easy)
Tel: +66 (0) 82-799392 (for table reservation)
Seduction Discotheque
Seduction Discotheque has raised the bar for disco's in Patong. Located at the northern end of Soi Bangla, to find it you just have to look for the red carpet that leads to the door! Big name DJ's from Bangkok and around the world play here on occasion, one of which is Judge Jules (UK).
A mixed Thai and tourist crowd packs the club most nights of the week to party to whatever's hot with an R&B theme on the first floor and house/dance on the second, a vivacious atmosphere is virtually guaranteed. Swanky décor includes colour changing chandeliers which hang above the bars, on the second floor the circular DJ booth is raised up in the middle of the dancefloor which also has palm trees dotted around. Unusually for a disco the even the toilets are plush and clean!
Location: Bangla Road, on the side of Tiger DiscoSafari Disco and Pub
Patong's late night disco venue, Safari used to stays open long after everywhere else has closed... but Safari was closed down in July 2011. RIP
Location: On the outskirts of town, on the road towards Karon, just south of Patong.
Tai Pan
Tai Pan is a combination of a pub, bar and a club with live music (pop/rock) from 21:45 until almost midnight, then the place turns into a disco (no entry fee). They have games, prizes, and pole dancing and the crowd is made up equally of expats and tourists. Happy hour is from 20:30 – 22:00, after that drinks get pretty pricey.
Opening Hours: 20:30 until lateLocation: Diagonally opposite Soi Bangla
Tiger Disco and Bars
Enter the slightly surreal world of Tiger! Crouching tigers and a fantastic hooded cobra mark the entrance to this extravagant entertainment venue just off Soi Bangla. It's like entering a set from the Flintstones!
Downstairs, the bars offering a platter of groovy music and pole dancers draw in a mixed international crowd looking for a party! Designed like a colourful and rather bizarre cave, outdoor bars like the Hot Rock Bar occupy the main ground level while the disco located an upper floor above the bars is usually packed most nights of the week. Hang around the bars and be entertained by the girls. Located Soi Bangla.
White Room Disco
A small but popular disco at the very end of Soi Gonzo in Bangla. It can get crowded, mostly with Australian, after 11pm.
Location: Soi Gonzo, Bangla Road
