Patong Beach Nightlife

Paradise Complex

After Bangla, probably the most lively area in Patong is the Paradise Complex located in front of Royal Paradise Hotel. Mainly a male gay area, the Paradise Complex is popular with gay visitors and locals. More than 50 venues - bars, a-go-gos, karaokes, saunas, guesthouses, restaurants and discos - are packed into the u-shaped lane. For dancing, the longstanding Boat Bar always attracts a crowd, especially in the later hours.

Also has nightly cabaret shows. My Way, Uncle Charlie's bar and Tangmo (See our photo gallery of Ladyboys Shows ) are other spots that pack people in with their friendly staff and cabaret performances every evening. No entry fee requested, just order a drink once seated. Prices are normal and no overcharges or bad surprises.... just enjoy the show. Click here to read more about Gay Phuket.

Soi Sunset

Soi Sunset was once a thriving bar street, but much of it has been torn down to make way for the new TaiLife Health & Leisure Centre. Only a few bars remain, some which are expected to move to an area opposite the Expat Hotel.
