Rat-U-Thit Road (Northern Part)

Nicky’s Handlebar

This bar, as the name suggests, features Harley Davidson's. It is of course a favourite hangout out for bikers but many none-bikers like this place for its good food and friendly staff. At Nicky’s, you can enjoy pool, bar games and good music as well as book motorcycle tours or rent motorcycles. Talk about convenience...

Location: Near the Deli Shop.

The Playhouse Restaurant & Cabaret

This unique restaurant and theatre has New York-style cabaret shows at 20:30 and 22:30 nightly except Sundays. They successfully turned five ordinary shop-houses into a good-looking restaurant with an up-market environment and an outside beer garden. The Playhouse has a good range of dishes and is affordable. The theatre also hosts plays performed by the Andaman Players, a group of amateur actors made up of local Thais and expats. Call for its schedule. Read More...

Bangla Road / Rat-U-Thit Road Junction

Rat-U-Thit’s middle part houses many good entertainment spots, including a few of the hottest bars and nightclubs on the island; Rock City, Tai Pan, Margarita Bar and the well-run gay bars in the Royal Paradise Complex. Many of the bars here are so popular that it's hard to get a seat in them on weekend nights. Expect to pay a little more for drinks at some of these venues.

Baya Beach Night Club

Baya Beach is popular because it is a nicely set up, smallish club. It is a mellower sort of place with both outdoor and indoor sitting areas. The club usually gets busy after midnight and stays open till late. More than just a simple pickup joint, drinks are a bit pricey.

Location: Next to Tai Pan, opposite Soi Bangla.

Margarita Bar

The Margarita Bar is a level higher than the usual Bangla bar brashness and is a perfect place to people-watch and listen to the live bands playing every evening. Also offers food, TV and a pool table.

Location: Corner of Soi Bangla

Rock City

If you love rock ’n’ roll, this is the place to be or if you just want to have great time, then this place can guarantee a fun night out. Rock City has two levels inside and usually fills with a younger crowd. The tribute bands handle all sorts of rock, old and new throughout the night. There is an entrance fee of 100 baht (‘band charge’ as the sign at front claims). Drinks are on the expensive side.

Location: Next to Baya Beach, opposite Soi Bangla.

Soi Sansabai

Another soi filled with bars and pubs but less crazy than Bangla is Soi Sansabai. It used to be rather sad and dull but it seems that they are cleaning up very nicely. There are many longtime venues here and if you're a newcomer in town here's the place to get clued in with some Patong survival tips. Good watering holes here include the Siam House (with a trio playing easy listening music), the good looking Yorkshire Inn & Sports Club, a Scottish bar Fiddy's, Lek Murphy's Irish Bar, Power Bar, Blarney Stone Bar, Patrick’s Bar, Gonzo Bar and Billabong Sports Bar. Most of them have pool tables.

Location: Opposite Soi Bangla

Soi Sukhumvit

Soi Sukhumvit is a rather quiet soi but it is a perfect place to relax and chat with the friendly girls. It does not have the same buzz as Bangla Road which is sort of a good thing as this means you will get tons of attention from the 'halloooa you velly hansom' crowd. They also have plenty of pool tables.

Location: Opposite Ayudhya Bank, look for the 7-Eleven shop at the entrance.

Soi Tiger (Rat U Thit entrance)

The soi is full of affordable seafood/Thai restaurants which are set up in a very simple way, similar to the open-air food courts across the road from the Royal Paradise Complex. Notorious Bangla Road is a few steps away. Soi Tiger can be a convenient stop whenever you are hungry or need a break from the madness of the Bangla bar scene. Food is served from 15:00 to 03:00.

Location: Next to Soi Bangla

Tai Pan

Tai Pan Night Club has been open since 1999 and is a combination of a pub, bar and a disco. Live music (pop/rock) from 21:00 -23:30 then the place turns into a disco (no entry fee). They have games, prizes, girls on the poles and stage. The crowd is a mix between expats and tourists.

Highlights: Happy hour is from 20:30 – 22:00 and after that drinks get pretty expensive.
Location: Opposite Soi Bangla

Two Black Sheep

The Two Black Sheep Aussie Bar & Restaurant offers good food with reasonable prices with UBC sports on screen plus good live music from 22:00 onwards.

Location: Opposite the Royal Paradise Hotel

Jungceylon Shopping Center

Standing downtown, diagonally opposite Bangla Road, the Jungceylon Shopping Complex has radically changed the face of shopping in Patong. The two main stores in the complex are Robinson - a gleaming well-lit upper end department store comprising 200-plus stores, and Carrefour - a large French-based supermarket. Read More...

Rat-U-Thit Road (Southern Part)

Christin Massage

The southern part of Rat-U-Thit Road has a rich variety of restaurants and shops. On the road and in the sois leading off there are quite a number of massage shops with girls out front, luring customers inside but the biggest mama of them all is Christin Massage, a huge massage establishment where men with big smiles on their faces come out smelling strongly of soap.

OTOP Market

OTOP Market is a fun bazaar to explore, a casual place with rows of shops selling a wide and sometimes surprising range of items from traditional arts and crafts, clothes, lacquer ware, bags and ‘made-to-order’ paintings that take a few days to complete. If you find Soi Bangla too over the top, you'll probably like the calmer atmosphere at the open-air beer bars inside the OTOP Market. With small but cozy bars, (close to 30 of them in the middle of the market plus a huge screen showing all major football matches), the OTOP Market has become a new popular nighttime hangout.
