Surin Beach Nightlife

Where to Go at Night in Surin Beach

Surin nightlife changes with the seasons. From November to May party life buzzes along the beach and further inland. For the rest of the year, however, the area's nocturnal activities are pretty much confined to the row of restaurants and bars that lead to the Chedi from Surin's main four-way intersection.

This road is known locally as Soi Haad Surin 8. Don't expect a Patong nightlife ambience in Surin. It's a more tasteful, laid back experience and all the better for it.

Catch Beach Club

Surin Beach at Night Part of the Twinpalms Phuket hotel and situated towards the beach, Catch is a chic eatery separated by a road through the middle. Don't expect to get 10-wheel, diesel-belching trucks coming through, though: Just locals and tourists out for an evening stroll. Apart from excellent food and drink, Catch features international music artistes performing their own compositions and visiting DJ’s. Catch has also thrown some amazing party evenings so keep an eye out for them.
Open: Daily 11:00-01:00 (Kitchen, last order 22:30).
Location: On the beachfront directly across the road from TwinPalms Resort.
Tel: +66 (0) 76 31 6567

Diver’s

One of Phuket's better known personalities is Diver, an Australian who has been on the island for many years. He runs a beach bar called 'Diver's' (wouldn't you just know it…) where many Phuket Old Hands congregate nightly for a chat and beer. You can join them by walking a few hundred metres south down the beach from Surin Beach's car park.
Open: 09:00 until the last person leaves.
Location: A few hundred metres south down the beach from Surin Beach Car Park.

Stereo Lab

The Stereo Lab Beach Club and Lounge is a relatively recent addition to Surin Beach’s nightlife. It usually gets busier later in the evening but many go there early for a drink and to catch the sunset. The décor is outstanding; Stereo Lab features a beach bar with white rattan chairs and tables, a games room and a Moroccan lounge. The venue offers a full bar, a wine cellar and a tapas menu. Like Catch Club, they stage regular parties so call to check for the schedule.
Open: Daily from 11:00 to 02:00
Location: At the southern end of Surin Beach.
Tel: +66 (0) 89 218 0162.

Envision Wine Bar

An altogether more upmarket option on this strip is Envision Wine Bar, run by one of Thailand's largest wine importers. It's a great spot to drink a bottle or two. On top of the good wine selection, they also offer a good range of Havana cigars and do regular wine-and-dine evenings.
