Phuket nightlife great fun
A recent trip to visit the Phuket gave me a bit of an eye opener in terms of the Phuket nightlife.
First I was tempted into a touristy club that served cheap booze and popular dance tunes. It was great fun and was full of Western vacationers here for a good time. This is pretty much what I expect from a club in a tourist area. There are clubs all around the island that cater to hip hop and dance music hits.
Next on my list of things to do was to visit the gold standard of the Phuket nightlife: the ‘traditional’ Thai club. These clubs are cantered around a group of friends, and table, a bottle of liquor and a local cover band cranking out the classics. There’s nothing wrong with this type of club at all but when it’s pretty much all there is to offer, it is easy to find it stale.
Except that this is no longer all the Phuket nightlife has to offer springing up with increasing regularity are the nightspots catering for heavier music from dance to electro and break beat. These new styles of music have not caught on in Phuket as well as in Bangkok, but it is easy to feel that it’s only a question of time before this changes; Phuket nightlife is all the better for some variety like this. Definitely recommended.
