9 Best Nightclubs in Patong

Illuzion Phuket is one of the most impressive night spots in Phuket's most popular resort town: Patong Beach. Located in the heart of the nightlife entertainment area of Bangla Road, Illuzion is set on the second storey of a large building.

Equipped with the latest first-rate sound and lighting equipment, Illuzion is a surprising venue able to hold almost any type of event. From standard dance club rocked by house music and special guest DJ live performances to Las Vegas-style shows performed by local and international professional dancers, Illuzion can suit a wide range of partygoers’ tastes.

White Room Nightclub is an old and well-known name on Patong Beach’s famous Bangla Road. It once underwent a major reboot, providing a larger, chic and modern party space. The first-class lighting rigs and sound systems here – along with top talents on the decks – make it a fantastic place to party, while the décor and design give it a degree of sophistication.

Tiger Nightclub has a large, rather dark room flanked by bars on each side, and dozens of high round tables with bar stools occupying the central part. Big tiger statues make up the décor.

A live band plays on a stage at the back of the room. Facing the stage, you’ll see a staircase leading up to Tiger's 3rd floor, which has a DJ booth. You can observe the 2nd-floor action from this floor. There are about a dozen pool tables behind the DJ booth.

Located at the beach end of Bangla Road, Hollywood Phuket is a well-loved nightlife spot for many years. It briefly changed names in the past, but returned to its roots not long after, bringing back the great parties with excellent EDM and house beats it has been known for.

Sugar Club Phuket is a popular hip-hop club with live DJs on Patong Beach’s Bangla Road. You can find it on the 3rd floor of Seduction, which is also a big name on the Bangla Road nightlife strip. Sugar Club is dedicated to hip-hop, often highlighting big international artists on various gigs that are scheduled throughout the year. Secure a spot around their mezzanines for a view over the action on the central stage, or simply hit the dancefloor and let yourself loose.

Gossip Nightclub Phuket is a hip hop lounge and club that offers a modern clubbing scene on the infamous Bangla Road. The 4 F’s – ‘Fun, Fresh, Funky, and Free (entrance)’ is the motto of this attractive venue which aims to attract people in search of a trendy place in the heart of Patong Beach. There’s certainly a classy touch to Gossip but prices remain affordable and comparable to other venues along the same strip.

On Top Day & Night Beach Club is a funky rooftop, poolside party place on the top of the Hotel Swissotel Resort Phuket Patong Beach on Ruamjai Road. With tasty snacks, an impressive range of ingenious signature cocktails, and even a resident mermaid, what it lacks in actual proximity to the beach, it more than makes up for in other ways.

Paradise Beach Club Phuket is a large and well-developed party spot in an isolated bay near Patong. Featuring shops, restaurants, activities and fantastic Koh Phangan-style beach parties, it has an air of exclusivity without being prohibitively expensive.

Paradise Beach Phuket is practically unique among the beach clubs on the island in the way that it celebrates the phases of the moon – it recreates the famous full-moon parties of Koh Phangan, along with half-moon and black-moon’ parties.

TaiPan Disco is a combination of a pub, bar and a club with live music (usually alternating between pop and rock) from 8.45pm until around midnight, before turning into a disco until closing time. They also have exciting games, prizes, and pole dancing. The crowd is made up equally of expats and tourists. Happy hour is usually from 8.30 to 10pm. After that, drinks can get pretty pricey.
