Frequently Asked Questions

Where Should I Go for New Year in Phuket?

Patong Beach is the heart of Phuket's nightlife, and Bangla Road is where most of the New Year party happens. It comes alive at night with bars, clubs and entertainment for every taste, and turns into a pedestrian zone in the evenings. I'd start with a drink at a bar, then move on to the clubs.

Do Go-Go Bars in Patong Charge an Entry Fee?

No. Unlike some other places in Thailand, the go-go bars in Patong don't charge entry fees. You just order a drink, with prices ranging from 180 to 200 baht at the time of writing, and you can enjoy the entertainment without hidden costs. Prices may rise on New Year's Eve, so check before ordering.

What Is the Best Nightclub in Patong for New Year?

Illuzion Show and Discotheque is a massive club known for spectacular performances and top-notch DJs, so it's where I'd go to dance until late. Tiger Night Club has a multi-level design, and White Room Nightclub boasts excellent sound systems. Sugar Club has hip-hop and VIP areas if you want to party in comfort.

What Is the Oldest Go-Go Bar in Patong?

Suzy Wong's A-Go-Go is one of the oldest go-go bars in Patong, offering an unforgettable party atmosphere with friendly staff. Moulin Rouge is a Russian-themed go-go bar with an extravagant feel, but be prepared for higher drink prices there. Check both bars' prices before you sit down, especially around New Year.

Where Can I Get a View of the Coast in Patong?

Andaman Sky Lounge is on the 19th floor and offers stunning views of the coastline, which makes it a good place to start the evening with a cocktail. For something poolside, Casa Boho is a bohemian-style bar known for handcrafted cocktails, and Kamala Beach Club is more relaxed, with cocktails by the sea.

What Is Simon Cabaret in Phuket?

Simon Cabaret is a cabaret show featuring dazzling performances by talented entertainers, and I'd suggest it as a fun way to kick off your night. It's different from the bars and go-go clubs on Bangla Road, so it suits a group or a gentler start to New Year's Eve. Check show times and ticket prices before you go.

What Food Is Available on Bangla Road After a Night Out?

There is street food available late into the night along Bangla Road, and it's a great way to refuel before heading back out or winding down your evening. Prices vary by stall, so check before you order. I'd eat early in the night if you plan a long New Year's Eve.

How Do I Stay Safe on New Year's Eve in Patong?

Always keep an eye on your belongings and be cautious about accepting drinks from strangers. Be friendly and approachable, respect local customs and be respectful towards women. The nightlife scene thrives on social interaction, so a polite chat goes a long way. I'd also agree prices before ordering anything.

Is There Anything to Do Near Patong During the Day?

Yes. While Patong is the main hub of nightlife, I'd consider visiting nearby beaches like Kata or Karon for a more laid-back vibe during the day, before returning to Patong at night. It's an easy way to recover before a long New Year's Eve party on Bangla Road.
