Best Things to Do in Phuket at Night
Phuket does not switch off when the sun goes down. Whether you are after a proper party, a dressed up evening by the beach, or something a bit more unusual to tell people about when you get home, the island has an evening to match. Here is where to go depending on the kind of night you are after.

Looking for a Karaoke Spot in Phuket?
Yes, it exists, and yes, it is an experience. If you know KTV from elsewhere in Asia, you will feel right at home with private rooms, mood lighting, mirror tables and full commitment to the bit.
Head to Central Festival Mall (Main wing) and up to the cinema floor, then take a left. You can pack a group in, order far too much food, and stay singing until the early hours. Song choice covers English, Thai, Chinese, Korean and more, though anything outside the mainstream libraries gets trickier since there is no Bluetooth or external device support. YouTube becomes your backup plan.
Prices vary depending on hours, food and whether you order alcohol. It is best suited to birthdays or group nights when a beach bar will not quite cut it. Odd, fun, and worth doing at least once.
Beach Clubs Worth Dressing Up For
Phuket’s beach club scene covers everything from lazy sunset drinks to full blown parties, and two spots stand out for very different reasons.
Catch Beach Club in Bang Tao is beach vibes done properly by day, ideal for chilling with a drink in the sand. Once evening hits, the mood shifts and things get a little more dressed up, with fire shows on the beach adding to the atmosphere. It works well whether you are easing into the night or making it the main event.
Yona Beach Club is Phuket’s floating beach club, moored out in the Andaman Sea and reached by boat transfer from the pier. It delivers boat party energy without the price tag of renting a boat yourself, which makes it one of the better value nights out on the island if a party at sea is what you are after. Sessions run at set times, so it is worth checking current timings and any age restrictions before booking, since the evening session is adults only.
Three Monkeys for a Sophisticated Night Out
Tucked into Wichit inside Hanuman World, Three Monkeys is a jungle set restaurant and bar that suits a proper date night or a more relaxed group of drinks. Drinks run on the expensive side, but the setting and overall experience make it worth the spend. It is less about loud nightlife and more about a good view, good company and a slower pace, which makes it a solid pick if you want an evening out that does not feel like a full on club night.
A Word on Night Markets
Phuket’s night markets deserve their own guide, and we will be covering them properly in a future post. For now, know that they exist as a genuinely different kind of evening out, with food stalls, local crafts and a much more laid back pace than anything above. Worth keeping on your list for a different sort of night.
