Phuket is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the world, receiving more than 8 million vacationers yearly. Formerly known as Thalang, Phuket is Thailand’s largest island and is about the same size as Singapore. It is found off the west coast in the Andaman Sea and is about 536 miles south of the capital, Bangkok. It is quite popular for its beautiful beach areas, including Patong, Karon, Kata, Kata Noi, Rawaii and Nai Harn Beach. And it is also home to a number of National Reserves, making it the ideal place to enjoy nature. In spite of its serene environment, Phuket also presents a busy and colorful night life for interested travellers. So you don’t need to worry about having fun if you do decide to book in Banyan Tree Phuket for the summer as the region is sprawling with bars and clubs, to ensure visitors have all their leisure needs met. Patong beach, for instance, is not only well-known for its white sand coast and coral blue water but also for its impressive offering of fun nocturnal activities. This 3.5 kilometer beach is actually lined up with different establishments meant for socializing and drinking; most of which centered on two places – Paradise Complex and Bangla Road. Admission fees are about 100 baht per person and drinks are valued at the same minimum price. Majority of the folks you see here will be European. But there will be the occasional American, Australian and Asian participating in the revelry and having a good time. Karon is a close competition of Patong when it comes to entertainment. However, it adapts a more wholesome atmosphere and is considered a family-friendly area. Yes, there are still a few seedy facilities like in Patong that offer companionship. But majority of the businesses in this place are for dining and drinking. The bars are located in Patak Road, adjacent to the northern traffic circle, onwards to the south, just off Luang Poh Chuan Road. Kata is another location that offers wholesome means for amusement and it’s just a 10 minute drive from Patong. Now, despite its size, tourists can expect a more enjoyable, laid back and relaxed night life experience here with its collection of restaurants and outdoor cafes. You’ll find Club Med at the beach front and a number of other bars along the back road. And you can enjoy cocktails and beer any time, with a great view of the ocean. Surin is the complete opposite of Patong in its nocturnal party contributions and is considered to add a more upscale feel to the whole experience than any of the three combined. The scene typically changes depending on the season. But here you can find a confined row of tasteful bars and restaurants, particularly on Soi Haad Surin 8, featuring international acts, delicious fares and drinks and breath-taking sceneries. Now, if you intend to enjoy the best of what Phuket town has in store, you could drive up from Banyan Tree Phuket to Soi Rommanee, where you can find attractive Sino-Portugese style shophouses, bars, and cafes. And additionally, drop by Chana Charoen Road and chill out in European style pubs that feature mini theater performances.
