The famed Phuket Simon Cabaret has two spectacular shows a night
(call 01-737 0860 to book a show), while the newly opened Sphinx
Restaurant and Theatre offers dining and live dance shows in a classy
setting.
Fans of rugby, football and other pro sports worried about missing
the big games will be relieved to hear that Patong has numerous
sports pubs with satellite TV links to all the favourite European
and international matches.
Dancing fiends will not be disappointed with the long-running Banana,
Tai-pan and Safari discos being consistently popular places to shake
a leg, while newcomers to the scene are Star Club (formerly the
Shark) and Tiger discos. For live music, good bets are Molly Malone's,
Scruffy Murphy's and Margarita pubs, and The Port at Banthai Beach
Resort with its marvellous Filipino band and twirling stage.
The myriad shopping outlets and open-air markets, bowling alleys,
bookshops and cafes offer an alternative for those looking for quieter
nighttime options.
Phuket City
Patong is the known as the place to go after the sun goes down
in Phuket, but Phuket City has a distinctive nightlife scene that's
worth checking out. With a blend of DJ tunes and trendy atmosphere,
Kor Tor Mor, Seua Saming and XVI are the hot spots at the moment.
For live music, there are few better spots than Timber Hut or Jammin',
where local bands belt out hits and old favourites night after night.
For a more local flavour, stop in at a karaoke or 'singsong' bar
- there are many all over the city. Just look for the fairy lights
or neon signs.
