Phuket Island Thailand-Entertainment & Nightlife

Phuket Entertainment and Nightlife

Phuket has an incrediblby diverse array of nightlife and entertainment that will amaze you during your stay here.  There are the famous pubs and bars along Patong's Soi Bangla, the beautiful ago-go girls who will enchant you with their beauty, the "girls" that dance on the bars at "Soi Katoey" (who might have previously been performing at Simon Cabaret).

After perusing Soi Bangla, many visitors head to the local discos for some dancing and mingling at such locations as the Banana Disco, Safari Pub, and the Tiger disco.   After 3 a.m. the action starts to heat up at Soi Sunset (appropriately named as these bars usually go until the sun rises). 

Warning - The kata entertainment center is a scam and has mafia off duty cops who extort money from anyone who swims in their pool. A couple of nights ago one punter was seen swimming in the pool. The next thing you know these off duty mafia cops were extorting 1500 baht from this unlucky swimmer, even though they have a sign that clearly says swimming after hours will cost you 500 baht. What a scam. Photos of these thugs will be posted in a few days. AVOID KATA ENTERTAINMENT CENTER AT ALL COSTS UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET RIPPED OFF!

Sign clearly says 500 baht fine, not 1500 baht

Here's a photo of the two corrupt cops. From what the people at the bar say, they each have to pay these off duty corrupt cops 10,000 baht per month. What exactly do they do to earn this money besides extorting customers?

There are also many night time shopping centers and bazaars in which to pick up that perfect souvenir for your friends and relatives who could not make the trip.
