Tips to Party Like a Local in Phuket
- Always bring your ID to nightclubs in Phuket.
- Do not leave your belongings, food or drink unattended.
- Avoid carrying large amounts of money when going out at night.
- It is more economical to buy a bottle, mixer and ice bucket at the entrance of nightclubs in Phuket instead of portions or cocktails from bar counters.

The nightclubs in Phuket offer an experience which we believe is the extra sprinkle which elevates every traveller's vacation. So post sightseeing, shopping, or sunbathing, prepare to groove till dawn with family and friends, enjoying live shows and trendy menus till the sun rises.
