Patong Nightlife
Patong beach is the center and most popular of all tourist nightlife in Phuket.
Patong beach most of the nightlife on or around the Bangla Road. This road is approximately 600 metres long with many side streets ( called Soi’s ), exploring these you will find many shops, restaurants, market stalls and wall to wall beer bars. Beer Bars are usually small open air bars, large enough for 20 -30 people to sit around or in, they have a number of girls there to attract you into the bar, serve you drinks or dance on the bar, chat or play many various bar games, such as Jenga, Connect 4 etc. Bring your sharpest game if challenged as loser usually has to buy the drinks!!
Most Soi’s have there own DJ playing music to all the bars in that soi.
If you like a girl or enjoy the game you can buy her a lady drink. ( 150 – 200 Baht )
Go Go bars have some rip off places operating, always check the menu before ordering drinks.
Never use the Go Go Touts, They work for the rip off Places by charging you 900 Baht a drink when most only charge normal price drinks 160 Baht.
Most Agogo are in Patong near Soi Sea Dragon off Bangla Road you will find the largest number of Go Go bars in Phuket here.
Most singles or couples will want to see at least one on there visit, If your with a girlfriend that could be easily offended don’t try them.
In the Go Go Bars you will find girls displaying their charms and entertaining you. The girls usually dance on a raised stage around gleaming chrome poles. With the girls being a bit more covered in Patong then there is a lot more left to the imagination which always seems sexier than full nudity.
Some go go’s advertise ping pong shows, women perform acts with various objects from ping-pong balls, darts and maybe even small animals. Dancers in Go Go’s can be bar fined, if you wish to spend some personal time with them away from the bar.
