Patong Nightlife – Explore the Wild Party Scene in Patong at Night

A night out in Patong from Khao Lak — Bangla Road's neon and bars, cabaret and the wild side of Phuket, with a private driver to bring you home.

Full day Hotel pickup in Khao Lak
Overview

The day, unhurried.

Khao Lak is a popular destination in Thailand for tourists looking to relax on picturesque beaches or immerse themselves in the region's pristine nature. Many visitors to Khao Lak go to the Similan and Surin Islands or explore Khao Sok National Park, one of the oldest rainforests on the planet. However, Khao Lak is not known for its nightlife and you may want to let loose for a night but can't find a place to party. So if you're seeking a lively party scene while on holiday, we can take you to vibrant and exciting Patong Beach in Phuket, home of the world-famous Bangla Road Night Walking Street! In Patong, the nights come alive!

Tips for Patong at Night

• Drink water! Many tourists venturing to Thailand forget to drink enough water. This becomes especially important when you decide to enjoy a few drinks. Alcohol combined with high heat and humidity is a recipe for extreme dehydration. Be sure to drink some water while you are in Patong. A terrible hangover is the least of your worries if you become severely dehydrated!

• Use common sense and be safe. Trust your gut. If walking down a dark alley feels like a bad idea, it likely is.

• Have a way to stay in touch with your friends and family. It is a great idea to get a local Thai SIM cards for everyone in your group. It can be very easy to get separated in crowds and not so easy to find each other again.

• Choose a meeting point to regroup at. If you don't want to invest in Thai SIM cards, be sure to pick a meeting point that you can return to if you lose a member of your group. If you are on Bangla Road, there is a police station on the beach at the west end of the road that makes for a great meeting point.

• Don't flash money around. It is a good idea to keep your bank roll well hidden. Keep smaller denominations on the ready for when it comes time to buy a drink. Flashing large amounts of money can make you an easy target for pickpockets.

• Know your limit. Make sure you do not become so intoxicated that you can't find your way around. The party at Bangla can get a little crazy, so it's up to you to know your limits.

• Do not break any laws. Refrain from buying or doing anything that can get you in trouble with the Royal Thai Police. If you wish to partake in an activity or purchase something, and your not sure if it is legal or not, it is a good idea to do your research beforehand. Thailand is the land of smiles, but you won't be smiling if you get arrested for illicit drugs use or for buying contraband items.

• Last, but not least, remember the Golden Rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The best way to stay out of trouble and have a great time in Thailand is to be respectful to everyone.

Before you go.

What does the Patong Nightlife tour include? +

The tour covers round-trip hotel transfer from Khao Lak to Patong (approximately 1 hour 30 minutes each way) and dedicated evening time on Bangla Road — the centre of Phuket's nightlife. The price of ฿900 per person covers transport only; drinks, entry to paid venues, and meals are at your own expense.

When does the tour run and what time does the minivan return? +

The minivan departs Khao Lak hotels at approximately 8 pm and arrives at Bangla Road by 9:30 pm. The return transfer departs Patong at around 1–1:30 am and reaches Khao Lak by 3 am. Exact times are confirmed at booking. The return is a fixed shared-transfer departure — guests must be at the agreed pickup point on time as the driver cannot wait.

Is Patong safe for solo travellers and first-timers? +

Bangla Road and the surrounding Patong district are high-traffic, well-policed entertainment areas. The usual precautions apply: keep valuables out of sight, agree prices before accepting a drink or service, and stay aware in quieter side streets late at night. Solo travellers — including women — take this tour regularly without incident. Travelling as part of the group and returning on the shared transfer is the safest approach.

Tolle Tour mit Fabio (deutschsprechend) und seinem Team. Wir starteten in Patong. War zwar eine lange Hin und Rückreise aber es hat sich mehr als gelohnt. Similan Island ist eine Reise wert und die Veranstalter haben sich alle Mühe gegeben. Wir wurden den ganzen Tag mit Getränken und Essen und Obst versorgt. Auch für die Speedbootfahrt hatten sie was dabei sollte einem übel werden Danke Fabio mit Team für diesen wunderschönen Tag :)

Organisation faîte pour le tourisme de masse a l'opposé de la sortie qu'une autre société nous avait organisé au Surin. Ici c'est l'abattage pour un maximum d'argent. Équipage pas particulièrement sympa. Par contre les îles Similan sont magnifiques . Pour le snokeling, les coraux sont cassés et les fonds pas merveilleux. Beaucoup de petits poissons et avec cde la chance, on peut voir des tortues.

Our day at the Similan Island...

Our day at the Similan Island was amazing, we saw so much at a pace that was long enough at each stop to really explore and enjoy the beach, but not so long that we were waiting around. I was impressed by how organized each stop was, allowing us independent time, to do our own thing, while the guides remained accessible to answer questions or address any inquiries, then efficiently collecting the group back up to keep us on track. As a water drinker, they supplies us with more beverages than then even I could drink and the food was amazing and plentiful throughout the day. A shout out to Don and Checo who made the day that much more memorable

Nice but disappointed..

The excursion was nice, but overall very disappointing! The stop at the cave was completely pointless. All you see are simple stalactites and a few bats that you're not allowed to shine a light on so as not to disturb them. The trek is too short to really appreciate and see any wildlife! And finally, a huge disappointment because there isn't even a quick photo stop to see the famous "Three Brother Rocks" that make this lake so renowned! Sorry but I definitely do not recommend this activity!

Wunderschön!

Ein wunderschönes Ausflug, den ich jedem nur empfehlen kann! Traumhafte Strände, unwirklich blaues Meer, und tolle Schnorchelstops mit unzähligen bunten Fischen und auch einer Schildkröte. Da lohnt sich die lange Bootsfahrt definitiv! Wir waren jedoch in einer ziemlich großen Gruppe von fast 30 Leuten, die auch über z. B. Getyourguide gebucht hatten. Es hat dem Erlebnis aber keinen Abbruch getan! Die Verpflegung war jederzeit super! Snacks und Getränke gab's auf dem Boot, zusätzlich zum leckeren Mittagessen. Sonnencreme nicht vergessen!

If you love elephants 👍

Overall a good day especially a great experience and time spent with the elephants. Unfortunately the tour was spoiled by the speeds at which the driver was travelling, very dangerous and scary (Over 100kph in a 50kph zone and regularly at around 130-140kph on the open road). We could constantly hear the ‘Excessive Speed Alarm’ in the vehicle beeping. It maybe acceptable locally to drive at excessive speeds but not when you are driving a tour bus. Both my wife and myself felt unsafe. Some of the other passengers also commented. Very disappointing.

Très professionnels et très sympas

Nous avons fait déjà 3 excursions avec khao lak land discovery. Les îles Similan, les îles surin et le lac de khao soc. L'organisation est très professionnelle. Ils viennent te chercher à l'hôtel en minibus puis direction leur embarcadère au sud de khao lak, petit déjeuner puis embarquement dans un de leurs speedboat. Chaque bateau peut contenir 40 personnes mais dans notre cas les deux fois pas plus de 30 personnes. Similan est top pour les poissons, surin pour les coraux impressionnant et le lac pour les paysages. Hugues et Jake sont des guides francophones qui connaissent parfaitement leur job et sont très sympas. Bref cette entreprise mérite d'être connue, tout est très bien organisé et correspond parfaitement à ce qu'ils indiquent sur leur site. Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés.

A great trip to the Surin Islands

We (4 adults) booked a day trip to the Surin islands. We were picked up just after 7AM at our Khao Lak hotel. We were first on our minibus and after 2 more pickups we arrived at the port at 7:45. A light breakfast was available then a safety briefing before we boarded our speed boat. Our boat was registered for 50 people but there were only about 30 of us on the trip. The journey out took 1.5 hours and we covered almost 50 miles. Although the sea was flat calm it was a bit bumpy and a few people were quite pleased when we arrived at our first stop. The first stop was for snorkelling (all equipment provided) over a reef on the south island. It was great with plenty of healthy reef, fish and a few octopus. The water was crystal clear and warm. When we returned to the boat after 45 minutes or so the guide suggested that he would like to change the itinerary. He explained that if we went to the main island then, we would be the first boat to arrive. We arrived there at 11AM. We were again given a briefing and had 2.5 hours to explore and have lunch. The beach was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. At the end of our time there we again boarded our boat and set off visit the Morken Sea Gypsy village spending about 30 minutes there. The guide gave us lots of interesting information about the people and their history. Our last stop was another 45 minute snorkelling stop over another reef. When we started our return journey it was obvious that the wind was much stronger that on our journey out and some of the waves had started to have white crests. The journey was very bumpy and a few people were ill. We arrived back safely just over 90 minutes later. The busses were waiting for us on our return and we were soon back at our hotel. The 2 guides on the trip were excellent always keeping an eye out for us and supplying information when needed or asked for. An excellent day out.
