Here everything is seething and attracts with bright advertising signs. If you want to have fun all night, then go to Patong. A portion of fun and unforgettable impressions is provided to you.

It is impossible to imagine any resort without nightclubs where you can dance all night to world hits. In Phuket, most disco clubs are located in the Patong area. The most popular of them is the "Seduction" club, which consists of three levels. Each level has its own theme and music. Another great place where you can dance and have a good time is the Hollywood Club. It often hosts themed costume parties and raffles with prizes. Also in Patong is the Famous Club, the highlight of which is a glass-bottomed pool. Relatively recently, the clubs "Tiger" and "Illusion Discothèque" were built.

However, nightclubs are not only found in the Patong area, they can be found on the beaches of Kata, Karon, Rawai, as well as in Phuket Town.

They work from 10 pm until late at night. Entry is usually free or for a small fee.

Lady bars

Lady bars are often crowded with tourists who crave attention from Thai girls. But in addition to taeks, there are transvestites (ladyboys) here. Therefore, be careful, as the Thai woman you like may turn out to be a man. In lady bars you can drink beer, play some game, meet Thai girls. Usually, Thais themselves begin to flirt with foreigners, they can offer to play billiards or darts. If you wish, you can pay a certain amount of money and take the secret you like to your home. There are quite a lot of similar establishments on Bangla road.

Go-Go Bars

Most go-go bars are located in the Patong area. Signs with the inscription "Go-Go" actively invite tourists. Entering the bar, you will see places for visitors, as well as a stage where half-naked girls dance. After 10 pm the girls go on stage and start dancing. When the performance is over, you can take the dancer you like to your home for a fee.

Popular go-go bars in Patong are The Secret, Suzy Wong, Devil's Playground, Baccarat, Roxy. These bars are open from 10 pm to 2 am. Admission is usually free, but at least one drink is required.

Beer bars

If you just want to drink beer, chat with friends, then go to a beer bar. There you will be asked to try different varieties beer. Unlike lady bars, beer bars don't have secrets, so no one will flirt with you. Also, beer bars usually have billiard tables and TVs.

Music bars

If you love live music, then music bars are a great place for you. Here you will enjoy music to the fullest and meet Thai performers. In the music bar you can order beer, cocktails, snacks and chat with like-minded people.

Show

You can come to the show of transvestites with children, they will not see anything shameful there. There are two transvestite shows in Phuket: Simon Cabaret and Aphrodite Cabaret. Prices for shows for adults from 700 baht, for children from 500 baht.

There are also quite a few erotic shows in Phuket: ping-pong shows, bath shows, body drawings in the dark, and more. Similar shows are held in go-go bars.

I spoke quite briefly about the nightlife of Phuket. In addition to the listed nightlife, you can spend the evening in sports bars, cocktail bars, restaurants and upscale establishments. Come to Phuket and immerse yourself in its vibrant nightlife. Have a nice holiday!

The first thing to say about these beer establishments is that they go there not so much to drink beer as to meet local girls. The girls working in these bars are never against such acquaintances, and at least they will not refuse to drink beer with foreigners, at their expense, of course.

It is worth noting that these inhabitants of the beer bars, as a rule, speak English tolerably, and since they are young, spontaneous, curious and often quite beautiful, even a simple conversation with them can easily dispel an occasional boredom.

In the event that your interest in girls extends beyond just talking, the girl you like will not be surprised by such a development of events, and everything that happens next will depend solely on you. You can invite a girl to a restaurant or a disco, and generally play love. Or you can just explain to the girl in plain text what exactly you want from her. At the same time, the girl’s desires expressed by you are definitely not shocking, if only for the reason that these girls have seen a lot in their lives, and with a high degree of probability, they have seen much more than you.

If you choose the second option for the development of events, the question of money will naturally arise. general rule not here, however, if you do not want to tire the girl with your presence for a long time, the amount will spin around 1000 baht. And if you want to spend the whole night with a girl, then the figure will turn out to be close to 1500 baht.

In the case of the first option, there may not be a conversation about money, however, it does not at all follow from this that a girl can not be given money at all. It must be well understood that girls sit in bars not at all in order to kill time, but in order to earn a living. And the financial side of the relationship with them should be taken seriously, because in a rage, Thai girls can cause a lot of trouble. And it's not a joke. In any case, these troubles, in the form of a scratched face and the likely appearance of the police, will be much more serious than the disputed amount of 1000/1500 baht.

But what about sex for love, you ask, after reading what was written above.

It is quite possible if you can impress a local girl strong enough so that she, at least for a while, forgets about money. And, besides this, openly explain to her that you are not going to give money. And explain it to her before, not after.

What is written here may seem excessively cynical, but in fact, it is not so difficult, when talking with a girl, to find suitable and decent words in order to unobtrusively dot the money issue.

It is worth noting that for many European tourists, the promotion of local girls for free sex is something of a sport. The author of these lines repeatedly had to observe the Anglo-Saxons, bypassing the ranks of girls with phrases like “I’m poor student, blah-blah-blah”, and, characteristically, with a positive result. However, this sport also has its downsides. If a girl is good-looking, she will gladly laugh at such a joke, exchange a couple of phrases with a poor student, and remain sitting in a bar, waiting for a richer student to appear on the horizon. And the one whose external data is not impressive, and to which neither rich nor poor, will agree to such a proposal, will agree to such a proposal.

Concluding this topic, one cannot but say that communication with Thai girls, despite the fact that they are children of a completely different civilization and frankly want to extract money from you, is not much different from communication with girls in the vast expanses of our Motherland. Such is the paradox.

Common terminology and practice. Slang, overhead and taking girls to hotels.

If you intend to translate communication with local girls into a practical plane, it's good to have some idea of ​​the terminology established in their circle and, in general, about the technical side of this whole entertainment process. First, there are a few words and phrases that you will probably hear, and the meaning of which is worth understanding:

short time- this term means that you are not going to take away from the girl more than 2 hours of her precious time.

long time- means that you are going to invite a girl for the whole night.

Bar Fine- girls work in the state of bars, and you can’t just take them away from there; you need to pay the owners of the bar compensation, usually 300 - 500 baht.

Mamasan(less often - Papasan) - the owner (owner) of the bar and at the same time the manager of the girls; it is mamasan who demands bar fine from you, and at the same time, makes you buy beer or cola at a bar, at a price that will not please you.

Guest Fee– not only girls and bars want your money; many hotels also require money for allowing a girl to be taken to the room; as a rule, this amount is several hundred baht.

Another interesting question that cannot be ignored concerns the wire of the girls to the hotel. As a rule, Thai hotels are guest-friendly, exceptions to this rule are extremely rare, and apply only to especially expensive and especially respectable hotels. It is worth noting that if the hotel does not want guests to drive girls, this will be reported in such a way that it will not be possible to miss this information. For example, a poster with relevant content will be pasted on the door of your room.

As mentioned above, many (but not all) Thai hotels practice charging an additional fee for taking girls to the room, usually the amount is several hundred baht. If you fly to Thailand on a tour package, then with a probability of 90% you can expect that your hotel will be one of them. If you book a hotel on your own, then it is not so difficult to choose a hotel where girls can be taken for free. For example, to settle in those of the apartments where the reception works only during the day, and in the evenings there is no one to take money from the guests.

In the same case, if you have reasons why you do not want to take the girl to your room (for example, you suspect that your wife is hiding there with a rolling pin), nothing will prevent you from resolving the issue with the hotel on the spot. In the Bangla Road area there are countless hotels with prices of 500 - 1000 baht per night, and all of these hotels are well known to girls. So you don’t even have to puzzle over this problem: entrust the choice of a hotel to a girl, and she will cope with this task normally.

Possible adverse effects. Funny diseases and crime.

The pleasant, cheerful and life-affirming side of this case was mentioned above, now it's time to talk about the less pleasant side of the issue, about the possible medical and criminal consequences, the probability of which is not equal to zero.

The fact that you should always use a condom can probably not be written here, but what you should definitely write about is that a condom does not at all protect against unpleasant consequences.

And in order to minimize the likelihood of such consequences, you need to understand that all these funny diseases are not only medical, but also social in nature. In practice, this obvious fact is expressed in the fact that the probability of catching an infection from a girl working in an expensive and decent, by Thai standards, institution is quite small. But in the case of a lady working on the street, in some dirty alley, it is very large.

Criminal hardcore, in the form of clonidine, poured into beer, is typical, perhaps, only for Pattaya. In Patong, one of the troubles of this kind can be expected, perhaps, an unforeseen loss of material values, mystically associated with a visit by a girl to your room. As always happens in such cases, both sides are involved in the disappearance of money, mobile phones and laptops. The owners of material values, stunned by the meeting with another civilization, often do not realize the obvious and banal things. For example, that one should not test the honesty of girls with a bundle of dollars thrown to the mercy of fate in a desk drawer. And the girls? What is the demand from them? Even ministers and deputies can easily covet ownerless material values.

In fact, the likelihood of petty, and not very, theft is not so great, since a girl can go into all serious trouble only if she is 100% sure that she will not be found later. And in case you met a girl in a bar where she works, finding her is as easy as shelling pears, as if she left a copy of her documents at the hotel reception, such a copy is always made when paying a guest fee (a fee charged by the hotel for seeing a local girl to the room).

From what has been said above, one very simple and obvious conclusion can be drawn: do not chase cheapness. Girls working in Bangla Road establishments want to get not so stunning, by European standards, money, and trying to find cheaper options somewhere on the street can easily turn into both medical and criminal consequences.

Transvestites, they are katoi, they are ladyboys. How to distinguish a trance from a straight woman.

This topic cannot be ignored, since the entire Internet is full of funny (and not so) stories about encounters with these strange creatures. Reading these stories, it is not always possible to understand how their authors managed to get into such an anecdotal and often unpleasant situation.

The main reason for such adventures, however, lies on the surface and lies in the fact that at the time of their adventures, the authors of all these countless stories were, to put it mildly, drunk.

Otherwise, they would never have confused a boy with a girl, since no plastic surgery can turn a plowman, hunter and lumberjack into an elegant and defenseless creature, with a small, half the size of a man's hand, and an equally small and graceful leg.

The physiological differences between trannies and natural girls have probably been listed a thousand times already, but what has been written about quite rarely is that a trance (katoya) from real girl very easy to distinguish by their demeanor.

This difference in behavior lies in the fact that transvestites do not have innate female grace, and they play this grace the way actors play on stage. And since acting is a rare thing, they play lousy, constantly overact, look vulgar and overly cheeky, and flaws in their mimicry appear in absolutely everything, and in the manner of speaking, and in the manner of dressing, and in the manner of walking, and in the style of their makeup, etc., etc., etc.

In general, on a sober head, it is not the slightest difficulty to distinguish a trance from a straight woman. However, if you take 3 liters of beer on your chest, and put 700 grams of vodka on top, then the line between a boy and a girl can really become very unsteady, and those stories can happen that most people prefer not to tell about later.

P.S. In the event that you are not sure who is in front of you, trans or straight, pay attention, in addition to demeanor, to height, shoe size and palm size, those physiological data that cannot be corrected with plastic surgery. And if your potential chosen one is not inferior to you in height, behaves excessively cheeky and wears size 44 shoes, think about how joyful further communication with her will be for you;)

Other Entertainment Bangla Road. Discos, go-go bars and massage parlors.

Discos. There are almost a dozen of them in the Bangla Road area, all of them are located in a prominent place, and these establishments are definitely worth a visit.

These discos are decorated not without tricks, the acoustics are expensive everywhere, the sound, as a result, is clear and powerful, the music is mostly in the spirit of MTV. These establishments open at 9 - 10 pm, but the influx of the public in them usually happens closer to midnight.

Discotheques in Patong are not very suitable for dating Thai girls, at least dating in a discotheque is not mainstream for Patong.

Local girls, however, are present at discos, and are clearly divided into two categories: bar-girls, who spent the whole evening in their bar to no avail, and went on to further search for a source of wealth, and ordinary Thais who came to Phuket on vacation , and those who came to the disco just relax and have fun. It is not always possible to distinguish the former from the latter, even with an experienced eye, and it is this fact that complicates acquaintance with local girls, since communication with amateurs and professionals requires both a different approach and a different vocabulary.

However, as a place for dating, Patong discos have a plus of a slightly different property. These places are great for meeting fellow Thais, just in case the Thai girls didn't impress you enough. There are a lot of compatriots in Phuket, they all go to discos with pleasure, so there are always a lot of options for this kind of dating.

Go-go bars. There is not much to write about these establishments. Those go-go bars that are located on Bangla Road are an unfortunate parody of Pattaya establishments, and if you pass by them, then you will lose absolutely nothing in your life.

Massage parlors. In Patong, there is one salon of the same Thai massage. This establishment is called Christin Massage, and is a huge pink building located on Second Road (Thanon Ratuthit Songroipi Road), south of its intersection with Bangla Road.

It should be noted that the golden years of Thai (not wellness) massage are long gone, and at the moment Thailand is too rich and prosperous country for young and beautiful girls to agree to work in institutions like Christin Massage, which is essentially a job. on the sex line. In practice, the above is expressed in the fact that the ladies working in Christin Massage are frankly not young, and many of them are at such a venerable age that it is just right for them to nurse their grandchildren.

P.S. What was written above was relevant even ten years ago, and since there was no staff rotation in Christin Massage, today we can state that local priestesses of love are distinguished by simply phenomenal longevity.

Pictures of Bangla Road nightlife

To understand the attitude of Thais towards the behavior of girls who do not deny themselves the small joys of life, it is worth making a short historical digression.

To begin with, it is worth saying that Thai society has never known taboos and prohibitions on sexual activity, the very taboos that are so characteristic of Abrahamic religions.

The local religion, unlike the religions dominating in Europe, has always been liberal, tolerant and sympathetic to all aspects of human nature.

And the relationship of the sexes in Thailand has always been regulated by the most general religious and ethical principle, namely: no matter what a person does, his actions should not harm other people.

And since the relationship between girls and their, as they are now called, boyfriends, has always suited both sides, neither society, nor family, nor state and religious structures have ever interfered in these relations.

It is worth adding that Thailand has bypassed both the dubious views of medieval Europe, which revered virginity with amazing zeal, and the ideas of European totalitarianism of the 20th century, which sought to control a person’s actions, including through control of his sexuality.

The same worldview ideas that have been formed within Thai society itself are best conveyed by two very famous Thai words: “sanuk” and “sabai”. Without going into the intricacies of translation, the meaning of these words can be explained as follows: the sun is shining - sanuk, sitting next to beautiful girl- sabai, good music plays - sanuk, cold beer flows like a river - sabai, and so on, the list can be continued indefinitely.

In practice, the love of Thais for sanuk and sabai has led to the fact that they have learned to masterfully derive pleasure from the current moment of life, and their liberal view of the world has led to the fact that they do not interfere with enjoying life for others, and never climb into someone else's life if no one asks them to.

How everything that happens on Bangla Road looks in the eyes of the girls working there

The girls look at their work is simple and unpretentious. Sitting in the bars of Bangla Road, they are, paradoxically, looking for their happiness.

What constitutes, in their understanding, happiness, it will not be possible to explain in a couple of paragraphs, but it is easy to explain what, in their view, is not happiness.

Firstly, it is not happiness for them to work in a 7/11 store with a salary of 8-10 thousand baht per month. Secondly, and perhaps even firstly, happiness for them is not working in the rice field, in their native province of Isan, a job in which at 30 years old you can become an old woman, and at 40 years old you can go on a date with the Buddha .

In general, speaking bluntly, girls treat their work the way they treat any other, fairly well-paid job, which has its pluses and minuses.

These disadvantages are quite obvious, but it is worth mentioning the advantages especially, since they will surely surprise many readers of this text. These pluses are not so much that you can receive generous tips and live in a resort without any special worries, but that you can most likely find yourself a rich husband in this job. And it's not a joke.

Married couples consisting of a Thai and a foreigner (usually a European) are not uncommon in Thailand, and to understand the scale of this phenomenon, it is enough to say that in the province of Isan alone, more than 100,000 foreigners are registered on family visas (read - non-poor Europeans) .

So, the story of the famous film "Pretty Woman", with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere in the lead roles, for the girls sitting in the bars of Bangla Road, is not a fairy tale at all. For them, this is a very real prospect for the development of events, especially if the girl is moderately smart, not absurd, and beautiful enough to arouse the interest of wealthy European playboys.

How good is the nightlife of Patong compared to the nightlife of Bangkok and Pattaya

Both as a center for nightlife and as a center for sex tourism, Patong has never claimed the top spot in Thailand.

To tell the truth, in the case of Patong, this third place could never really be considered a prize, because against the background of Bangkok and Pattaya, Patong always looked like nothing more than a second league.

And this applied to all aspects of nightlife: the number, size and variety of places of entertainment; the number and appearance of local girls; and absolutely everything else.

So, the nightlife of Patong made a really strong impression on tourists only in one case, if they had not yet seen the nightlife of Bangkok and Pattaya.

The above was true even many years ago, in the best years for Patong, which, sadly, have long been left behind. At the moment, the nightlife in Patong is half empty, and this is not due to the decline or collapse of the Thai entertainment industry, but to the fact that in recent years the contingent of people who come to Phuket has changed a lot.

Young, active, and adventurous people now bypass Phuket, and are visited mainly by couples over the age of 40, who come to Phuket, mostly on tourist packages. This public is not inclined to participate in nightlife, and if it appears on Bangla Road, it is only to look at everything that happens from the side, as they look from the side at the life of animals in the zoo.

As a result, the girls who worked in the bars of Bangla Road, Patong are leaving, the bars themselves are half empty, and at the moment (season 2019) Patong, unlike Bangkok and Pattaya, is already difficult to recommend as a place suitable for having fun and spend your time adventurous.

Phuket night discos and the best music clubs are waiting for you. With the onset of darkness, life in Phuket does not stop, but smoothly flows into various entertainment venues and nightclubs. Many tourists and clubbers call Patong the street where sleep never comes.

And really, how can one sleep or have the opportunity to taste so many different nightly entertainments: discos, themed bars, concerts, evening shows, and sports - cafes, dance clubs, beer bars, etc. And all this fun awaits vacationers who wish to plunge into the nightlife of this amazing street.

Today we want to present you the best discos in Phuket, in the city of Patong, which we think are worth a visit.

Night club - disco "Seduction" (Phuket)

A nightclub, a disco in Phuket called "Seduction", which means "temptation" in Russian, is considered the hottest on Patong Street. This club in Phuket opened in 2006. He is clean with modern design, consists of three separate levels.

It is noteworthy that each of them has its own theme and pumps its own music. Seduction is a tastefully designed disco club and one of the best in Patong. It is spacious and never stuffy and suffocating like many other clubs.

The first club level works as a "Beach Bar" where it sounds mostly R*B/techno. All the chandeliers in the bar are light and music, that is, they change color all the time to the beat of the music.

The second level of the disco will delight its guests with house music, and of course club hits. His distinctive feature are: a round DJ booth raised above the dance floor and mirror balls.

These two floors can be visited by anyone, leaving four hundred baht at the entrance. But the third level, which is located on the top floor, is available only to selected people. Only the holders of the club card rest there.
Seduction invites visitors daily from ten in the evening until four in the morning.

During the week, almost every night there are "happy hours" when the slogan is: everything you can drink you get a big discount! Undoubtedly, this lifts the mood of those present and inspires the dancers.

You should also pay attention to tourists that this club is free from the presence of "moths".

Discotheque Hollywood (Hollywood) in Phuket

In Phuket there is a disco called "Hollywood" - a cool modern nightclub - a disco with a total area of ​​​​12,000 square meters. m., was opened in 2008. It has two excellent dance floors with different styles of music that sound in each of the halls.

In Hollywood, guests will have fun and have a good time, and the local security service will take care of the protection of the club in order to preserve the life and health of its visitors.

Entrance to the establishment is free. However, each guest of a night disco, as a precaution, will have to pass through a metal detector without fail and allow the contents of his bag to be inspected. Unfortunately, without these manipulations, it is impossible to get into Hollywood.

The staircase will lead visitors to the first hall with three bars. Soft sofas near low tables and high bar stools around large round tables invite guests of the disco to rest, relax, drink soft drinks and various cocktails.

In the second hall there is only one, but a large bar. Here, too, there are sofas, tables and bar stools to drink and relax. The club can pre-book a table, and is also non-smoking.

Hollywood is the best disco in Phuket, where there is an endless party. Special theme parties take place here every week, and it seems that it is not very important what events and dates are celebrated, because any topic is a great excuse for holding a new party.

The next party is the right occasion for all the employees as well as their customers to dress up in fancy dress according to the theme and update the design of the disco.

However, even on other days in a Hollywood nightclub there is no time to be bored. Lottery draws are constantly held there. Among the prizes: soft toys, T-shirts, drinks. But once a month there are also valuable prizes such as a motorbike and a TV.

Undoubtedly, the Hollywood disco in Phuket is one of the best clubs worth visiting. This nightclub is open daily: from nine in the evening - until late at night;

Disco Famous - Phuket

Famous - a very unusual nightclub - a disco, which is located on the roof of the shopping center ( shopping center) Jungceylon. The main attraction of the club is considered to be the pool, the bottom of which is glass! And besides, it is actually the ceiling of a nightclub, located on the floor below.

The Famous disco in Phuket is equipped with a modern light and music system and can accommodate 1,000 people at the same time. The interior design successfully combines Thai and Chinese paintings with live plants.

The nightclub has several lounges with bars, gardens and a smoking area. The range of drinks includes exotic cocktails prepared by professional bartenders.

Often the club hosts Foam Parties, Full Moon Parties, White Parties and Russian Nights.

Nightclub - disco Banana (Banana) in Phuket

The oldest night club in Patong is the Banana disco, which opened in 1993 and still exists today.

Each visitor at the entrance is subject to face control and passes through a metal detector. The entrance ticket costs 200 baht, but the first drink is included in its price.

Banana Disco - non-smoking area; you can smoke only in the bar located outside. In this nightclub, a local band performs world-famous classics as well as pop music.

Disco Banana in Phuket is open daily from ten in the evening until two in the morning.

Disco Tiger (Tiger) in Phuket

The new Tiger Disco in Phuket is a nightlife complex that opened in 2013. It is located on 3 levels, the total area of ​​​​which is 5000 square meters. m.

The disco is well lit, with powerful speakers in the ceiling that blast techno/dance music. The club bars have a wide range of drinks, as well as girls whose job is mainly to keep the client at the bar for as long as possible to pump up alcohol and “get to know each other better”.

The restaurant of the Tiger Club is located on the first floor of the complex. There, if you wish, you can dine in a more relaxed atmosphere and swim in the pool.

Only a small part of the island's nightclubs and discos is concentrated in Patong. In many parts of Phuket there are enough different nightlife spots for a great time.
