Phuket 2019 : The Parties

Moody's Cafe

Off Bangla Rd so if you want a slightly more relaxed evening this is it. Moody and his band are the best in Patong. 

Lion Music Bar

This very loud band draws a crowd every night and is my favourite on Bangla Rd.

Soi Freedom and Tao Bangla

Down a soi off Bangla so it's a bit quieter. The closest bar to the band has changed owner, name and staff since last year. Added bonus of some ladyboy caberet in-between sets.

Hippie Road

The bike parking off San Sabai now has a cluster of bars, most of which are pretty quiet. Hippie Rd has a pretty good rock band playing from midnight onwards. The Harley crowd like it because they can park right outside.

Jammin' Bar

Reggae Bar on Beach Rd; very chilled, outdoor space open very late.

Tums

A tiny old place in Soi Seadragon, Bangla Rd with a live band from 11pm. Neil likes it.

2 Chefs

Off Bangla. Decent food and a quieter 2 piece band.

Rocking Angels

Tiny Blues bar in Phuket Town to go to after dinner.

Ka Jok See

In Phuket town. A fantasy, great food and still the best party in the world. Not always easy to get a booking.

Black Horse Bar

Old favourite on Bangla to sit and people watch. DJ plays our kind of music.

Heroes Bar

Our other Bangla Bar, louder than  Black Horse makes chatting harder.

RWC games were shown with commentary.

Lillie's Aussie Bar 

All the tiki shacks at OTOP have moved down to one end but still a great place to meet when some of your group give up on the shopping before the others. Cocktails and choosing your own You Tube music videos often ends up in a bit of a party.

San Sabai Sport's Bar

Saw the Bokke beat England and become RWC Champions here amongst all the English expats.

Love that the bar girls crocheted special coasters for the event.
