Not many places in this world can rival Thailand when it comes to beaches and nightlife.
The country’s natural beauty with aquamarine waters, spectacular islands, and hidden coves, along with its reputation for hedonism and the splendid luxury resorts not only attract thousands of tourists here, but also bring them back again and again.
Phuket
Perhaps nowhere else in Thailand you can enjoy this combination of sun, beach, and nightlife quite like in Phuket. Thailand’s largest and most popular island seduces the visitor with a vibrant mix of nighttime entertainment and beach culture.
From the famous west-coast beaches of Patong, Kata, or Kemala to the undiscovered little coves in the north, Phuket boasts a wealthy variety of beaches sure to excite every sun seeker out there. With their warm crystal-clear waters and beautiful white sands fringed by nodding palm trees, these lovely shores abound in water sports and superb underwater activities.
Patong – the island’s liveliest and most developed spot is certainly the place where most of the action takes place, as all day long, the beach is buzzing with a hive of activities, including parasailing, jet-skiing and scenic banana rides. Furthermore, Ao Sane, Kata Noi, and Paradise beach are the island’s snorkeling paradises while Kata, Nai Harn, Surin, and Kamala are perfect for surfing.
Even more vibrant than its wonderful beaches, Phuket’s nightlife is brimming with excitement and thrills. From famous mega clubs with big-name DJs to exuberant live shows and fashionable lounges, there’s absolutely nothing you can’t find in Phuket after dark. Dubbed Asia’s party capital, Patong offers endless nightlife opportunities, whether you’re looking to indulge in all sorts of adult-only pleasures or just want to dance the night away on the notorious Bangla Road. For an exclusive experience, however, head to the classy Siam Indigo in Phuket town or go to experience some excellent live music in the glamorous Sanaeha bar.
Pattaya
Pattaya is a lively seaside resort situated on the Eastern Gulf Coast of Thailand and a place where sun and fun go hand in hand creating the perfect setup for any type of reveler.
Not as varied, clean, or picturesque as the ones in Phuket, Pattaya’s beaches with their numerous water sports opportunities are still a magnet for tourists. Most popular choices include the hectic Pattaya Beach, the action-packed Jomtien Beach, as well as the smaller and definitely less-crowded Wong Prachan and Naklua Beach in the north of Pattaya. But while the shores are not something to die for, the nightlife is wild, rowdy, and second to none.
Widely famous for its flamboyant katoey cabaret shows, beer bars, and go-go’s, this Asian Sin City offers a spectacular night scene with a variety of entertainment. When the night falls, the south of the resort comes to life with an alluring mix of bars, clubs, and live music venues. For a crazy night out go to the colorful Pattaya Walking Street, Pan Beach Bungalows an area known as the city’s red-light district. On the other side, the up-scale restaurants and stylish cocktail lounges in Central and North Pattaya tend to cater to a more refined clientele.
Koh Samui
If fantastic nightlife and postcard-perfect beaches are what you’re looking for, then Koh Samui is the perfect place to be. From the buzzing shores of Chaweng and Lamai – Samui’s most famous beaches, to the idyllic coves, luscious lagoons and isolated palm-fringed sands that adorn the island’s spectacular scenery, Koh Samui offers a wonderful variety of beaches.
Nae Man and Choeng Mon, both located in the north of the island, are probably the purest and most stunning beaches one can find in this tropical paradise, while Bo Phut and the secluded Taling Ngam are perfect to families and those willing to escape the bustle of Chaweng and Lamai.
In the last couple of years, Koh Samui has developed into one of the trendiest Thai destinations and this can also be observed in its glamorous night scene. Given the sophisticated gourmet restaurants, the sparkling traditional shows and the legendary full moon parties, it’s easy to see why Koh Samui’s nightlife is considered among the finest in Thailand. The atmosphere is vibrant and festive, the clubs of Chaweng are filled with top DJ’s jamming the latest house and funky beats, and the nearby island of Ko Pha Ngan is bursting with partygoers willing to dance the night away under the most dazzling full moon.
