Old Phuket Entertainment

There are an abundance of things to do in Phuket if you have reached your limit of pool lounging or relaxing in your Phuket Luxury Villa for the day! We will  bringing you regular news about the best places to go, local events and festivals (in Phuket but also in Thailand as a whole) and local celebrations, so you can experience Phuket to its maximum potential when you visit!

We have already written about Old Phuket Town by day, now we want to let you know about its life at night! Even though it is a quite a small town, the capital can be an edifying experience, a great place to spend a night out with its alternative atmosphere. In comparison to a lot of the more raucous and adult themed nights out in Patong and their like, Old Phuket Town is a breath of fresh air and embodies the Old Towns claim to be the cultural capital of Phuket.

‘Casual, ‘chilled’ and ‘friendly’ are words that possibly best describe Old Phuket Town nightlife.  One of the most famous night clubs is the ‘Timber Hut’. having been in business since 1990 this is an institution in the town. Hosting live Thai music it has been entertaining locals for years and has barely changed in the intervening years. It is based in an old two-storey red brick building and has the feel of a old dusty hut, although its clientele belie this image!

‘Music Matter’ is another Old Town staple to those in the know, and hosts Jazz sessions and dancing for expats and afficiondos alike. Although not as noted as some places is it another example of the eclectic and welcoming array of entertainment in Phuket.

Combine these type of places with great local food, and a friendly and welcoming people, and you have all the ingredients for a great night out!
