Phuket after dark
Bangla Road in Patong is roughly 400 metres of open-fronted bars, go-go clubs and touts, closing between one and two. Anyone selling a ping-pong show is running a bar-bill scam and it is simply declined. Kata and Karon keep the low-key beer bars and live-music rooms, and Rawai the seafood and sunsets. Beach clubs at Bang Tao such as Catch and Cafe del Mar work sunset rather than midnight.
What to eat in Phuket
The cooking is Hokkien Chinese underneath: moo hong, pork belly braised with black pepper and garlic, and Phuket-style hokkien mee using thick yellow noodles, both reliably found at Lock Tien in the old town. Rawai's seafood market lets you buy by weight and pay a neighbouring restaurant to cook it. Every October the vegetarian festival turns the island meat-free for nine days, with piercing processions through town.
What's actually worth your time in Phuket
Phuket Old Town is the underrated half of the island: Sino-Portuguese shophouses along Thalang Road and Soi Romanee, repainted and largely intact, with a Sunday walking street through them. The Big Buddha above Chalong is free and worth the winding drive for the view more than the statue. Bangla Road in Patong is a spectacle, not a beach. Phi Phi day trips are four hours of boat for a crowded lagoon.
What things cost in Phuket
Island prices sit well above the mainland: a street plate is 60 to 100 baht, but a Patong beachfront restaurant charges 300 to 600 for the same idea. Scooter hire runs 200 to 300 baht a day. A taxi from the airport to Patong is 800 to 1,000, which is why the airport bus at a fraction of that exists. Sun loungers cost 100 to 200 for the day.
Phuket's museums, and which one to pick
Museums are thin here and the worthwhile ones sit in the old town. Thai Hua Museum occupies a former Chinese-language school on Krabi Road and explains why Phuket reads as Hokkien rather than Thai in its buildings and its festivals. Baan Chinpracha is a private 1903 mansion still lived in, open mornings only. Thalang National Museum, near the Heroines Monument, covers Andaman archaeology and the 1785 Burmese siege.
