If Phuket Island (Koh Phuket) is the “Pearl of the Andaman Sea”, then the Patong Beach area is where it really shines if you are looking for nightlife. Gay facilities in Phuket include gay and mixed accommodation and restaurants, the (semi-commercial) bars, bar-beers and saunas, and the go-go bars . Most of the bars and bar beers are very friendly places but are not really bars in the usual western sense – expect to be taking one the waiters “off” rather than pairing up with another customer, and expect to “tip” someone you take home, even sometimes from the saunas. Many places also offer “massage”, including the saunas and some of the karaoke/bar-beers. The main concentration of gay venues is in the area in front of the Royal Paradise Hotel in Patong, commonly referred to as the Paradise Complex, but there are some venues in other areas in Patong and elsewhere in Phuket.
