Night owls and those who are into live entertainment will surely find this place amazing, with all its neon lights, bars with a gogo dancers in skimpy bikinis, defeaning music, etc. There are also souvenir shops, fast food chains, spas, and so forth. The place is practically just a stretch of road located very close to Patong Beach. Even if you don't feel like spending money in the area, a walk through it alone is quite entertaining.

The X rated walking street. I’ve visited many walking streets throughout Asia and this one has everything.

Most people tend to walk up and down to experience Bangla Road leaving space available in most of the bars. Although just walking the street can be difficult due to the amount of people. My advice, jump into one of the bars, grab a beer and enjoy the views.

The nightclubs are amazing and you’ll find here whatever you’re looking for. A quiet time in the Aussie Bar, street performers, ladyboy show, and much more. Not for the faint hearted.

However this place can become too much. I spent 14 nights in Phuket and 2 nights on Bangla Road is enough for me. The quiet and more relaxed atmosphere outside of Bangla Road suits me better most of the time. The choice is yours!
