Afternoon into the evening

Beach clubs

Yona Beach Club is our top pick and the one we deal with directly — a floating club on a converted vessel, reached by boat off Patong. There is nothing else like it on the island. Catch, Café del Mar, RAVA, Barra Cuda and Kudo are all on the page too, on the sand at Bang Tao, Kamala, Laguna and Patong.

  • Yona is our top pick
  • Five more on the sand
  • Day beds & tables

Boat days — private or shared

Hype Luxury Boat Club is the one we book, and you can take it privately or join it as an excursion. Out to Phi Phi, into Phang Nga among the karsts, or south to the quieter islands — and because you set the departure you arrive ahead of the day-trip fleet.

  • Private or shared
  • Crew included
  • Phi Phi · Phang Nga · the south

Beaches, coves & sunsets

Every beach in Thailand is public by law — nobody can charge you for the sand. Kata and Karon for the long walks, Nai Harn and Ya Nui for the swimming, Laem Singh and Banana for the pretty ones you have to work for. We tell you which have lifeguards and which don't.

  • All free
  • Flagged swimming zones
  • Sunset on the whole west coast

After dark

Nightlife — Bangla Road

Four hundred metres in Patong that closes to traffic about six and peaks between ten and one. Beer bars, superclubs, live music rooms and side lanes — genuinely good fun for a couple of hours. We give you the honest version: what is worth it, what the scams are, and how not to get caught by them.

  • Pedestrian from 6pm
  • Clubs open 9pm
  • Honest, not a warning-off

Early, before the heat

Muay Thai, MMA, jiu jitsu & more

One road in Chalong — Soi Ta-iad — with more than twenty gyms on it, Tiger Muay Thai among them, plus the health cafés and recovery rooms that grew up around them. Drop-ins are normal and beginners are genuinely catered for. Muay Thai, MMA, Brazilian jiu jitsu, boxing and crossfit, all on one road.

  • Drop-in classes
  • Complete beginners fine
  • MMA, jiu jitsu, boxing

Breakfast, and again at six

Food & Phuket Old Town

Phuket cooks Peranakan and Hokkien, not generic Thai, and the Old Town is the best free half day on the island. Hokkien noodles at a place open since 1946, oyster omelette, moo hong. A full street-food dinner with a drink costs a fraction of what it would at home.

  • Its own cuisine
  • Shophouses & street art
  • A few pounds a meal

Markets, night by night

There is a market almost every night, but each one runs on its own days and this is what most people get wrong. Lard Yai is Sundays only. Chillva is closed Sundays. Naka is weekends. Boat Avenue is Fridays. Get it right and it is the best value eating on the island.

  • Lard Yai · Sundays
  • Boat Avenue · Fridays
  • Cheap even by Thai standards

Island days

Phi Phi, Phang Nga, Koh Yao, Krabi and Railay all go from Phuket, and the scheduled ferry costs a fraction of a booked tour. On the island itself: the Big Buddha, Wat Chalong, the rainforest and the viewpoints. You do not need a hire car — we tell you how it actually joins up.

  • Ferries from Rassada
  • No hire car needed
  • Smart Bus & Grab

Common questions

The things people email us about most.

What does One More Day Events do?

We plan private days out in Phuket — a boat to Phi Phi or Phang Nga, a day at Yona, restaurant tables and club tables — booked in your name and arranged in the right order for the day you have. Everything else in your itinerary is free information we earn nothing on.

Which parts of Phuket do you cover?

The whole island. Boats go from Rassada Pier and Chalong; the beaches run down the west coast from Mai Khao to Nai Harn; the Old Town, the markets and most of the good cheap food are on the other side of the island.

How far ahead should I book?

High season runs November to April, and Christmas and New Year are the tightest fortnight of the year — for those dates, as far ahead as you can. The rest of high season a week or two is usually plenty. May to October is quieter and you can often sort a day at short notice, but a boat trip can be called off for weather, so keep a spare day.

Do you charge to plan the day?

No. The itinerary is free and yours to keep whether you book anything through us or not — most of what's on these pages is a beach, a temple or a bowl of noodles we earn nothing on. We only make anything if you take up the boat or the beach club, and you'd see those terms in writing before anything is held.

Do I have to book a VIP table to get into a club in Phuket?

No. Bangla Road in Patong is where the clubs are and most of it is walk-in — you can have a full night there without booking a thing, and we'll tell you honestly how the street works before you go. If you'd rather have a table waiting, say so and we'll arrange it, with the terms in writing first.

What if my dates aren't fixed yet?

That's fine — the planner has an option for exactly that. Give us the rough month and we'll tell you what Phuket is like then: whether the sea is usually calm enough for the island boats, which coast the surf is on, and what needs holding early for those weeks.

What is there to do in Phuket besides the beach?

Phuket cooks its own Peranakan and Hokkien food, there is a night market almost every evening, and the island days go out to Phi Phi and Phang Nga.

The day's sorted. Want the NIGHT to match?

Our sister brand handles everything after dark — club nights, boat cruises, VIP tables and festivals in Phuket, Ibiza and beyond. Same people, same one-contact promise, later hours.
