Catch Beach Club
Catch Beach Club is Phuket's original see-and-be-seen beach club, now anchoring the sands of Bangtao — white daybeds, a glass-walled restaurant, and a party calendar that turns sunset into a nightly event with DJs on the big dates. The kitchen is genuinely good (wood-fired seafood, sushi, wagyu burgers), minimum spends buy the front-row beds, and families drift through by day before the volume climbs after dark. It has outlasted every wave of newer, flashier rivals for a reason: the formula — sand, sunset, service, soundtrack — still runs best here.

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars
Carry Your Passport or a Copy
Clubs and some bars check IDs strictly, especially in Bangkok's Thonglor, RCA, and Sukhumvit areas. A photo of your passport info page on your phone usually works, but carrying a laminated photocopy is safer.
Know the Closing Times
Legal closing time is 2 AM for most venues, though enforcement varies. In Bangkok's designated entertainment zones (RCA, Silom Soi 2/4, Khao San), some clubs stay open until 4 AM. Islands tend to be more relaxed about hours.
Buy Bucket Drinks Cautiously
Island bucket drinks (mixed spirits in a small bucket) are cheap and fun but notoriously strong and inconsistent. Stick to one, stay hydrated, and never leave your drink unattended at beach parties.
