Club No 43
Tucked away in the Talat Nuea area of Phuket Town, Club No 43 draws a loyal mix of locals and travellers looking for a relaxed night out well away from the polished beach resort strips. Its consistent positive reputation points to a genuinely welcoming venue with the kind of unpretentious, community feel that can be hard to find in more heavily touristed parts of Phuket. Visitors can expect a casual bar setting suited to conversation and drinks at mid-range prices, making it an accessible option for most budgets. The atmosphere leans social rather than high-energy, offering a more authentic slice of Phuket Town nightlife compared to the louder club scenes around Patong or the beachfront areas. The venue maintains an active Facebook presence, which is worth checking for any events or updates before visiting. Good to know: Club No 43 opens at 6 PM every day of the week and runs through to midnight, giving plenty of flexibility for an evening out. Arriving after 7 PM tends to coincide with a livelier crowd. Casual clothing is entirely appropriate, and the Talat Nuea location is convenient for those already based in central Phuket Town, though visitors staying at beachside hotels should factor in travel time.

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.
