Patong: Kee Sky Lounge and Andaman Sky Lounge
Patong’s rooftop bar scene sits above the chaos of Phuket’s busiest nightlife strip and is a better option than the street-level Bangla Road bars for most people.
Kee Sky Lounge
A sixth- and seventh-floor lounge at The Kee Resort with views across Patong Bay. The current buy-one-get-one promotion runs from 9pm to 11pm.
- Area
- Patong · 152/1 Thaveewong Rd, 6th & 7th Floor, The Kee Resort, Patong
- Hours
- Daily 5:30pm–midnight
- Go for

Andaman Sky Lounge
A 19th-floor restaurant and lounge at Andaman Beach Suites Hotel.
- Area
- Patong · 60/12 Rat-U-Thit 200 Pee Rd, 19th Floor, Andaman Beach Suites Hotel, Patong
- Hours
- Daily 5:30pm–10pm
- Go for
- Cocktail at the rail with bay views
Insider Tip: Patong faces west, so rooftops here do get sea sunsets, but the bay is partially enclosed by headlands, which can clip the horizon before the sun fully drops. For a clean open-water sunset with nothing in the way, Kata and Cape Panwa are better bets. Patong is still worth it for the bay-curve and city-light combination from 6 PM onward.
Bang Tao and Kamala: The Quieter West Coast Heights
The resort belt north of Patong has two rooftops worth the drive.
360° Bar at The Pavilions
An open-air hilltop terrace at The Pavilions Phuket. The current schedule is 5pm to 10pm, with a listed happy hour from 7:30pm to 8:30pm.

Insider Tip: The hills between Bang Tao and Kamala get good breeze in the evening. Both bars are significantly cooler than street-level Patong from around 6 PM onward, a real advantage from March to May when sea-level bars are still 32°C at sunset.
Kata and Karon: The Budget Sunset Strip
For sunset views without a minimum spend, the Kata–Karon coastline delivers.

How to Plan Your Rooftop Bar Evening in Phuket
Phuket’s rooftop circuit works best as a structured evening rather than a crawl. Pick one sunset venue and commit to it: chasing sunset across the island usually means missing it.
Sunset priority: Baba Nest takes reservations up to one month ahead.
Post-sunset options: Kee Sky Lounge publishes service until midnight. Andaman Sky Lounge closes at 10pm.
Staying connected: Pick up a local SIM at the airport or use eSIM for Thailand. Grab works reliably across the island and is the easiest way to get between rooftop locations without taxi negotiation.
Dress: Check each venue’s current policy; there is no single rule covering every bar in this guide.
Booking: Reserve Baba Nest through Sri Panwa.
There’s a full guide to what to eat on these evenings if you want to plan dinner alongside the drinks.
How to choose a night out in Phuket
Choose the area first, then the venue. The useful clusters here are Cape Panwa, Patong, Bang Tao; pick the one closest to the rest of your day before you chase a single name. Cape Panwa is a long transfer from Patong, so keep your last stop close to your hotel or your Grab route home.
Baba Nest is the most structured option because it publishes its hours, minimum spend and booking window. Kee Sky Lounge and 360° Bar also publish current schedules.
