If you are looking for the best things to do in Rawai on a Thursday or Sunday night, look no further. While Phuket is famous for its beaches, the nightlife in the south of the island has a rhythmic heartbeat that comes alive every single Thursday.
Whether you are a seasoned “Salsero,” a backpacker looking for a vibe, or a local expat, Rawai offers a unique weekly event that blends professional dance classes with a high-energy late-night party. Here is everything you need to know about the hottest Thursday night plan in Phuket.
The Weekly Schedule: From First Steps to Full Party
This isn’t just a club night; it’s a full experience that builds throughout the evening.
- 6:00 PM – Doors Open: Arrive early to grab dinner or a drink, and settle into the atmosphere.
- 8:00 PM – Dance Class: Professional instructor DJ Kat leads the dance session, making it the best place in Phuket to learn new moves.
- 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM – Social Dancing: The floor opens up. This is where the community shines, practicing what they learned in the classes to a mix of authentic Latin rhythms (salsa, bachata, and kizomba).
- 11:00 PM onwards – The Reggaeton After-Party: As the clock strikes eleven, the energy shifts. The lights dim, the bass gets heavier, and the night transforms into a massive Reggaeton and Urban Latin party that goes late into the night.
