Savoey
On an island packed with weighed-to-order fish grills, this is one of the best. Its huge ice shelf is packed with lobsters, prawns, grouper, red snapper, sole, trevally and barracuda. It also has live lobsters. It has one menu and four dining rooms – two of them on the sand. The food is always great, and the prices are quite reasonable.

Banana Disco
If you're after a more sophisticated nightclub experience, this is your ticket. A corny Aztec theme prevails, but at least you can dance without skidding around in puddles of beer.

Tiger Entertainment
The strangest building in Phuket features concrete cave styling and a menagerie of unsettling - and extremely well-endowed - anthropomorphic tigers. More a congregation of go-go bars - topped with a nightclub - than a single entity, this is the first, and often last, stop on any odyssey through Patong's bar scene.

Baan Rim Pa
Stunning Thai food is served with a side order of spectacular views at this institution. Standards are high, with prices to match, but romance is in the air, with candlelight and piano music aplenty. Book ahead and tuck in your shirt.

Simon Cabaret
About 300m south of town is a drag cabaret that even the staunchest hetero would love. The 600-seat theatre is grand, production value is high, the costumes are gorgeous and the ladyboys are, well, quite ladylike. Performances begin at 7.30pm and 9.30pm nightly – book ahead.

Molly Malone’s
Wildly popular with tourists, this pub rocks with Irish gigs every night at 9.45pm. There’s a good atmosphere, great pub food and some excellent outdoor tables perfect for people-watching. Guinness is available for a mere 349B per pint.

Harry's Steakhouse & Pub
No surprises at Harry's: it's the usual, air-conditioned tourist boozer. If you fancy a slab of steak in fresh, clean surrounds, however, you could do a lot worse than a table here.

Da Maurizio Bar Ristorante
This upmarket Italian joint serves pasta dishes so good you'll be composing arias on your napkin. Expect the requisite level of Roman romance and unctuous, mouth-watering cooking.
