The best things to do in Phuket this weekend (December 19-21)

A true architect of house music returns as Todd Terry brings his timeless New York sound to Armania Phuket once again. Rising from Brooklyn’s underground in the late ’80s, Terry helped shape modern house by fusing classic disco, hip-hop sampling and raw club energy, going on to remix icons like Everything But The Girl, Björk and Jamiroquai. He’s hard to catch this side of Asia, so book yourself a ticket and submit to this masterclass performance at one of Phuket’s hottest clubs.

Dec 19. B300. Armania Phuket. 10pm-4am

Moojo and Kashovski come together for a full-spectrum afro-house session that adds a new meaning to sound clash parties. While Moojo leans into soulful, rolling grooves – including his much-talked-about remix of The Weeknd’s Moth to a Flame – Kashovski counters with darker, percussive textures and modern club intensity for a battle of musical prowess. Together, they set the tone for a club night that’s quite unusual for Phuket. Tickets are limited so get in early for the best spot on the dancefloor. 

Dec 20. B1,500 advance, includes a free drink. MAYA Beach Club. 7pm-late

Cassia Phuket turns up the fun just in time for the festive season with a sunshine-soaked pool party packed with foam, floats and feel-good energy. Live DJ spin all afternoon, while market-style food stalls keep you well-fed with everything from New York–style pizza to BBQ skewers and crispy deep fried favourites. A fully stocked pool bar keeps things silly (because no foam party is complete without a bit of booze), including happy-hour buy-one-get-one-free cocktails, mocktails, beers and wines if you come early enough. And with free entry, there’s really no excuse not to dive in and kick off the weekend covered in suds. 

Dec 19. Free. Cassia Phuket. 4pm-7pm

Illuzion Phuket welcomes DJ and producer Tom Enzy for a high-energy Friday night club stage party that celebrates his global chart success. With over 300 million streams to his name and collaborations with heavyweights like Hugel, Alok and Pitbull, the sound of Enzy’s tracks may be more familiar than you think. Seating ranges from B20,000 stage-front tables for up to four people to more manageable B4,000 second-floor tables that overlook the VIP dancefloor below. This one’s a big production, so dress the part and get locked in as he takes full control of the decks.

Dec 19. From B4,000, tickets here. Illuzion Phuket. 9pm-late 

SUB takes over Courage Bar with a full-force, two-room rave night bringing heavyweight garage and drum’n’bass artists and breakbeat legends Stanton Warriors to the Phuket clubscape. While the warriors are the clear headliner, they’re backed by an international lineup of neurofunk bruisers, including TNTKLZ, Thailand’s figurehead LINDZ (making his first ever Phuket debut), plus a deep bench of global and local selectors that keep the party going well into the wee hours. This one’s built for serious sound-system heads.

Dec 20. From B300, tickets here. Courage Bar. 9pm-4am

Aqua Playground, a large-scale outdoor installation by Sansiri in collaboration with Thai eco-fashion brand Pipatchara, has opened its doors with a project to transform discarded fishing nets into more than 700 colourful, modular sculptures. Set across The Society in Cherng Talay–Bang Tao and the yard at CANVAS Cherngtalay, the project pulls over 1,500kg of ocean waste back onto dry land. Running alongside Thailand Biennale Phuket 2025, the installation invites visitors of all ages to interact, build and explore, while spotlighting sustainability, circular design and community engagement. 

Now-Jan 31, 2026. Free. The Society, Cherng Talay–Bang Tao and the yard at CANVAS Cherngtalay. Various times.
