Illuzion Phuket

The biggest nightclub on Bangla Road, occupying a multi-level building near the centre of the strip. Illuzion holds several thousand people on a busy night, with EDM and house upstairs, a hip-hop room and a separate Bollywood floor, regular international DJs, and stage shows in between.

Cover charge with a drink included is standard; expect aggressive entry promoters but reasonable prices once inside. The crowd is overwhelmingly tourist, the lights and lasers are excessive in the best way, and the place runs until 4am most nights. Dress code is loose, but flip-flops will get you turned away.
