KUDO Beach Club Phuket

Do you pay to get in?

No door charge is published for a normal day, and June's Pride Foam Party was free to enter. You pay for drinks, food and any cabana you book.

For a group, book cabanas ahead, side by side. Ask Tanner and he books them for your date.

Can you book a cabana?

Think of a cabana as your KUDO Beach Club day pass: a spot by the pool for the afternoon, with food and drinks brought to you from the bar and the kitchen.

Prices change by date and by party, so ask Tanner which cabana suits your group.

What's on the menu?

The KUDO Beach Club menu runs from bar snacks like chicken wings and bruschetta to Italian dishes and fresh seafood, with grilled prawns and oysters, plus Thai food. Mojitos and signature cocktails come to your cabana.

Ask Tanner to have the first round waiting when you arrive.

When is the best time to go?

Come in the afternoon for the pool, or as the sun goes down, when KUDO turns into a DJ party. Pool parties and theme nights change through the year: June's Pride Foam Party ran from 2pm to 10pm with foam, drag shows, fire spinners and afro and deep house DJs.

December to March is Phuket's core dry season, and crowds peak in December and January.

Ask Tanner what's on the week you land.

KUDO or Café del Mar?

KUDO is a party in Patong you can walk to. Café del Mar, in Kamala, is a sunset set on the sand.

Most groups staying in Patong do KUDO by day, then Bangla Road after dark. See every beach club side by side in our Phuket beach clubs guide.

For Bang Tao, see our Catch Beach Club and Xana Beach Club guides.

Ask Tanner which beach club suits your crew.

Getting there

KUDO is at 33/1 Patong Beach Road, about a minute's walk (0.1 km) from Bangla Road.

Grab is easy to find for the ride home, but taxis outside the nightlife streets late at night often won't use the meter.

Easier: your own driver drops the group at the door and waits. Ask Tanner to have the car there.

After the pool

KUDO is at the beach end of Bangla Road, so the rest of the evening is a short walk away. Bangla Road runs about 500 metres inland, closes to cars after 6pm and peaks from 11pm to 2am.

• Bangla Road, the party street: see our Bangla Road guide.
• Illuzion, the big club on Bangla Road: see our Illuzion guide.
• Sugar Club, the hip-hop club in Patong: see our Sugar Club Phuket guide.

Ask Tanner to hold your table at Illuzion.

Is it safe?

Yes. It's a hotel pool club with its own staff, and the street outside stays busy and lit late.

Check the bill before you pay, drink water between cocktails in the afternoon sun, and pick one meeting point before the group heads to Bangla Road. The Tourist Police answer 1155 in English.

Ask Tanner for a host who stays with the group all night.

The best spot by the pool

Take a cabana near the DJ, with the pool bar a few strokes away. It keeps a group together all afternoon.

Tanner's pick: for ten of you, cabanas side by side on a party day.

With no door charge published, the KUDO Beach Club entry fee isn't what you plan around: the cabana is, so book it early for a party day.

Insider tip: come in the afternoon and stay through sunset. That's when the DJ turns the pool into a party.

Ask Tanner to hold the cabana nearest the decks.

Your day, planned

A cabana at KUDO in the afternoon for the DJ and the pool, sunset at the pool bar, dinner in Patong.

Then Bangla Road and your own table at Illuzion to finish, with the car waiting to take everyone back to the villa.

A pool party at KUDO is a strong first day on a Phuket bachelor party.

Plan it with Tanner.
