NIGHTLIFE

GREEN MANGO CLUB

The central super-club is on Soi Green Mango

Soi Green Mango is the most active area in the night time of Chaweng equivalent of Phuket’s Soi Bangla or
Bangkok’s Patpong. It’s loud, it’s brash, and surprisingly it’s pretty compact, Bar after bar features bar girls sing-a-
songing ‘welcome, come inside’ as you drift by. But things are gradually changing here: The Russians are coming,
and with them Galaxy, featuring Russian show girls doing pole dancing too.

There are several dance joints here, It has two main areas with the entrance space playing hip hop and
mainstream tunes, whilst the main pumps out some banging house and techno music where you can get your
moves in without bar girls lunging for you. The Green Mango Club is hard to miss,Many of the beer bars are so
similar that you’d be forgiven for mixing them up if you head back for a second night of fun here.
