Bebop is a jazz bar on Yaowarat Road in Phuket Old Town, with indoor seating and a small terrace over the main street. A house band plays jazz, soul and blues with no cover charge. It recently moved to a larger space with room to dance, and the cocktails are carefully made.

The Library is a book-lined cocktail bar with a Harry Potter feel, and behind it sits a nightclub where a DJ plays EDM to a packed floor. Bartenders work with fire and flair, and the group drinks are served with theater, Pandora's Box among them, with a violinist joining in on some nights. By eleven the room is full, even in low season.

Siam Niramit is a stage show on Thai history and culture with more than 100 performers, and the effects bring rain, thunder and a river with boats onto the stage. Before it starts you walk through a recreated Thai village with free food tastings, batik painting and a canoe ride along the stream. The show came to Phuket in 2011 after years in Bangkok, and there's a buffet package if you want dinner too.
“The buffet dinner was really good with a wide variety of options.”

How the points work
We read every independent published best-of list we can find for the question. Each list gives 10 points for first place, 9 for second, down to 1 for tenth, and 5 points to each place on a list with no order. Points are added up. A business must be in the top 10 of at least two lists to be ranked. Rankings are never sold. Full method.
