1. Dibuk Road near Limelight Phuket and Dragon Plaza

On April 13th, 2025, from 4 PM to 10 PM, Dibuk Road will host the “Songkran No Alcohol Festival Phuket 2025.” This event focuses on safe, family-friendly fun with cultural activities like Buddha image bathing, elder blessing rituals, and performances. There’ll also be live music from Thai stars like Aof Pongsak.

If you’re staying at the best hostel Phuket, like Sound Gallery House, you can walk to this event in just 10–15 minutes. No traffic stress—just follow the sound of splashing water!

2. Patong Beach

Looking for a full-on party scene? Patong Beach is your go-to. Expect massive water fights, loud music, and beach-front energy you won’t find anywhere else.

• Dates: April 12–13
  
• Highlights: Water parades, dance contests, and stage shows
  
• Crowd: Young, wild, and very international
  

From Sound Gallery House—the best hostel Phuket for culture lovers and partygoers—you can get to Patong via local bus or tuk-tuk in 30–45 minutes.

3. Bangla Road

Adjacent to Patong Beach, Bangla Road is nightlife central. During Songkran, it turns into a giant water battlefield. Bars bring out hoses, music is nonstop, and the vibe? Pure madness (in the best way).

Staying at the best hostel Phuket gives you the best of both worlds—calm during the day, chaos at night (if you want it). Get a tuk-tuk or Grab for a direct ride.

4. Central Phuket

Prefer something family-friendly or indoors? Central Phuket hosts traditional water-pouring ceremonies, Thai dance performances, and pop-up markets—ideal for those seeking a cultural yet low-key Songkran.

Only 10–15 minutes from Sound Gallery House, this is a favorite among guests looking for a balance between festive fun and comfort.
