Located right in the heart of Patong’s club scene, Dingo’s Bar is one of many Aussie bars in Phuket. As you’d expect with an Aussie bar, especially one in Patong, the fun is loud and raucous and goes on until the early hours of the morning.

Beers, cocktails and an abundance of pretty Thai girls, Dingo’s Bar isn’t exactly the classiest establishment around, but it was the first Aussie bar on Soi Crocodile. If you’re a single guy in Patong then you’ll probably have a great time, otherwise you may find yourself a little confused by your surroundings.

It’s one of those places where you can get cheap beer and cheap sex and play a game where you hit nails into a large trunk of wood. The Patong club scene is full of bars such as this one. It’s no bad thing.
