Illuzion Phuket — Restaurant in Patong

With its top-level DJ bookings, genuinely impressive open-air mainstage area, festival-standard production values, and smart integration into the local natural environment, Laroc Club near Valinhos in São Paulo state continues to put the super into superclub. Rising steadily through the DJ Mag Top 100 Clubs chart since its first appearance in 2017, the venue has styled itself as a festival experience within a club, and it makes the most of the gorgeous weather, glorious sunsets and connection with nature that its outdoor setting provides.

Looking forward to the rest of 2024, the club remains committed to its strategy of booking big names that don’t visit Brazil very often. “Additionally, we intend to continue with some labels that were successful at the club,” the Laroc team tells us, “such as Spektrum, a night focused on psytrance, and Ame Laroc Festival in 2025, and to return with Laroc Guarujá, a club of the brand located on the coast of São Paulo.”

This club is awesome, top 20 on my list. I’ve been to some of the best clubs in the world, from Germany, Barcelona, Ibiza, Austria, Czech, Denmark, France, Greece, Amsterdam, Italy, Las Vegas, Orlando, Miami, Bangkok, New York, Canada, Iceland, Colombia and a number of other places. This club is great and there is a reason it’s 11 in the world. I judge clubs on a couple of different scales see below:

-Ability to use the bathroom 5/5 -How easy it is to get a drink 5/5 -Sound system 5/5 -Inside temperature 5/5 -Dance floor 4/5 -Lighting 5/5 -Affordability 5/5 -Added experience 5/5

The bathrooms are easy to find and use; I went three nights in a row and never encountered a line. The venue has two levels, with bars scattered throughout each, making it easy to grab a drink. I recommend heading upstairs, as most people stick to the first level for drinks. The sound system is phenomenal it shakes your entire body and soul.

Despite the club being packed with over 500 people, the temperature inside remains cool and comfortable. They allow vaping and smoking, but the ventilation system is good, so you don't really notice it unless someone is right next to you.

The only downside is the dance floor. There are standing tables in the back and scattered throughout, which limits the space for dancing. That said, it's not as bad as other places in Thailand, like Sugar, where the entire floor is covered with tables. The dance floor here is still a great size, and there's plenty of room to enjoy yourself. The lighting is impressive, with plenty of lasers and effects to set the vibe.

As for the prices, the club is affordable. Drinks are priced similarly to a mid-range club in the U.S.; a beer costs around 200 baht, and mixed drinks are about 280 baht.

For the added experience, if you've been to Ibiza, you'll recognize the setup with dancers on stage and others descending from the ceiling. This club is no different—it's got some awesome dancers, and some even have CO2 guns to spray the crowd.

Overall, it's a great venue, and I highly recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a night out. This is an honest review—I have no affiliation with the club or its staff, and I'm...

Worst club in Phuket avoid at all costs. Anyone thinking of partying in patong on vacation in Phuket please be aware that this club sells fake alcohol. We ordered drinks, and the bartender gave water instead of Jameson as requested. Once we drank, we noticed it was all water throughout the glass. And when we took the drink back to the bartender. The bartender called out the security and refused to replace the drink and also asked us to be removed. The club is selling drinks out of bottles that are either part filled with water or fully filled with water. So as you party on throughout the the night and have drinks they start to sell these fake illegal alcohol to you by assuming you are just drunk and probably cannot tell the difference. And to mention that the drinks are disproportionately priced and do not reflect the poor quality of service and atmosphere this club depicts. Finally, I believe this club should be reported to Thai authorities and the tourist police system. Clubs like this will hinder Thai governments ability to attract tourists and create a negative imagine for tourism in Phuket, and more widely whole of Thailand if international media was to identify this and report it globally.

Peace and love to all fellow international travellers to Thailand. Stay safe and avoid places like this completely.

PS. I would give a minus star but google review does not allow that option, so using 1 star to show the level of atrocity and shamble of this...
