Like so various beaches on Phuket, Surin Beach is extraordinary. Eminent by its clean, white sand fringed with pine trees, giving shade in the hottest climate it has long been a location popular with Thais on a purpose to relax. Whether enjoying the seafood, snorkeling in the fresh blue water or even surfing in season it’s a favorite stop on Phuket’s ‘northern safari’.

The enjoyments of Surin Beach are now augmented with the opening of the Stereo Lab Beach Club and Lounge. It is one of Surin Beach’s latest and coolest club to hang out and enjoy a glass of wine or a really chic cocktail while watching the sun go down of horizon over the northwest coast of the island. There is something for all, with a beach bar, games room, Moroccan lounge, wine cellar, tapas menu and awesome al fresco seating on the beach.

Surin Beach is becoming the trendy hotspot for nightlife in Phuket. For those who don’t need to make the long trek to Patong or drive back late at night Surin now has its own thriving nightlife scene.

Stereo Lab hosts party’s with DJ’s routine playing the excellent beats of the island (lounge, funky house, soulful house, R&B, hip hop, electro, classic, .etc.) Stereo Lab looks poised to become Phuket’s hottest new Friday night venue. There are beverages offers on the night and the vibe is always a party atmosphere laidback and chill out depends where you are seated.
