Drop in and stay longer at the Phuket Social and Language Exchange

Molly’s Tavern hosts this weekly meetup just off Soi Bangla, pulling in a mixed crowd of locals, expats and travellers with no real agenda beyond conversation. Guinness is poured cold, Jenga blocks do their part to break the ice, and the pub menu – steaks, pizzas, burgers – keeps things grounded while sports play in the background. You can register online, but most just turn up, find the group and ease in.

May 8 (weekly). Free. Molly’s Tavern Irish Bar & Restaurant. 7pm-10pm
