Forget the bananas – come for the sunset. Banana Beach Club by Sollis 2.0, on Phuket’s mainland near Layan, has white sand, coconut trees and longtail boats to set the scene while the sky turns orange. Saturday’s Big Community Sunset adds music and a fire show at 7pm, with B500 entry including one cocktail from the special menu. Settle into the beach-club setting with sunbeds and cabanas nearby, and let the afternoon stretch into the evening. This is the Banana Beach in Thalang, so make sure your map isn’t sending you to Koh Hey.
