This week, Phuket's weather has been as indecisive as a toddler in a candy store. One minute, glorious sunshine; the next, a torrential downpour. But don't let a bit of moody sky dampen your spirits, because this weekend is absolutely packed with excellent distractions. 

From Yona making a grand return after a month of renovation with their Tribe event to a spirited speed dating night for those weary of endless swiping and a hefty dose of laughter at Radisson Red, Phuket is ready to make your weekend fun, memorable, and even a little indulgent.

Tribe Returns

After a month-long glow-up, YONA Beach Club is back and ready to reclaim its throne as the world's only floating beach club. They're kicking off the weekend with an afternoon of pure, unadulterated grooves courtesy of Mazzeo, Alex Vee, Ana Rova and Kay. Expect elevated culinary delights and cocktails that will make you question all your previous life choices. This isn't just a reopening – it's a full-blown re-emergence.

July 17. From B2000. Reserve here. YONA Beach Club (Royal Phuket Marina). 12pm-10pm.

Speed Dating Night

If your thumbs are aching from endless dating app swiping, Plantiful has a decidedly old-school, yet entirely refreshing solution. Guaranteeing 10 dates in one evening (and a decent supply of drinks and nibbles), this is your chance for real connections in a cosy, feel-good atmosphere. Come solo, leave with a spark. What's the worst that could happen?

July 18. B899. Reserve here. Plantiful. 7pm-9pm.
