Sip into the Sunset: Phuket’s Coolest New Sundown Scene for Foodies and Cocktail Lovers
Looking for the perfect Phuket sunset event that combines world-class cocktails, gourmet food, and chill island vibes? “Sip into the Sunset” is the answer. This brand-new cocktail festival in Phuket is quickly becoming the go-to gathering for stylish locals, island travelers, and those who appreciate a beautifully crafted drink at golden hour.
Hosted at The Society—a trendy new social space in Phuket—the event brought together two premium spirits brands: Bumbu Rum, an award-winning Caribbean rum, and The Deacon, a smoky-meets-smooth Scotch whisky from Pernod Ricard (Thailand). With sunset views, live music, and a menu that’s all about bold flavors and island flair, this is the kind of Phuket nightlife experience that’s worth planning your trip around.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, guests sipped exclusive cocktails created just for the event by renowned mixologist Khun Win – Pongsatorn Chaowkitivut of Shhh. Bar, one of the top hidden bars in Phuket. These signature drinks were handcrafted with finesse, highlighting the unique character of each spirit—from Bumbu’s rich spice to The Deacon’s peaty complexity.
And let’s not forget the food. The highlight of the night? A live cooking station by Spanish restaurant VAMOS, where chefs cooked authentic paella on-site. Guests got to watch the process up close—and, of course, enjoy a plate (or two). It was a perfect match to the sunset setting and smooth sounds of live sax and vocals in the background.
“Sip into the Sunset” is more than just a party—it’s part of a four-city tour across Thailand, following a successful debut in Bangkok. Phuket marked the second stop, with Hua Hin and Pattaya up next. Whether you’re a traveler hunting for the best food and drink events in Phuket or a local looking for something fresh and fabulous, this is one event series you don’t want to miss.
