Halloween has Phuket in its clutches this weekend, October 29-November 1, but there’s more on the menu than witch’s brew. Kee Sky Lounge in Patong hosts its Haunted Rooftop EDM Party, while PRU’s The Gathering pairs guest-chef meals with a Sunday Farm Festival at PRU Jampa Farm. Italian DJ GENESI brings melodic house and techno to Armania Phuket on Friday, when Henry Saiz also takes over Café del Mar’s Clubroom in Kamala. For families, Niran Farm’s Halloween Spooktacular has games, a barbecue and a costume parade – though you’ll need to enquire about cancellations, as the farm now says it’s fully booked.

Trick or treat, clubbing or costume – the choice is yours. And if your witch’s brew needs work, leave the cooking to the chefs.

What's on this weekend?

Into spirits? The drinkable kind? Head to The Distillery Phuket for an insider look at how Chalong Bay Rum and other small-batch tipples are made, from raw sugarcane to snifter cup. This is no backstreet operation – this is a proper guided tour through the working distillery, with stops for tasting along the way. Sure, you can sip Chalong Bay at many bars along the beach, but sampling yet-to-be-bottled rums, gins and vodkas while learning the basics behind distilling and cocktail-making adds new ‘depth’ to the glass. Plenty of swirling and sipping happens here, and maybe a few ‘just one more’ moments to be found as well. 

 Daily. B1,290. The Distillery Phuket. 11am-10pm
