Every year DJ Mag releases its Top 100 Clubs ranking, voted on by electronic music fans around the world. And in 2026, Thailand had its best year ever.

Thailand is the Asian country with the most ranked clubs in 2026 and the third best performing country in the world this year. Bangkok, Phuket, and Pattaya all contributed entries, cementing Thailand's position as one of the most important nightlife destinations on the planet.

Here is every Thai club that made the list and what makes each one worth the trip.

No. 9: Illuzion Phuket

One of the longest-standing names on the list, Illuzion sits on Bangla Road in Phuket and covers 6,500 square metres across multiple zones. The Main Floor covers EDM and house, Empire handles hip-hop, and Shelter goes deep into techno and minimal. Over the past year artists including Axwell, Afrojack, and Pan-Pot have all played here. It has been a Southeast Asian nightlife destination for years and the ranking reflects that.

No. 37: Café Del Mar Phuket

A completely different experience from anything else on this list. Café Del Mar sits on Kamala Beach with both an outdoor stage and an indoor club built from natural materials. The atmosphere is unlike a standard nightclub. Last year Carl Cox, Jamie Jones, Fatboy Slim, and Dixon all played here. The venue also recently opened a boutique hotel above the club, making it a genuine destination in its own right.

No. 50: Atlas Superclub Bangkok

The Bangkok sibling of Atlas Superclub Bali brings EDM, house, and open format music together with live dancers and performers on stage. Both Thai and international artists rotate through the lineup, and the VIP area offers a full view of the dancefloor below.

No. 58: World House Pattaya

Last year was World House Pattaya's debut on the Top 100 Clubs list and the venue has gone from strength to strength since then. It booked 145 artists over the past year across a dancefloor with 18-metre-high ceilings and a bespoke Funktion-One sound system. It has also collaborated with EDC Thailand, S2O, and NEON Countdown over the past year.

No. 67: VOID Club Bangkok

Making its debut appearance in the Top 100 Clubs poll, VOID Bangkok brings a 26-metre 6K LED screen, 16 high-powered lasers, and a d&b audiotechnik sound system to a nightclub setting. Last year VOID hosted more than 90 events featuring artists like Third Party, DubVision, Maddix, Blastoyz, and Matisse and Sadko. A first-time entry that already feels like it belongs.

No. 71: The Club Khaosan

What was once just another stop on Bangkok's backpacker trail has fully reinvented itself. The Club Khaosan now runs a Funktion-One Evolution X sound system and a 60 square metre LED setup, elevating it into a genuinely world-class venue while keeping its iconic Khao San Road location.

No. 82: Republic Club Pattaya

Right in the heart of Walking Street, Republic Club runs a main floor at ground level and a mezzanine above it for those who want to take in the full view of the dancefloor. The music policy is broad, covering hip-hop, tropical house, EDM, and afro electronic.

Thailand's Place in the Global Picture

Asia as a whole now has 31.5 clubs in the Top 100, up two from last year, with 12 new entries across the region in 2026 alone. Thailand is leading that growth, and with Tomorrowland Thailand arriving in December 2026, the country's profile in the global electronic music world is only going to get bigger.
