For many travellers, Phuket in late December means warm seas, long evenings and a holiday that feels different from the winter at home. This year, Courtyard by Marriott Phuket, Patong Beach Resort has a season of festive dining in Phuket lined up for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve.
The dinners take place across five venues at the resort: Smokestack BBQ & Grill, The Phuket Eatery, Endless Summer Beach Club, The Pool Deck and The Summer Social.
Whether guests are staying at the resort or planning a Christmas or New Year’s Eve dinner in Patong, they can celebrate in different settings without leaving the property.
