Phuket Music Scene: Rocking in Rawai
In a previous article in The Phuket News, I described how the live music scene in Phuket has changed dramatically as a result of COVID-19. Some live venues have closed, others are hanging on, but some are thriving again and well worth a visit.

Take Rawai for example. The Freedom Bar at the north end of Rawai Beach has been a live music venue for 20 years now, the last seven under the management of Rung and her British partner Keith ‘Popeye’ Starr.
