It is a continuation of Patong. Usually no one swims on it, we didn’t risk it either. We didn’t notice any sunbeds or other tourist infrastructure.

★ Hua

- another tiny semi-wild beach, hidden near Kamala. It’s worth coming here once to take a photo and sit in silence on the seashore. We found this place a bit dirty for swimming. There is nothing nearby except a run-down cafe for locals.

Hua beach

★ Rawai

Rawai is not a swimmable beach, as it is very shallow, dirty and there are many fishing boats. Although this does not stop some and people dare to take a plunge here. There are chances to find affordable housing in the Rawai area. From the beach you can go to neighboring islands by hiring a boatman. Gorgeous views.

★ Tri Trang

Tri Trang is located between Patong and Karon. It is not very popular among tourists, since it cannot be reached on its own. More precisely, you can get there on foot, but you will have to walk uphill for about 40 minutes. In the heat, few people agree to this. The Tri Trang beach area itself is poorly developed; for movement you need to go to Patong. The main advantage is that there are never waves on Tritrang.

Mai Khao Beach in Phuket is “the beach where planes land.” That's what all tourists call it. Mai Khao is located right next to Phuket airport. Thus, on Mai Khao you can not only sunbathe and swim, but also photograph planes coming in to land. Mai Khao is very far from everything except the airport.

Get there on your own fabulous place You can rent a boat from any pier in Phuket. The cost may vary, depending on how successfully the traveler knows how to bargain.

Where is the best place to stay?

Phuket is a small island, and since people go to Thailand for its beaches, sun and entertainment, best place to choose a hotel will be Patong. The website will always help you book a room in advance.

Patong is famous not only throughout Thailand, but also throughout the world, both for its beaches and nightlife. She's focused on the street Bangla Road and at the Paradise Complex.

In Patong beach line divided into two main large beaches with developed infrastructure– Patong and Freedom. The first one is very crowded, it is always very noisy, there are a lot of children. Here you can get a massage on a bamboo mat and, in principle, get anything you want, from food to alcoholic cocktails, without leaving your lounger. The second one is quieter, secluded and cozy, without intrusive services, probably due to the distance from large hotels.

From Patong you can easily get to anywhere on the island by bus, rented car or tuk-tuk. There are also a lot of tour operators here, most excursions are organized directly next to the beaches, but there are also organized trips around the island from hotels, which need to be booked in advance.
