An important factor influencing the choice of the beach, waves. From the first days of April, the island is visited by monsoons from the west. They form constant waves. The peak of unrest is in the summer months.

At this time, on some beaches of Phuket, it is dangerous even to go into the water. It should be borne in mind that the constant wind, setting the waves in motion, brings and throws garbage on the coast. Swimming surrounded by unsightly bags is not very pleasant. But the expanse for surf lovers. There is always a wave for them! By the end of September, the waves begin to subside. The high season begins.

Choose places for relaxation where the tides occur in the evening or at night. So in the afternoon you can enjoy all the delights of a beach holiday. Now you can go to an overview of the best beaches in Phuket.

Patong Beach

The place on the island is very popular, with great modern beach infrastructure. At the same time, the beach area itself is surrounded by a tropical forest, which is very conducive to long walks accompanied by the singing of exotic birds. From the airport to Patong, the distance is 36 km. The best way to get there is, of course, a transfer. There will be no problems with a taxi, you will be taken for 600-700 baht.

Buses run every hour, the trip will cost 150 baht. By the way, you don't need to leave the airport building to catch a taxi or buy a bus ticket. Here, on the spot, you will find a large selection of special counters, where travel routes and their cost are written in large letters, and for the especially lazy there is a taxi order service on my website, the link to which you will find above.

Patong Beach will be the best for those tourists who like a noisy and fun holiday. There are countless cafes and restaurants, shops and hotels, nightclubs and diving centers, sex clubs and massage parlors. The beach stretches for 4 km. Sun loungers are waiting for you all the way. It is very convenient to enter the sea, the slope is average, rest with children on this Phuket beach will be excellent, just do not go far into the sea.

Karon Beach

In the popularity rating, this beach confidently takes 2nd place. There is very interesting sand here, it is able to make a characteristic sound like a creak. Unlike Patong, it is much cleaner and more comfortable here. From the airport to the beach about 40 km. A taxi will cost 900 baht. A trip on a local minibus (minibus) will cost 4 times cheaper, but you need to take into account that the driver will take all tourists to hotels.

This will stretch the travel time by several hours. Some ratings include Karon as one of the 10 best beaches in the world. It is not as noisy as in Patong, but the nightlife is also quite hectic. Hotels and restaurants abound, prices are low and food is delicious. The sea water is clear, the sand on the beach is clean. The depth sharply goes down, this allows you not to notice the ebb.

Spring-autumn is a period of pilgrimage for surfers, this season lovers of active rest in Phuket from all over the world flock here. During the day, amateur competitions are constantly held here among themselves, for photographers an ideal habitat and food for work, in the evenings such parties are very noisy, but this does not affect rest in any way.

The beach is separated from the hotel line by a highway. This means that extra meters will have to be covered to the sea. You will not hear the noise of cars during your vacation, as there is a line of dunes covered with tropical vegetation between the beach and the road. Prices in cafes and restaurants are quite reasonable.

The beach is great for families. Not far from the southern part of the beach is the majestic Buddha statue, whose height is 45 meters. Tourists willingly visit the picturesque local temple, which is located closer to the northern part of Karon.

Kata beaches

The name is given in the plural because the coast is divided here. Tourists are waiting Big Kata and Further... They are separated by a coastal promontory. From the airport about 40 km. A taxi costs around 900 baht, ordering a taxi from the airport to the beach is faster and cheaper through the Kiwi taxi service, ordering a minibus will cost 250 baht.

Why have many tourists dubbed this place the best beach in Phuket for a vacation? The beach is notable for its chic and comfortable, due to the slight slope, the entrance to the sea. It is very suitable for those who have a rest with small children. Hotel prices are average. You can find restaurants with European cuisine. At its northern tip, Kata Beach has one highlight - a small island Koh roo, next to it is a reef with unique water, this is a real paradise for snorkelers.

Bang Tao

The beach is at a distance of 20 km. from the airport. For a taxi, they will ask for about 700 baht. A budget minibus trip will cost 150 baht. The place is absolutely unique. The total length of the coastline of the beach is more than 8 km. Here you can relax in a very expensive hotel with the most modern infrastructure, and wander into "wild" places, where it seems that you are relaxing on a desert island.

All beach hotels are located here exclusively on the 1st line, more about them later. Not far from the beach is the territory of the national park, where you can admire an exotic waterfall for hours. By the way, he has the status of the main one on the whole island. If you are not too lazy and take a walk for about 30 minutes deep, then you can find yourself in a small, but very colorful Bang Tao settlement.

At the local hypermarket Tesco Lotus first of all, you will be amazed at the low prices, you can save a lot on buying souvenirs. By the way, you can order food at home from this supermarket, it comes out economically and quickly. Bang Tao Beach has long been reputed to be "Russian". It is not surprising that here some of the inscriptions are duplicated in Russian. Translators don't bother too much. Therefore, the following inscriptions look very touching on the tents: “GASTRONOM. We will deliver pizza "or" Hairdresser. We cut, shave. " Cool!

Kamala

Consider another best beach in Phuket - Kamala, which is visited by every tourist vacationing in Thailand. From the airport about 25 km. Piglets for a taxi from 600 baht. A minibus will cost around 200 baht. The beach is distinguished by the absence of large waves and magnificent views that open up to the sea and the nearby hills covered with tropical plants.

The place is quite quiet, suitable for romantics for evening walks or just for vacationers who decide to stay away from people. There is no nightlife. There are no problems with bars and restaurants, prices are not overpriced.Rest on this beach is unhurried, "vegetable", fry in the sun and periodically plunge into the clear waters of the sea, and what else do you need from a vacation in Thailand.

The number of hotels here is moderate, you can choose from cheap accommodation to 5 * stars. One of the features of the beach is the many restaurants serving Thai cuisine, where food is very tasty and inexpensive. And do not be confused by the fact that most of these establishments are built of bamboo, covered with palm branches, this does not affect food and recreation on the beach of Phuket Kamala in any way.

Nai Harn

Despite the sufficient distance from the airport (about 50 km), I included this beach in this review. This "peripherality" is, in fact, extremely attractive. There are few people here, and therefore it is always very clean and comfortable. And in terms of scenic beauty, this beach is perhaps one of the best in all of Phuket. Here vacationers are not afraid to cut themselves and go into the sea barefoot.

A taxi from the airport will cost you no less than 900 baht. Minibuses rarely go here. You can try to negotiate with the driver taking tourists to Kata beachesthen cook 300 baht. Whom you rarely meet here are Russian tourists, or rather those who go on vacation on a voucher.

• By the way, it is most profitable to buy tours to Thailand at low prices on the travelata website, personally, I have already taken advantage of the offers and bought several tours with good profit, one of the last trips was a visit to Vietnam.

On this beach you can see Thais resting. Truly a rare sight, Thai families often come here for a picnic. Of the attractions near the beach, one can note the old Buddhist monastery, the place is conducive to contemplation. There is a decent yacht club on the beach, therefore, a beach holiday in Phuket can be combined with sailing trips for a certain price, which you agree on.

There are not many hotels here. To relax on one of the best beaches in Phuket, get ready to settle in the valley, 5 kilometers from the beach. The places here are quiet, and the landscapes are magnificent, and the prices for housing do not bite, since the area is not very developed from a tourist point of view, you will definitely succeed in relaxing in silence.
