Beach Phuket

Phuket is not only a great tropical island in Thailand with plenty of beaches,

almost everywhere on the east cost and even better beaches on the west coast. A scenic island just you dreamed about. The blend of natural and man-made beauty got a little less beautiful since a construction boom started about 2005 and a tsunami of Thais from the north of Thailand flooded Phuket Island.

That even affected the beaches in Phuket because people with obviously the right “connection” were even able to put huge restaurant structures right into the sand of the beach, makes the whole beach look less appealing. A

Beaches in Phuket

Phuket beach usually is a real attractive ocean beach. White and yellow sandy beaches in Phuket are lined with pine trees and palm trees still show the idyllic picture of a tropical island in the Andaman Sea. Actually most of Phuket beaches are not lined with palm trees but with pine trees.

If you want to use a beach in Phuket to get your right sun tan, do it carefully, the sun is very strong at the beach also because the reflection from the water and within half hour you have a terrible sunburn. Means better spend a few Baht to the beach lady and lay down under a beach umbrella.

If you are ready for a beach massage just look around, at almost every beach in Phuket you will find the beach massage ladies. Usually fat women from the north of Thailand who came to Phuket Island to earn some money, they do quite a good job.

If you don’t want the massage on the beach of Phuket check where there is a massage parlor, they do the famous special Thai massage for the guys and more. You found the right massage parlor when you see a couple of pretty girls sitting in front of the parlor.

The beaches of Phuket are full with tourists from all over the world. Some of the better known beaches of Phuket are Patong Beach, Karon Beach, Kata Beach, Kamala Beach and many more; just check the menu at left or the interactive map.

Some beaches are crowded with tourists, particular Patong Beach and Nai Harn Beach, others are secluded. If you want to do a Phuket Beach hopping just rent a car or a motor bike and go, be very careful with the motor bike, since nobody takes traffic rules serious.

Beach parties are up from time to time. After a day in the water, relax at the beach hotel bar or hop along to one of the rocking nightclubs and nightlife bars at Patong
