There's no beating a tropical beach paradise when it comes to taking a vacation away from the suburbs and alleyways of the big city. For those who agree - consider visiting the island of Phuket, a peaceful and resplendent landscape that merges the beauty of the rainforest with the scenery of the coast, giving you the vacation in Thailand that you always dreamed of. Your beach trip starts here.
On the tranquil west coast of Phuket is the scenic Patong beach, famous and renowned. Lying across for 2 miles with a bright, lively atmosphere, this beach is everyone's favourite when they come to Phuket, with rows of sunbeds and beach chairs for rent, as well as the all-important ease of access to any Phuket holiday resort. Unfortunately, its popularity means that it is quite crowded given the peak holiday timings, so plan accordingly.
Comparatively less crowded than the previous option, Karon Beach is still no less beautiful than its counterpart with a stretch of beautiful white sands to welcome its visitors. It's also more popular for families and couples for its privacy in comparison to Patong, so if you're looking for privacy and beauty, this is the place to be, perfect for lazing and unwinding and making the best of memories together with your loved ones.
With palm trees swaying in the sea breeze, the Kata beach is as tranquil as can be - perfect for those beach bums and water babies who enjoy their time in the sand and sea the most. It's got activities based around these too - with surfing and parasailing opportunities in various numbers, ensuring a good time for those adventurous creatures. Consider stopping by if you wish to get some tan and adrenaline rushes away from the comfort of your local property.
This particular beach has gained a reputation for its crystal clear waters, in comparison even to the most beautiful beaches of Phuket. If water's your thing, make sure to step out of your local resort, whether it's the NH Boat Lagoon Phuket Resort or any other splendid beach resort, as you won't want to miss the sights that are available to you here. It's also famous for its FantaSea theme waterpark - an extra bit of fun for those looking for it.
Although the list of beaches that are beautiful in the Phuket locale can go on and on, we have to make room for an honourable mention here - the Bang Tao beach, with its spectacular length of 6km lined up with restaurants, resorts, clubs, and all sorts of things that make a beach as fun as they are. It's a top choice for honeymooners as well, with the sheer size of the beach providing a natural sense of privacy and space, and the most luxurious beach resorts that are ready to cater to its guests' every need.
