Best beaches in Phuket: plan your trip to Thailand!

Many experienced travellers would say that Thailand has some of the nicest beaches they have ever been to. However, it can be a problem for even an ‘old dog’ to find a Phuket, Thailand beach that fits all his needs throughout a huge number of them. There are many fancy beaches full of shops, food places and other establishments nearby, as well as quiet, hidden beaches with few people on them, although with no shops, restaurants, etc.

If you are planning your first trip to Thailand, you may want to see the most popular Thailand beach - Patong Beach, Phuket. In fact, it is the largest beach on the island of Phuket, while Phuket is the largest Thai island. The long, spread out coastline provides lots of beautiful picture sports, surfing hot sites, as well as many luxurious hotels and restaurants. This place stays busy all the time - multiple night parties are held every night to keep tourists entertained 24/7 and let them forget all the problems they left on the continent.

If you look at the map of Phuket, only 2 miles away from loud Patong beach you can find a way more peaceful Kata beach. Located in southern Phuket, it has about everything Thailand is associated with in our minds: palm trees, incredible views of the ocean, golden sand and a less high-rise hotels, shopping malls and crowds of tourists “floating” all over the place. This beach looks exactly like what you see when you search for Phuket, Thailand images online. The beach is also ideal for people who always wanted to try snorkeling - gear rental shops can be found all along the coast line. Depending on a season, Kata Beach becomes home for surfing lovers.

Many travellers don't think much where to go in Thailand, and the Lamai Beach, Koh Samui is a great example of the fact, because it is one of the quickest and easiest Thai island to get to from Bangkok. Even though it may become a reason for it being packed seasonally, the resort still finds a way to fulfil everyone`s vacation plans with one of the biggest and best beaches in Thailand.

Koh Tao Island, known as a perfect spot for scuba diving, also has Sairee Beach which is a mile-long coast line covered in white sand. Here you can find lots of rentals and food places with considerable prices within walking distance. This place is special because of the way to get to it: in order to get there you have to take a small trip on ferry. You’ll be lucky you took the trip when you see almost empty beaches that are all for you.

Full moon parties are probably the main events of the Haad Rin - another Thai Island. As soon as Moon finishes its circle, the quiet beach turns into an all-night-long festival followed with dancing, music shows, contests, etc. At the daytime, many people prefer to relax after a loud night on the golden coast, and they should, because despite the night-life side of Haad Rin - its beaches are considered to be some of the best beaches in Thailand. So, in between of full moon days the beach becomes a pretty nice place for resting by peaceful scenery, and it's way less crowded at the time as well.

Now that you know all about best Phuket city Thailand beaches and gorgeous beaches on other islands in Thailand - take your pick and pack the bags.
