    We paid 1600 baht each for 4 for a full day island hopping tour. The price includes hotel transfer, lunch, ferry service, unlimited refreshments onboard, snorkelling equipment and of course gorgeous beaches to frolick at. Compare this with the hotel reservation at 2800 baht and you will cry if you didn't shop around first. Form as big a group as you can and bargain for your money's worth. Singapore is worried that we are losing out on the tourism pie. In Singapore, just a 2 way ferry for the same 45 minutes to nearby Indonesia's Bintan island resort cost about 1250 baht before taxes. No wonder Phuket attract millions of tourists every year.

    Villages and Beaches: Chalong Bay During Sunset

  • Chalong Bay is a set off point for island hopping tourists. There are ferries and boats going to Phi Phi Islan and James Bond Island on a timely basis. Coral Island and other the nearby islands in phuket are also available by long tailed boats or speed boats.

    Villages and Beaches: Laem Singh Beach
  • Tip Rating:
  • Located, just 1 kilometer North of Kamala Beach, on the scenic route. There are 2 entrance to the beach, quite hard to notice if you are not femilier with the place. The best way is looking for area that packed with moterbikes. You have to pay 20 bath for entrance fee and parking. The walk to the beach is quite serene, there are lush vegetation along the way. The walk is about 900 meters downhill. There are beachchair and umbrella for rent, they are not for free. A set of beachchair and umbrella is about 150 bath per time. It doesn't matter how long, so make sure that you leave your beach towel or something on your chair just to make sure that you will not be charged twice. North-end of the beach have a make-use shower from natural spring above. There are several small restaurants that serve simply food and drinks. Prices are quite high but not that excessive. So Next time you are in Phuket and fry to find secluded beach to sunbathing, this is your place.

    Villages and Beaches: Freedom beach
  • Tip Rating:
  • It is a really small beach that you can reach only by boat, when in Patong beach ask some of the guys near the small boats on the seaside to bring you there and then agree with them the time they come and pick you up. You will find a really desert beach( at least it was desert a couple of years ago), white sand and incredible water.

    Villages and Beaches: Patong Beach
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is the view of Patong beach. It's not the most cleanest or most beautiful of all beaches but has been polluted by the throngs of foreign and local tourists who frequented the site. Patong beach is also the home for most sea sports activities such as wakeboarding, para-sailing, jet skiing, kite flying, etc......

    Villages and Beaches: Great little Cove Beach at Sing Cape
  • Tip Rating:
  • Just north of Patong and Kamala is a great little place called Sing Cape Cove. Parking is 20 BHT for a motorbike and 40 Bht for a car. The lot is on the Left or west side of the coastal highway and it is near the top of the hill between Kamala and Surin Beach. Once you park you walk down a little path through the rainforest to the beach. The view is amazing and lounges and umbrellas are available to rent for the day (50 Bht per day). There are 3 resturants and a fresh water shower to rinse off after a dip in the ocean (which is one of my favorite parts about this spot) the wave break is not bad and you will not find any surfing here (like in Karon). They even have jet-ski rental, paragliding, and air-matresses, body boards, etc. Bring a towel.

    Villages and Beaches: Finding the real Thai People
  • Tip Rating:
  • One good thing to do is hire a motor bike or Jeep and get away from the main towns, head along the coast away from PATONG and explore, drive down small roads, back lane ways roads you things there's nothign down there, go you will be amazed at what you will find. There are some wonderfull beaches to be found, small fishing villages and you can met the real Thai person not the ones that live and breathe the tourist trade. We found on our travels some realy great spots that we would never had seen if we stayed on the beaten track. The island is pretty big and its a wonderfull place so get out there and find your own piece of it.

    Villages and Beaches: Panwa Cape During Sunset
  • Tip Rating:
  • Catching sunset at Panwa Cape is a totally different feeling. To come here to catch sunset, i have to drive almost an hour from Patong to Panwa Cape. There are a few resorts at Panwa Cape which is popular with the Japanese and Korean tourists. The Phuket Underwater World is also located at Panwa Cape.
