Enjoy the Best Phuket Beaches in Thailand – Best Beaches to Visit

by Roland Lefevre
written by Roland Lefevre

Most travellers plan trips to Phuket simply to visit its beaches. But not many are aware of all the beaches that are situated in Phuket. While many would be aware of the popular beaches, Phuket also houses some idyllic beaches that are more secluded.

Ao Sane Beach

One has to pass through the Naiharn beach to reach the Ao Sane beach. But it offers an amazing view of the Naiharn bay and it is also a quiet spot. Therefore, if you are looking for a place to have some good Thai food while enjoying the view, this is the spot.

Laem Haad Beach

A beautiful beach located close to Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas, Laem Haad Beach offers stunning views of the surrounding islands and is relatively secluded. This beach is ideal for a peaceful day by the sea for those based at a Phuket luxury beach resort, a beautiful guesthouse, or any other type of accommodation.

Ya Nui Beach

This is a beach that is situated south of the Naiharn beach. Consider travelling to this beach as it is a great spot for snorkelling. Since there are some restaurants located around the beach, it is possible to spend the entire day at this location. It is generally advisable to visit during the high season in order to engage in snorkelling.

Laem Ka Beach

This is one of Phuket’s secret beaches as not many are aware of this beach. Furthermore, there are not even hotels situated nearby. Situated before Rawai when coming from Chalong, it is a great spot for those looking to read a book whilst enjoying a great view.

Kamala Beach

Although this is the first beach that can be found North of Patong, it is not very developed. Furthermore, as there is a Muslim community that resides close to this beach there are not that many bars, but there are some hotels and guesthouses. Moreover, it is a quiet beach that would appeal more to those who are looking for some quiet time.

Take a peek at Thailand’s Sino-Portuguese buildings located in Phuket, and stroll down the streets of Old Phuket Town, the most eye catchy location on the island. 

Thalang Road

Take a one-hour ride from Avani+ Mai Khao Phuket Suites & Villas to reach Thalang Road, easily reachable from most resorts in Phuket. Do not miss the Sunday Walking Street at Thalang Road, which is popular for its aromatic air that attracts your senses towards some of the juiciest street food in town. It is also one of the most ideal places to capture some Instagrammable shots. 

Phang Nga Road

Discover one of the best-kept secrets in the town of Phuket. The Shrine of the Serene Light (Sang Tham Shrine) located on Phang Nga Road was once a secret Chinese shrine that has now been transformed into a significant site. Back in the day, the shrine could only be accessed by a secret alley until it was discovered by the descendants of the Tan Luan Jae family in 1981. 

Soi Romanee

Walk into the most photographed street in all of Phuket. Soi Romanee is well known for its colourful buildings, which provide an ideal background for picturesque photographs. Be sure to reach the end of Soi Romanee to pay a visit to Wat Mongkol Nimit, a temple which shelters a golden stupa and is home to various ceremonies. 

Dibuk Road

Dibuk Road is another golden corner of Phuket Town that signifies the city’s attention to creative shophouse architecture. Their archways have been designed to protect those who pass by, from the sun; a thoughtful detail added to the structure. At Dibuk Road, you will also be able to purchase sweets and bread to experiment with Phuket’s way of dining.

by Kanya Mae
written by Kanya Mae

When you’re browsing for a Phuket luxury villa for sale, a range of factors have to be considered – apart from healthcare, schools, recreation, entertainment, and shopping facilities, you need to be aware of the legal aspects you’ll be signing up for when buying a property here.

Find a Good Agent

When fishing for good property in an unknown territory, you need to have someone who knows the in’s and outs of the region besides being able to recommend up and coming developments with investment potential.

Look for an Ideal Locale

Phuket is blessed with the finest beaches and jungles. Its properties – for instance, ones that belong to Avadina Hills by Anantara, are nestled in diverse locations from the countryside to the beachfront.

Do a Title Search

A title search on the property you have your eyes on will reveal if there are any outstanding mortgage payments associated with it.

Know the Laws

In Thailand, foreigners cannot own land on a freehold basis, but they may hold the rights of ownership over the building itself as the property is located on the land.

 

Buying a property in Phuket can be a bit daunting and complicated. Here’s what you should keep in mind when planning to purchase your dream house.
