Paradise Beach, #Phuket

‘Paradise Beach’ sounds good, doesn’t it?  With such name, people expect

to discover another ‘beautiful-secret-hard-to-find-beach’ located near Patong.

And yes, to its credit, the sea is very blue, sand is powdery

and cute little boats are gently bobbing in the bay. Yes, it is small, remote and not easy to find.

But there is a catch. It ‘used’ to be impossible to find,

and I suspect that the concrete road had somehow changed everything.

The reality is deceptive and I would not recommend this place during the high season,

and I think the photos will tell better than the words: I’m still trying to understand why do people

would pack themselves so close to each other when they actually passed by a nicer beach.

Once you reach there, surprise! the beach entrance if not free, it is 100 baht per person.

Ok, they could argue that they give you a beach chair at that price,

and at the end it is the price you would pay for a chair anywhere on the island.

But I don’t want a chair, I just want to take some photos (and run away).

Sorry sir, it’s 100 baht. Well OK, at that price, at least I’ll get some photo to show you the situation,

that’s a a small price to pay for readers to know.

The area consists of two tiny bays. The first one, surrounded by restaurants and Salas, is larger

and the beach more sandy. At the end of it, a small concrete path leads to the second beach,

less popular because clearly not as attractive. The path continues uphill to a very small bar

with a bit of a view where some of the photos were taken, then few more steps

will take you to an inaccessible rocky bay in the back.  n their way (Tri Trang Beach).

When in Patong Beach, drive south to the bridge leading

to the well known ‘Amari Coral Beach Resort’, and turn left right after the bridge.

Then follow for few kilometers until you reach

the ‘Merlin Beach Resort’ on your left and the nice Tri Trang Beach on your right.

A sign pointing to ‘Paradise Beach’ a the bottom of the hill will indicate you to continue further

for another 2 or 3 kilometers. The road is quite narrow, but nicely paved

which makes it fairly easy (too easy). You will arrive on a large parking which

can accommodate about twenty cars and a lot of bikes.
