The best place in Patong: clean and uncrowded. There is a cafe, a toilet, showers, sun beds and, most importantly, shade from trees)) But you have to come in the morning. After 14-15 hours, the tide is out, it is impossible to swim, all the stones stick out and the fish start to bite.
My favorite beach: entrance is free, sun beds are free, there are practically no people. The cafe is delicious, I had lunch there a couple of times) the prices are slightly higher.
Take water with you!!!!
I went from Karon, because there were crazy waves there, and there were practically no waves on Tri Trang.
There are also cute rocks in the shade)))
The cherry on the cake was an elephant at the entrance (you will not be taken to the beach itself, it has a steep descent down the steps, there will be light cardio back within 2-3 minutes). This climb did not upset me in any way.
You can feed an elephant for 100 baht and take a picture🤩
A secluded beach
There is garbage on the beach in some places.
We drove in from the elephant kennel and went down the stairs. The sea is clear and transparent. There were no waves, although there were already waves on the other beaches. There are sun beds from the hotel located there.
