It's an strange thing, but I am non actually a beach person. My married adult woman fifty-fifty less so. And even hence nosotros alive inwards Phuket which is famous for it's beaches. We don't "go to the beach" really often. Our kids bask some beach time, but this is non something nosotros produce every weekend. There's a lot to a greater extent than to Phuket than beaches - as well as that was ane of the reasons I started this blog! If nosotros produce "hit the beach" as well as hence it's probable to hold upwards a placidity ane rather than ane of the principal westward coast beaches inwards Phuket. Last weekend nosotros took a piffling afternoon drive. We produce that sometimes .. only "go for a drive" as well as come across where the route takes us. My married adult woman as well as I figured that the terminal fourth dimension we'd been to Surin beach was inwards 2006. That sounds sort of crazy, but produce remember, nosotros are non on vacation hither .. nosotros receive got a normal life of go as well as schoolhouse as well as bills to pay. At weekends nosotros powerfulness instruct away, powerfulness receive got a trip somewhere, or to a greater extent than probable produce the garden, kids instruct to music class, receive got an tardily 24-hour interval at dwelling afterward a calendar week of go as well as schoolhouse ... Last weekend I wanted to depository fiscal establishment tally out Surin beach because amongst the back upwards of the electrical flow armed forces leadership of the country, Phuket has developed some cojones as well as issues similar taxi gangs as well as illegal edifice on the beaches are existence tackled. I wanted to come across Surin immediately that restaurants on the sand as well as "beach clubs" on the sand had been removed.
(above) The consequence ... no edifice on the beach. Only sand, palm trees as well as a few lucky depression flavor visitors.
Surin beach is non really big, but it has a fairly large motorcar green correct behind the beach every bit good every bit a municipal football game pitch. Space is express which is why restaurants as well as bars started to build on the sand. And, inwards my opinion, a few bamboo bars on the beach is fine, but Surin was getting silly, as well as it had "approval" from local officials who were allowing the evolution (for a price). And immediately all of a abrupt it's gone! We walked along the beach from the motorcar green to the northward cease where some rocks stick upwards through the sand. Our kids had terminal played hither viii years agone ...
(above) On the rocks at the northward cease of Surin beach
Well, dorsum inwards 2006 at that topographic point was a modest eatery close the rocks. Now I saw exclusively a beach guild called Zazada .. as well as (I did non look) I approximate the prices of drinks would hold upwards to a greater extent than than I desire to pay. The structures on the sand had exclusively been knocked downwards a calendar week earlier so, inwards places, things looked a fleck untidy. I'll instruct over again inwards a dyad of months as well as come across if everything is tidy! The kids flora a wooden swing hanging from a palm tree ...
Kids + beach + rope swing = who needs an iPad? Well, our kids receive got got used to our abrupt urges to receive got a drive. They powerfulness complain, but as well as hence bask the gamble to explore. While the man child jumped to a greater extent than or less on the rocks, the daughter walked to the really cease of the beach. Maybe someday she volition receive got the route less traveled. Crowded beaches? Where?
(above) Exploring the ends of Surin beach
After a spell nosotros walked dorsum southward to the carpark. The lack of whatever buildings on the beach is really pleasant. The same is happening at other beaches. I'd advise that people convey a picnic or halt at a 7-11 earlier arriving at a beach these days! At Surin, without the smaller beach restaurants, non hence much pick for eating. I mean, the beachfront shacks were non hence inexpensive anyway, but compared to the beach clubs (Zazada, Catch as well as Bimi) they were a deal! Surin is immediately a BYO beach! Only matter left standing on the sand is the lifeguard shack ...
I produce similar the thought of keeping the beaches natural, but people gotta swallow as well as drink! I imagine that ane time the whole matter blows over you lot volition come across drinks vendors on the beach, as well as hence peradventure some piffling mobile nutrient stalls, as well as and hence a piffling bamboo eatery as well as peradventure the whole matter volition start again! Surin is a overnice expanse to stay, at that topographic point are enough of hotels including Ayara Hilltops, Twin Palms as well as Manathai Resort.

If non staying at Surin, it's only a few minutes from Kamala beach or nigh xx minutes from Patong beach.

And if you lot are a beach person, it's worth exploring to notice the correct beach for you lot :)
We left Surin, heading dorsum dwelling via Kamala as well as Patong, but showtime ... inwards betwixt Surin as well as Kamala beaches used to hold upwards a piffling jewel called Laem Sing beach. Untouched. No construction. And I think my married adult woman as well as I had non stopped at that topographic point since nigh 2001! Back then, Laem Sing was a totally untouched paradise, but of course of report over the years a bar opened, as well as some other as well as a eatery as well as some other one. Now, amongst help from the friendly Thai army, all that volition hold upwards gone. Laem Sing volition hold upwards the adjacent weblog post, every bit nosotros stopped at that topographic point on the same day.
