Tri Trang Beach lies just south of Patong and is much quieter than its famous neighbour. It is a small, well-kept beach with the usual amenities, such as water sports and sea trips.
Apart from lying on the soft sand, you can play sports, enjoy the natural surroundings and try cocktails and Thai food.
More about Tri Trang beach
Like many beaches in Thailand, Tri Trang is easiest to reach by motorbike: just follow the road south from Patong. If you rent a motorbike, you need a valid licence with the motorcycle category, and you should always wear a helmet. The beach was once popular with tourists who wanted to relax on the sand away from everything. Today it is less well known than other beaches in the Phuket area, but it still keeps its old atmosphere, and there are activities on offer besides sunbathing.
You will find volleyball and tennis nets, jet-ski rental and, of course, kayaking and snorkelling equipment. Along the beach there are also more relaxing options such as oil and foot massages and hair braiding. Take a break and try the Thai food in the restaurants.
Here you will see the relaxing side of the ‘Land of Smiles’.
