Today we're heading to a small remote sandy cloth beach,
about four kilometers from Patong. You can take a shuttle straight to Paradise beach,
or like us you can take a scooter, it's not far and it's not hard to find if you have google maps,
but you won't be able to drive straight to the beach. You will have to stop at
the vast parking area, pay the entrance fee and then take a free shuttle down to the bay.
When you get to the entrance you will have to pay a hundred Baht entrance fee
that's about three US dollars, this will include a shuttle down and back up again, a beach chair,
umbrella and a free soda as well as access to toilets and showers close to the beach.
When they say, think of paradise this is most
likely the type of beach that you have pictured in your head.
Paradise beach has many activities to offer which includes snorkeling, and costs 150 to
200 Thai baht, from 30 minutes to 60 minutes, the price depends on how long you want to snorkel.
That said, you can bring your own snorkel gear if you have. You can also rent a paddle board
which is about 200 Baht for 30 minutes, and 300 Baht for 60 minutes, that's around 6 US dollars.
For the same price you can rent a kayak as well
which normally works out better if you're a couple, because you can fit two people on it,
and another activity is scuba diving, but you'll have to book that in advance. So if
you're done swimming there is showers in the bathrooms not far from the beach. It's
quite big it has a few showers, dressing rooms and toilets, it's well kept and well cleaned.
This beach is pretty awesome but there is a few things that you have to keep in mind,
you are not allowed to bring in your own food or drinks, so if you do want something you
can get that from the bar or restaurant. The price is a little bit more expensive
than what you would get in Patong, but it's understandable because this place is a paradise.
Something to keep in mind if you come early in the morning
you can have the beach pretty much to yourself, as well as the best service,
we just ordered Padthai and fried rice which cost 90 Baht per dish, that's around 3 US dollars.
Hope watching this video helped in some way,
if you're keen stay tuned we'll be posting a video about Phuket Sandbox, up next.
