Phuket is famous for its stunning beaches, each with its own distinct atmosphere, attracting tourists from all over the world who come to unwind, swim, sunbathe, and partake in various water activities. Among the most popular beaches are Patong Beach, Karon Beach, Kata Beach, Kamala Beach and Nai Harn Beach.
In December 2022, I had the opportunity to visit Phuket, and it turned out to be an unplanned but delightful experience. It all started when I stumbled upon a Black Friday sale on the internet, offering a whopping 70% discount on hotel stays. Without hesitation, I seized the opportunity and booked a stay.
What made the hotel even more appealing was its accessibility to the beach. A short walk allowed us to reach the sandy shores and immerse ourselves in the tranquil waters. Additionally, the hotel provided a complimentary shuttle service to Kamala Beach, allowing us to explore another beautiful coastal area with ease.
