Overview of Tri Trang beach near Patong. Tri Trang Beach Resort – Reviews Tri Trang Beach Phuket reviews

On the island of Phuket, not far from Patong, there is a sandy beach - no more than 1 km long. Tri Trang is its official name (translated from Thai as “crystal clear”). Locals call it “Tri Tra”, emphasizing its “emerald” character. What the Thais mean by this is not clear.

The main advantage of Tri Trang is its non-mass nature. Lovers of a calm and quiet holiday on the sea coast spend their time here. A few years ago, except for local residents having picnics under the shady palm trees, no one came here at all.

The beach strip is quite wide. During high tide, the sandy part goes several meters into the water. At this time, you can swim and swim at Tri Trang Beach. At low tide, the water goes far, greatly exposing the rocky bottom. Those who are not afraid of a tsunami have fun walking on the rocks, collecting shells and other marine oddities.

The water in the sea is clear and has a beautiful turquoise color. The general atmosphere is conducive to a relaxed pastime. The shore is suitable for family holidays: there are no big waves here, so it’s safe even for children to swim. Huge palm trees grow on the shore, providing shelter from the hot sun. There are sun loungers and umbrellas for rent.

To have a snack, vacationers can go to inexpensive cafes conveniently located next to the recreation area, which offer both local cuisine and European cuisine. Fresh and tasty drinks to suit the taste of any client. One of the most visited places on Tri Trang beach is Goodview Restaurant.

In the evenings, candles are lit here and torches are placed, which creates a romantic and unusual ambiance. You can come here in the morning for breakfast, and after swimming, after rinsing off in the shower.

Hotels

The left coast of the beach is occupied by small family-type hotels with swimming pools and sea views. One of the famous ones is Tri Trang Beach Resort (4*). Others in the same category: Merlin, Blue Ocean Resort, Absolute Twin Sand. For those looking for simpler accommodation, Aersa Paradise (2*) or At Zea Hotel (3*) with stylish design and marine-themed interiors are suitable.

In Phuket hotels, food for visitors is quite varied, and tourists speak very positively about it. The price of accommodation includes breakfast and dinner. There are European and Russian dishes. Always fresh food and fast preparation.

Breakfast includes buns, toast, vegetables, fruits, butter, jams, various cereals, milk, Thai dishes, ham, pancakes, cheeses, fried and boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, coffee, tea.

Professional massage therapists provide services on the beach. For one hour they will charge 400 baht per person. During the massage procedure, they will definitely ask about your condition and health. It is best to come for a massage in the morning, when the massage therapists are cheerful and 100% ready to work. Active recreation is developed on the island of Phuket.

We rested at the hotel from 18.07. to 07/30/19 Hotel on the seashore, about 3.5 km from Patong. On foot, due to the very hilly terrain, it is quite problematic. There is a bus from the hotel there - 2 times a day for free (at 9.30 and 15.00), additional trips for 50 TNV per person (at 12.00 and 17.30) to the Jangceylon shopping center. Returns - from the shopping center at 12.30, 15.00 and 18.00). Taxis and tuk-tuk require 300 TNV one way (you can bargain for 200). The beach is sandy, quite clean, but the tides are very pronounced. InWhen the tide is low it is impossible to swim - shallow. Ideal for families with small children. We stayed in a Superior room with a sea view. The room is large - 35 m2, spacious bathroom with shower, no bath, large balcony with a good view. They were cleaned daily with a change of linen (they left 20 TNV as a tip). The room has a safe, hairdryer, umbrella, TV, minibar. Free water, tea, coffee - replenished daily. The staff is friendly, friendly, there is a Russian girl at the reception. You can ask for an iron and ironing board - they didn’t take it from us until we left. The hotel has a massage parlor, prices are about the same as in Patong. Of the minuses: breakfast is monotonous. There are a couple of cafes near the hotel, but the prices there are quite high. The air conditioner was constantly running in the room. Due to the distance from party areas, it is advisable to have your own vehicle (the hotel has motorbike rentals). In my opinion, it doesn’t qualify for 4*, but it’s a solid 3*.…

I give this hotel a solid four. Because If we went in the off-season, Tri Trang Beach was recommended to us due to the lack of big waves. This moment lived up to our expectations. The beach is really good and you could safely swim. The hotel also has a very good location. And it’s relatively close to lively Patong, and there is no noise in the hotel from the same Patong. By the way, free transport runs from the hotel to Patong several times a day, which is also a big plus. There are also complaints about the staffdid not arise. If requests arose, they were fulfilled quite quickly, although of course without much enthusiasm on the face)) There are no complaints about the cleaning either, quite good for Thailand. Breakfast is also quite good, there was always something to choose from. Although without any special frills. Nice and big rooms with TV. Quite neat furniture. The room has everything you need for a comfortable stay. And most importantly, a large and comfortable bed. There is a massage on site, very high quality, we liked it. Of course, there is not enough entertainment in the hotel. When it got boring, we took day trips. By the way, for several years in a row we have been taking tours from the same guys from the Avitip company, the organization and attitude towards the client are always excellent, and the price tag is the most adequate compared to others. We especially like the guide Elena. Here is her contact +66958566736, maybe it will be useful to someone. There is nothing particularly unpleasant to highlight. In general, everything is very worthy, I recommend it.…

We were in this hotel in December 2017 (I don’t know why the app doesn’t let us choose 2017) and realized that we would come back here again and again! Now I don’t remember how long the trip from the airport to the hotel took, because at that moment it didn’t matter to me at all), but about 40 minutes, probably for sure. Well, the hotel is not big, the territory is not large, but this is only a plus, since there is not a huge number of tourists. The hotel is located away from Patong, from the perpetual motion,Therefore, for those who want to relax in silence - it will be 100% suitable. Moreover, if you want to hang out, then there are taxis, tuk-tuks or renting bikes if you know how to drive. We only had breakfast at the hotel. The choice is not huge, but quite decent: fruits, cereals, pastries, jams, eggs in different versions, water, coffee, tea, juices. In general, there is plenty to choose from and you won’t go hungry. The room overlooked the bay itself and this, of course, is a gorgeous view, it is worth the extra charge (initially from Moscow I paid extra for a room with a view). The room is spacious and clean. Everything worked and there were no complaints. Upon request, they brought an ironing board and iron and took it away only when they placed it near the door; until that moment no one touched it. Cleaning every day and high quality. All the scattered things were neatly folded. Yes, we left a small tip, but it wasn’t a pity at all. The bathroom has a standard set - shampoo, shower gel, soap and a bottle of water. There are also small bottles of water in the room, which were replenished or replenished daily. The staff does not speak Russian very well, but they understand Russian quite well, so it was not difficult to explain their request. There are 2 ATMs on site, so you can withdraw money if necessary. Within walking distance from the hotel there is a grocery store with everything you need: water, food, cosmetics, cigarettes, alcohol. In the hotel restaurant, you can order dishes from both Asian and European cuisine à la carte; there is also a children’s menu section, but I can’t tell you how large the range of choice is. There are also bike rentals on site, the price is overpriced compared to those who are just on the street, but not critical. The Internet was available in the room, so there were no problems, but personally, we bought a SIM card initially so that we could have access to the Internet everywhere and not be tied to wi-fi. The sea here ebbs and flows, so you won’t be able to swim much in the morning, but around 11 o’clock the water rises and you can swim all night! I’ll end where I started - this is the hotel to which I will return every time I visit Phuket!…

We were in this hotel as a transit on our way to Koh Samui. We arrived early in the morning as a group. Some people go on vacation to this hotel, others just for a day, like us. Those who came specifically to Tri Trang were accommodated immediately, given a card for breakfast, and we were told to come at 14-00. Naturally without breakfast. After an overnight flight we were very tired, but there was nothing to do. They started looking for the luggage room. We were not provided with any information, since there are no Russian-speaking staff at the hotel. Wobbler at the end exhausted andthe sweaty ones somehow changed their clothes and went to the beach to freshen up. Imagine our surprise when we didn’t see a single sunbed near the sea! For a 4* this is strange to say the least. The only plus is that there is no strong wave. The hotel itself is located on a hill, with many steep steps. They finally gave us a room in building 4, the first one on the hill. The room is not bad. It opened, but the electricity did not turn on. I had to go to the reception again and explain something. They stuck something on the card and everything worked out. In the evening we went to dinner outside the hotel, up the hill and to the right. Some kind of cafe. Almost the only one in the surrounding area. The food is good, but the prices are not low. There is no civilization in the area. During the day we still had time to go to the city. The hotel provides a free shuttle service. What we were transported on looks more like a cattle truck. Something without doors, with benches along the windows and fans instead of air conditioning! We rode back in an open truck with metal bars on the sides. Breakfasts. I would say meager. Just have a snack and that's it. On another site there are more detailed casts from Sergei and Igor. I completely agree with them. I don't recommend the hotel.…

(Phuket) there is a secluded place - Tri Trang Beach. The length of the coastline is approximately 700 m. Tri Trang Beach is located in a bay, so there are very few waves here. The main disadvantage of this beach is the strong low tides, during which it is almost impossible to swim in the sea. But during high tides, the Andaman Sea is quiet and calm, favorable for swimming for children.

How to get there

From Phuket Airport, the distance to Tri Trang Beach is approximately 35 km. From neighboring Patong you can get to the beach in two ways. The first way is more civilized. On the southern side of Patong, the road leads across the bridge, driving along it to the neighboring cape for about 6 km, you can get directly to the Tri Trang Beach Resort hotel. There is a shower and parking for motorbikes and cars. The second entrance to the beach is located near a huge tree, at least three meters in diameter. Here you can park on the side of the road and walk through a hole in the fence to the beach.

Description

Tri Trang Beach is also called Emerald Beach, which is the name of the bay on the island of Phuket. Tri Trang translates to “crystal clear.” Thais often call it “Tri Tra”, which means “Emerald”. Not so long ago, only local residents knew about this beach, having picnics under the shade of the trees. Nowadays, this once wild place has been taken over by civilization. Hotels and cafes appeared on the shore. Although the beach has become more visited, there are very few casual people here. Mostly it is visited by vacationers from local hotels.

The strip of sand is quite wide. Tall trees grow on the shore, creating good shade during the hottest time of the day. The sand is fine, the sea water is clear. The entrance to the sea is comfortable and shallow, which is good for swimming children. It is better to swim on the north side of the beach. At low tide, swimming is impossible, as the water can move 50-70 m from the shore, exposing an uneven bottom with reefs and stones. Some vacationers move around these reefs as a form of entertainment, collecting shells.

According to reviews, Tri Trang Beach is well suited for off-season holidays on the island. Phuket, that is, from May to October. Those wishing to relax in a calm, quiet environment will appreciate this secluded place.

On Tri Trang beach there are several restaurants and hotels, and a massage parlor. Although the beach is municipal, umbrellas and sunbeds are paid, their rental will cost 200 baht. For active recreation, appropriate equipment is available for rent: water skis, jet skis, paragliders, snorkeling sets. At the beach cafe there live small elephants who take children for rides during the day, swim in the sea, bringing joy to the kids.

There are no attractions on Tri Trang Beach, but by walking or driving to Patong Beach, you can visit the zoo, Chalong Temple, and the butterfly garden. rich in beautiful beaches such as or. But Tri Trang, with its privacy, also finds its admirers who come here all the time. Among the advantages of the beach, many note the absence of waves, which is surprising compared to Karon and Patong.

Among the main disadvantages of the beach are the low tides. Already 20 meters from the shore there are dead corals that can cause injury to the elbows, knees and feet of vacationers. Although the entrance to the sea itself is sandy and flat, it is convenient to swim here, but in some places on the beach it is dangerous to move along the bottom without shoes because of the corals. Injuries occur most often when the water moves away from the shore and you have to swim where there are corals at the bottom.

Hotels

There are several hotels on Tri Trang Beach. They are located on the side closest to Patong. As a rule, these are inexpensive multi-story hotels with swimming pools. The terraces and rooftops offer beautiful views of the Andaman Sea and green hills. Among the hotels in Tri Trang you can name such as Tri Trang Beach Resort (more expensive), Blue Ocean Beach Resort Tri Trang 4* (cheaper).

Small hotel Blue Ocean Beach Resort(Phuket) is located on the 1st line, 200 m from the water. It has 33 rooms, all rooms have balconies, bathrooms, TVs, air conditioning, tea and coffee making facilities. The hotel has its own beach and swimming pool.

From the reviews of this hotel you can understand that the pool is old, with dilapidated steps, but it is open 24 hours a day. Although the beach is private, it is not very clean and there are no sun loungers on it. Breakfast is monotonous. There are no shops or cafes within walking distance; taking a taxi to the neighboring beaches is expensive. There is free transport to the Jangceylon shopping center. There are many rave reviews about the luxurious views that open from the hotel windows. You don’t have to turn on the air conditioning at night, leave the windows open and breathe in the salty smell of the sea surf.

Much more positive reviews about the hotel Tri Trang Beach Resort 3*(Phuket), which is located in close proximity to the sea, in a park area. Its opening date was 2005; restoration was carried out in 2011. The total area occupied by the hotel exceeds 11 thousand square meters. m. It is located on the mountainside, in a secluded place, but at the same time a 10-minute drive from the Patong promenade, where you can find a lot of nightlife.

Many tourists from Russia relax at the Tri Trang Hotel. There is a small village nearby. The hotel has several buildings; the 5th building is located at the highest point. From the terrace of this building you can clearly see the sea, nearby hills, the Thai village and the road to Patong.

The hotel has its own beach. There are three swimming pools on the territory, near which vacationers can spend time during low tides. The standard room has a bathroom with shower, King-size bed, TV, air conditioning, refrigerator, balcony or terrace.

In the reviews, vacationers note that the 2nd building is the best, the 4th is called the worst, with a view of the village and roosters crowing in the morning. Many people speak well of massage treatments. Although they cost 450 baht at the hotel, they are much more effective than on the beach for 300 baht. There is a hotel restaurant on the seashore.

Among the advantages of the hotel, tourists note the following:

• very good location near the sea, among trees, away from noise;
• private beach;
• quiet place;
• purity;
• landscaping;
• good restaurant;
• free Wi-Fi;
• breathtaking sea views from the terraces and windows of the rooms.

In the restaurant, tourists receive buffet breakfast; if desired, they can also have lunch and dinner here. At the same time, some hotel guests were dissatisfied with the fact that, apart from this restaurant with high prices, there are no other, more budget-friendly food outlets within walking distance. Taking a taxi to other sites is expensive. True, there is free transport to Patong, which departs 2 times a day, but it is always crowded, as there are too many people wanting it. Evening transfers for those who like to have fun in clubs are not organized.

Among the disadvantages of the hotel are also the following:

• although there is an elevator, you need to climb too many stairs to get to the beach;
• the service leaves much to be desired, the rooms are not cleaned very thoroughly;
• There are no shops near the hotel, the nearest cafe is a 20-30 minute walk;
• Air conditioners in the rooms are installed above the beds.

The entrance to the sea is gentle, the beach is clean, the water is clear. In fact, the name of the beach translates as “crystal clear”. The only inconvenience will be rocks in the sea in some areas. Therefore, we recommend swimming in special shoes or flip-flops.

The northern part of the beach, closest to Patong, is more suitable for swimming.

Due to its favorable location, there are almost no waves here; in any case, they are always smaller than in Patong and others.

How to get there

The beach is only 2.5 km south of and separated from it by a hill, so it is not possible to walk along the coast. If you wish, you can walk from the south of Patong in 40-50 minutes, but you need to understand that the road goes up and down, so count on your strength in the heat.

You can take a taxi for 300 baht from Patong and 400 baht from.

You can rent a kayak from nearby beaches and paddle across the water.

To get to Tri Trang Beach with your own transport, drive along the coast. Then at the fork you turn left and go up the mountain. Next there will be a sign to the Tri Trang Beach Resort hotel. Drive in that direction and you end up on the beach.

Hotels

There are not many hotels on Tri Trang beach and near it yet. But construction is underway and more and more housing offers are appearing right on the 1st line.

This significantly distinguishes the beach from Patong, where there is a road near the coast and housing is located on the 2nd line.

The best hotels on Tri Trang Beach.

Hello everybody! I rested in this hotel in March-April 2017. In a word - satisfied! There are a lot of reviews about Phuket and the hotel in particular, so I’ll just add a few of my impressions. 1). Hotel. The rooms are good, clean and comfortable. The main reason we are going to Thailand is the sea. Here you almost jump into it from the balcony. This is the main advantage of the hotel. But this is the downside, civilization is far away. Patong and all entertainment can only be reached by transport. But! A bus runs there and back 2 times a day free of charge from the hotel (and a couple of times for a fee - 50 baht). You can just go shopping in the thick of it and come back, so the morning and evening beaches remain with us. But it’s so good, quiet and calm! The staff is polite and attentive. Russian-speaking hotel guide available. Once they forgot to put a towel when cleaning the room. I told the reception - they brought it quickly. If he cracked a glass, they didn't deduct any damages for breaking dishes when moving out. Yes, what’s good is that they don’t take a deposit upon check-in! 2). I liked the food (I only took breakfast). Very varied, every morning a couple of soups (spicy and regular), potatoes-rice-noodles-omelet-fried eggs-salads-vegetables-herbs. Bananas-watermelons-pineapples. For those who complain about scarcity, the hotel will not serve mangoes and durians. And in general, anyone who criticizes nutrition is a disingenuous person. At home for breakfast, not even a tenth of this happens. Maybe someone is eating in a cafe or the cook is cooking, he’s lying again, he’ll be resting somewhere else. 3). Currency exchange only in Patong. Don’t change at the airport or hotel, it’s not profitable. It’s best to go to exchange offices (exchangjah) and don’t run around the city looking for the best exchange rate, the difference is very insignificant (well, you’ll gain 100 re from the entire exchange, would you go to the ends of the earth for this?). 4). Features of rest. The last time I was in Thailand was 4 years ago. Prices have changed a lot! It was 1 ruble = 1 baht, now it’s 2 to 1. And prices themselves have risen noticeably. So forget about Thailand as a budget holiday. I was left with the impression that vacationing in Europe is no longer particularly expensive. So we go only for exotic things. Shopping is also not worth it, some branded items are no cheaper than in Russia (more precisely, I’m talking about Moscow). You can buy latex pillows, towels, fruits, souvenirs. That's it. 5). Bike rental. Worth it if you want to move freely. But the police catch you all the time! I drove without a category A license, the fine is 500 baht, but you drive further the whole day (they give something like an indulgence letter, and other traffic cops let you go). Yes, and you shouldn’t conflict with the locals, the police will be on their side in any case. Customs! You can read about other moments of relaxation in other comments. Once again - I’m happy with both the hotel and the vacation! Good luck to you!
