Phuket Beaches All beaches in Thailand are public. Unfortunately, in some cases developers buy all the land around the beach and do not allow access across their land to the beach, effectively making the beach exclusive to their own hotel. If you want to visit these beaches then you can try entering through the hotel, if they’ll let you in. Often they will not challenge you, and the worst that can happen is they refuse you entry. If you’re particularly desperate to visit a beach inaccessible by land, you can access the beach by boat, and legally nobody can stop you doing so!
There are several varieties of palm tree. The most common is the iconic image of many tropical beaches the coconut palm. You will see them everywhere on Phuket, with tempting bunches of coconuts clumped under the wide, feathered leaves. The coconuts are not easy to get at (in fact trained monkeys often do the hard work) and they taste much better chilled, or with ice. There will usually be a local food vendor selling them for 10 to 20 baht each.
Near Rawai beach there is a great Detox center. Here you can do fitness, workout and detoxing. As well as enjoy a thai massage or herbal sauna.
This may seem like unlikely advice, but don’t sit under coconut trees a surprising number of people are injured or killed by falling coconuts. In fact every year worldwide, the number of people killed by falling coconuts is significantly higher than the number killed by shark attacks.
The corkscrew palm is a common sight along the beaches of Phuket. There are magnificent rows of them on Thailand Detox Resort
many parts of the island. Actually, the screw palm isn’t technically a palm at all, even though it looks rather like one. Its official name is the pandanus. The leaves arrange themselves in a spiral, screwlike manner, leaving a corkscrew effect in the trunks as they drop off. The roots are a little bizarre. Rather than starting underground like most plants, the pandanus shoots out ‘prop roots’ a foot or two up the stem, above the ground at an angle.
Casuarinas are a common sight on many of Phuket’s beaches. This is a species similar to fir trees, which thrives in sandy soil near beaches. They have clusters of needle shaped leaves and drop small burs onto the ground. They grow to great heights and provide good shelter from the sun's rays.
