Nai yang beach resort planes. Nai Yang Phuket Beach Guide: Secret Appearances and Passwords. When is the best time to go

SAD NEWS NUMBER ONE. The entire coast was one big continuous garbage heap along its entire length. Mountains of household and natural waste, old networks, some fragments of buildings and endless plastic, plastic, plastic... I wanted to cry. Yes, in fact, almost cried. Well, we couldn’t change anything, we had to live with it and somehow adapt to it.

CHANGES TO THE HOTEL.
To date, a fairly large part of the hotel is closed for repairs. Out of access is the third pool, a wonderful alley leading to the lobby and being the hallmark of the hotel, an aviary with turtles. There are almost no outlandish living creatures that inhabit this small piece of the jungle - a variety of lizards, butterflies, interesting birds, iguanas. Perhaps due to repairs, and perhaps due to the fact that all the bushes are periodically watered with poison from insects. Mosquitoes and midges, however, are not getting smaller, they are desperately eating. Squirrels and geckos remained in abundance. Well, dogs. Chiquito is alive and well, Lisito is somewhere in dog heaven. The road to the lobby and the beach is now bypassed, along the newly opened building, in which transit Chinese spend the night. The road is not burdensome, pretty, just a bit longer. The fact that the hotel is being renovated does not affect the rest in any way - you can’t hear anything, there is no dirt at all. If a person has not been to a hotel before, then he will not guess that in fact he is much larger. The territory is still clean and fragrant, there is still no cleaning of the rooms, breakfasts are edible, and sometimes very tasty. The Chinese do not bother at all with the commissioning of a new building. The main thing is not to go to breakfast early, but somewhere around 9-10.
But back to the sea and the beach - we are all going to it. I wrote about the beach. Until the very departure, it was never cleaned, it only got dirtier with each tide. We ourselves had to clear the strip from sunbeds (the Thais clean a narrow strip near them) to the sea (were with a small child), we would have lived like that, but another trouble came from where they did not expect.
SAD NEWS NUMBER TWO. This year, the sea is teeming with jellyfish, moreover, poisonous. In our family of five, three were stung, one of them twice and one three times! The burns were of varying severity (this depends on the size of the jellyfish and the promptness of the actions taken), the most severe - two days of incessant vomiting, wild dizziness, diarrhea, fever, and aches. This is in addition to very severe pain and scars. Because for the first time we were not ready for such a turn of events and had no idea how to behave. Then the poison was immediately neutralized and the consequences were easier.
By the way, about the weather in the low season. Normal, good sunny weather. It rained intermittently, short and refreshing. Once there was a tropical downpour of great force at night, but in the morning everything was dry and fragrant with cleanliness. So the weather is fine. Another thing is that this is the season of storms in the open ocean and mud and jellyfish bring just them. There are no storms on Nai Yang due to being surrounded by a coral reef, but it still carries all sorts of rubbish. Deprived of a full-fledged beach and the sea, we decided to rent a car and drive to other beaches. We took it right at the hotel, 1000 baht for the first day, then everything is cheaper. (Toyota Corolla medium shabby). Traveled all known and unknown beaches and stopped at Nai Harn. Very beautiful and very clean snow-white beach, the water is like on the Similans (who is in the subject). With Nai Yang, in his current state, is not comparable. When there are no waves or they are small, you can’t imagine better, it’s very beautiful, there are sunbeds, lifeguards, there is where to eat. But when the waves - you can’t swim, these are real ocean waves, which is why the beach is so loved by tourists who are keen on surfing.

SAD NEWS NUMBER THREE - JELLIES ARE ON ALL BEACHES! On Nai Harn, they also received a sickly burn. We rested five times in the low season and did not know about such a misfortune, and now. It was not possible to buy enough. Everywhere jellyfish were seen either right on the shore or in the sea. To swim or not - everyone decides for himself, this is his risk zone, but when you are with a three-year-old child (and children suffer from burns much harder, up to cardiac arrest from pain shock), then the choice between yes and no is not worth it. In general, it is very convenient with a car, we traveled all over the island, looked at everything that had not been seen before. We went to the aquarium. Rather, an aquarium, by the way, that's what it's called. Several containers with different fish and a glass tunnel. You can take a picture in it, but in fact it is no more than five meters. Took half an hour to see everything. So-so. The cost is 180 baht per adult, children up to 108cm tall are free.
Another sadness, number four. While putting the child to bed, she noticed that ants were running over him. Not one or two, but a straight path was laid. She lifted the pillow and was stunned - during the day an anthill formed under the pillows and the mattress. Picked up the child and at the reception. I don’t know English, by virtue of my abilities I depicted a bed and an evil ant on a piece of paper, aggravated it with the epithet “many-many” ... When we returned to the room, they had already poisoned everything and changed the beds. Fast and efficient.

Something has changed in the ROOM over the year. Repair, of course, was not done, but there are some pleasant little things. For example, they changed the shower - now it is very good, with a large, adjustable and removable square watering can with a very strong water pressure. Hot water is always available, and it is hot, not room temperature. Sockets were not added. The bed linen is white, the mattresses and pillows are comfortable, the size of the bed is amazing. An iron and an ironing board are brought to the room upon request at the reception or by phone (the iron is pre-revolutionary, without a steamer). Internet is free, there were interruptions, but short-term ones. The speed is normal. The TV was hung on the wall, the table was freed and it became much more convenient. There is still one Russian channel, but no longer "Rusphuket TV", but the First Channel, broadcast to Germany. It differs from our time of release of the usual programs.

ADVICE. Going on vacation, we, like everyone else, always take a bunch of medicines with us for all occasions. So you don't have to do this. In Thailand, all these medicines are available, only much better and much cheaper. There are many more that we don't have. Due to such an unlucky holiday in terms of health, we came across this closely and I assure you with all responsibility that their means are much more effective, even with the active ingredient of the same name. And in general, there are first aid supplies in every Family Mart for a penny. The best pharmacy is opposite FM, the Thai woman speaks good English and has a translator program in her computer. Our smartphone translator in the Russian-Thai mode is complete nonsense, you must first do a Russian-English translation, and then from English to Thai.
In general, it did not work out to fully enjoy the sea this season (and we are in Phuket for the seventh time), all bathing is very hasty and with constant looking back. Who with small children - think, there is only a pool, moreover, one - in the second, our yellow-faced brothers are constantly rinsing in an unmeasured amount. True, our pool, which is in the TROPICAL WING zone, although small, but clean, is surrounded by fragrant plumeria, there are almost no people in it, sunbeds are always free, the water is clean and almost hot. Not a single Chinese was seen in it during the entire vacation. Only our Russian children in the amount of one, maximum two.

I can say for myself that I probably will not come here again. There will always be a fear that the picture with the beach and the sea will be repeated. It's like a lottery. Of course, this has nothing to do with the hotel - the beach is municipal, jellyfish in the low season with storms migrate wherever they want, but we are flying to the sea. And he was not at all on this our vacation. I have never seen such a srach on the shore. There was almost no crystal water, like last year. Plus countless hordes of mosquitoes and small midges, which everyone calls for some reason "beach fleas".

TIP number two. ON THE EVE of departure, after cleaning, carefully count everything in the room - the number of towels, plates, spoons, cups. History repeated itself last year. The maid tried to steal a plate taken for painting (she was caught red-handed) and two towels were not reported to the last cleaning. Don't think it's an accident. In this hotel (as, indeed, in many others), this is a common practice. Then, when you hand over the number, you are billed for all these losses and you will have to pay, because you will not have time to sort it out. I just don't know who in this hotel is the proactive link in this commercial undertaking - the hotel management or the maid-reception team. However, be careful, their penalty prices are not small.

SUMMING UP. The place is still calm and pleasant, almost homely. The hotel area is small, but green and well-groomed. The rooms, although old, but for a short life they have everything you need and work properly. If, as we did last year, you are lucky with a clean beach and a jellyfish-free sea, then you will have a wonderful vacation. What I wish you from the bottom of my heart!

Nai Yang Beach Phuket Guide: Secret Appearances and Passwords

Good day, friends!

Nai Yang Beach is one of the most beautiful places in Phuket. Located just 10 minutes from the airport on the territory of the Sirinat National Park, it compares favorably with silence, low population and calm sea.

This place is not popular with tourists. Many people think that the nearest airport is not the best neighborhood, that the village is small, there is no civilization there, and it is problematic to rest comfortably.

In this article I will dispel all these misconceptions, talk about today's Nai Yang, how to get to it, which hotels are better to stay in, where to change money, cafes and massage parlors, a market and a supermarket, mobile communications and WiFi, about what to do and what to see, about prices for accommodation and meals, I will give some advice.

I recently wrote about this beach, you can read my impressions of two years ago.

The article turned out to be long, there are more than a hundred photos, but after reading it, it will be easy to imagine a vacation in this place, it will not be difficult to calculate the travel budget. For those who care only about certain moments, there is a convenient content, where by clicking on the desired item you will immediately go to the information that is important to you.

The beach is located in the village of Nai Yang, located 5 km from Phuket Airport. Moreover, if you go along the coast, then it is only 20 minutes to the runway.

Unfortunately, there is no public transport from the airport to the village, and you won’t be able to walk either, because the road takes a bit of a detour. There are no tuk-tuks near the air harbor either, so you will have to take a taxi.

The taxi stand is located at the exit from the arrivals area on the right (the old airport), the prices there are "awful" - 400 baht for a car and 700 baht for a minivan. You can and should bargain! Of course, they won’t cut it in half, but you can save 100 baht.

In this case, it is cheaper to order a transfer from the hotel. For comparison, I can say that from the hotel Naya Yang Beach Resort Spa transfer costs 250 baht for 4 people and 400 baht for a minivan. As you can see, the difference is noticeable.

Travel time is 7-10 minutes. You won't get tired.

Hotels and guesthouses

Despite the fact that the beach itself is about 1.5 km long, its active part is not so big. The choice of hotels and guesthouses near the sea is small. In March, they were filled by no more than 50%, it was not difficult to rent housing on the spot upon arrival.

The cost, of course, is an order of magnitude higher than equivalent housing in Patong, but the quality of the beach and the sea is two orders of magnitude higher here.

Hotels 5*

- 8840 baht for a double room with breakfast per night.

The most remote and secluded hotel. Located right on the beach, surrounded by lush tropical vegetation. Cottage-type hotel with excellent spacious rooms and well-trained staff. There is a kids club. It takes 15 minutes to walk along the beach to civilization, you will have to ford a small river (at low tide without water, at high tide there is water for melting). The only negative of the hotel is the beach. Of course, it is very beautiful, deserted and cozy, but there are strong ebb tides, so sometimes you will have to walk at least 250 meters to the water. You can go swimming at low tide to the center of Nai Yang Beach, but for this you have to walk along the coast 200 meters to the right.

- 4100 baht for a double room with breakfast per night.

Large, fresh hotel. Located across the road from the beach (50 meters). One building overlooks a busy road. Lots of villas with private pools. The rooms are just huge with new furniture, there are apartments with a kitchen. The territory is small, there is little greenery, there is no beach, the one near the hotel is not very pleasant. In my opinion, the cost of living is too high.

4* hotels

- 2600 baht for a double room with breakfast per night.

One of the most comfortable and quiet hotels on this beach. Service, services, rooms, staff - at the highest level. It is located in a quiet place, 100 meters from the beach. It is separated from the shore by a small river and a park with huge tropical trees. To shops and other infrastructure, walk along a shady path or shore for 3 minutes. My review and description of the hotel.

- 2430 baht for a double room per night (breakfast 300 baht per person, you can pay if you wish).

Located 50 meters from the beach across the "symbolic" road in the center of the entire civilization of Nai Yang. The location is very good. In my opinion, the best option for a long stay in Nai Yang in terms of price / quality. Read a detailed review of the hotel.

- 2230 baht for a double room per night (breakfast + 240 baht per person).

The hotel is located a 10-minute walk from the sea and this fat minus crosses out all the pluses, because you have to go along a busy asphalt road under the scorching sun. The hotel itself is very decent. New, modern furniture, great area, helpful staff.

3* hotels

- 1400 baht for a double room with breakfast per night.

A good budget hotel five minutes walk from the sea, 10 minutes from a comfortable beach and busy tourist infrastructure. The rooms are average, the furniture is a little tired. But the low cost makes it easy to put up with it. I think that this is a good option for those who want to save on accommodation.

Guesthouses or "2* hotels"

Naiyang Discovery Beach Resort 2*- 2000 baht for a double room with breakfast per night, 1200 baht for a straw house with a fan.

Although they position themselves as a 2 * hotel, I would call it a guesthouse. Its only fat plus is its proximity to the sea. The hotel is located right on the beach in the heart of the tourist infrastructure. However, the rooms have a view of a fence or an unsightly courtyard, very dark and damp. Nearby is a cafe, from which not always pleasant smells come.

Rimlay Bungalow 2 * - 1500 baht for a double room per night (breakfast + 200 baht per person).

The best guesthouse in Nai Yang. Located right on the beach, infrastructure nearby, rooms with large French windows, clean and comfortable.

There are five more guesthouses on the beach, they are crowded, one after another. I only wrote about the ones that I managed to get into. The hotels displayed everything that is within walking distance from the beach.

In fact, if you type in any well-known search engine (Booking, Agoda, etc.) "Nai Yang Thailand", many offers will come up. However, all of them are located far from the sea, closer to the airport, and are focused on a short stop before departure or arrival.

The purpose of this article is to talk about this place as a good option for a long vacation in Phuket, so the points of accommodation that are located near the beach and are suitable for a long vacation, and not just as a transit point, are written above.

Nai Yang is a beautiful and cozy beach. There are no crowds here, while there is everything you need for a beach holiday.

If you are used to high-level hotels, then I would recommend staying at. Despite the low tides, the beach is very beautiful, the bottom is flat, the water is clear. Even leaving, the sea leaves a chic smooth sand, pleasing to the eye. You can swim all the same, having fun walking along the coast 200 meters to the right.

River on the left side of the beach

Slightly easier option L'esprit De Naiyang Beach Resort 4*. Here, too, excellent rooms, well-trained staff and cozy villas. There are small low tides (50 meters), 100 meters to civilization. The same silence as in the first version.

For middle-income guests, I recommend Nai Yang Beach Resort & Spa 4*. Excellent hotel, well located in the busiest part of the beach. The rooms are a bit tired but spacious. Decent WiFi. I spent more than two weeks here, I didn’t regret it, read the detailed hotel.

Left entrance to the hotel

From guesthouses I advise Rimlay Bungalow 2 *. Good location, decent rooms, sane hosts.

They also deserve attention, but they are for those guests who are not afraid of a daily walk to the sea under the hot sun, unfortunately, there is almost no shade along the way.

Sea and beach

Well, I got to the most important thing, why do we go on such a long journey in winter. The sea and Nai Yang beach in the season is beyond praise.

Sea

There are no waves on Nai Yang. On the sides there are huge breakwaters that do not allow the elements to break through to the shore. Even with a strong wind, the sea is always calm. The entrance is smooth, gently sloping, which is clearly visible during low tides.

Low tide on the right side of the beach

In March, the sea began to leave in the afternoon, which is very noticeable on the left side of the beach. There is a ruined hotel and a small island. By sunset, you can reach the island without getting your feet wet. Tourists like to observe small living creatures (shells, crustaceans) on the stones surrounding the island at low tide. In other places - smooth sand without the slightest vegetation.

A ruined hotel on the left side of the beach, you can see that the tide has begun and the sea is shallowing

In the middle part of the beach, where the entire civilization of Nai Yang is located, the sea only shallows. At high tide near the shore, chest-deep 10 meters from land, and at low tide after twenty. Therefore, low tides are almost not felt here.

The central part of the beach, view on the left side, in the distance to the right you can see part of the ruined hotel, a little closer to the left you can see the five-star Marriot

The central part of the beach, guesthouses are visible in the background

On the right side of the beach, the sea goes a little more, but not by much, so it does not interfere with swimming. But there are many fishing boats, tourists prefer to pull closer to civilization.

Nai Yang beach from the airport at a glance

Beach

There are sunbeds in the central part of the beach, there are a lot of them, enough for everyone no matter what time you come. The cost of one sunbed is 100 baht, respectively, two sunbeds plus an umbrella will cost 200 baht. This is the price for the whole day. Moreover, if you come after dinner, they will take the same 100 baht for a sunbed, so you won’t be able to save money in this way.

The cleanliness of the beach is vigilantly monitored

The second row of sun loungers is located under the shade of trees, it is much cooler there and the midday heat is easier to bear.

The sun beds are in two rows, but there is no feeling of crowding

Beach workers occasionally offer drinks, ice cream and sliced ​​fruit. Prices are slightly higher than in the supermarket. A large coconut is 50 baht, ice cream does not differ in cost, we didn’t buy beer, so I won’t name the cost.

There are almost no merchants. One man walks with rags. I asked for 650 baht for a beach cape, in the end I gave it for 350 baht. After home machine washing, the threads crawled and changed color, I do not recommend buying. Moreover, later I saw the same one in a local shop for 300 baht.

The only merchant on the beach, not annoying at all

In the central part of the beach there is a diving point, here you can also order a boat, boat or yacht for a sea trip, rent a canoe. Especially among tourists, these services were not in demand. Probably expensive, I could not find out the prices. I didn’t see Price, and the representative was constantly absent. There are no jet skis, bananas and cheesecakes on the beach.

She seems to have told everything about the sea and the beach, if I missed something, ask in the comments, I will definitely answer.

View to the left

My observations

Sometimes, swimming in the sea, you experience a slight tingling sensation. You should not be afraid, this is the local plankton invisible to the eye. He is harmless. In addition, this happened only a few times in two weeks.

Be careful, the sun is very strong in Thailand. Even being in the shade all the time, pouring a ton of protective cream +50 on ourselves, we managed to get burned while sitting up to our necks in water for an hour. After that, all two weeks bathed exclusively in T-shirts.

Swimming is most pleasant in the central part of the beach. Despite the civilization surrounding you, there is no crowding and it is quiet, besides, there are sun loungers close to cafes.

There are no toilets on the beach. I have to run to the hotel, they probably have them in the cafe, but I think that they are not very attractive.

I have never seen noisy Chinese tourists on the beach. We were at the hotel, but as a rule, we stopped by for one day before departure.

The main contingent of the beach is Russians and elderly couples from Europe. I didn’t see any youth and “noisy” Russians at all. Mostly mothers with small children, newlyweds and couples of Balzac age.

The beach is busier on weekends. The Thais are coming. By cars and huge buses. They stop on the right side of the beach with tents. That's where the macaroons are pulled up. By Monday, everyone is leaving and it becomes quiet again.

On the weekends, Thais come in whole buses

Tourist infrastructure

Nai Yang is a small fishing village, there are few hotels here, but everything you need for a holiday is there. Of course, compared to densely populated Patong, prices are higher, but if you wish, you can stock up in a supermarket, and buy fruits not near the hotel, but in the market. Yes, and macarons are also present here, even if there are only three of them, but they are.

Where to change money

There are three main places on Nai Yang where you can exchange currency.

1. Exchange office, located just to the right of the entrance to the hotel Nai Yang Beach Resort and Spa 4 *
2. Supermarket next to the exchange office
3. An exchange office located on the first floor of one of the guesthouses, on the main street, five meters from the only pharmacy.

The rates are about the same everywhere, they differ by 5 baht for 100 dollars, so I don’t see the point in looking for where it’s cheaper. The exchange office at the hotel was almost always closed.

Exchange office on the first floor of the guesthouse

We most often changed as needed in the supermarket. There, at the checkout, there are no signs about currency exchange, but there is an inconspicuous A4 sheet with daily changing exchange rates for major currencies.

In March, for 100 dollars there they gave from 3440 baht to 3480 baht. 50-dollar bills were exchanged at the same rate, but bills with a lower denomination are slightly cheaper.

Supermarkets and shops

There are two main grocery supermarkets on Nai Yang.

The cheapest 7-Eleven is located very far from the central part of the beach, at the exit from the village. Go to it for at least 30 minutes along a busy road, there is almost no shade. You can get there by tuk-tuk, the cost bites - 80-100 baht one way, which negates all the savings on small purchases.

In the central part of the beach there is another supermarket worthy of a choice of goods, but it cannot be called cheap. Although you can buy everything you need there.

In the background you can see a supermarket and a currency exchange booth.

To compare prices, here are a few products: 1 liter of milk on the beach - 60 baht, in 7-Eleven - 48 baht, sliced ​​cheese 250g on the beach 140 baht, in a cheap one 100 baht, 1 liter package of mango juice on the beach 60 baht, in 7- Eleven - 50 baht, yogurt on the beach - 30 baht, cheap - 14 baht. The same is true for all other goods.

There are a couple of small supermarkets on the main street, but there is absolutely no choice there.

As for the points with beachwear, there are also few of them, but you can buy a cheap beach set in the form of swimsuits, capes, flip flops, shorts, hats, etc. you can stay undressed. You can easily choose any watercraft for children.

Another shop with beachwear

You can immediately forget about decent stores, there is not one here. For shopping, you need to go to Patong, a taxi with a 4-hour wait costs about 3,000 baht, the journey takes 40 minutes with an average traffic load.

A little to the right of the Nai Yang Beach Resort and Spa 4 *, there is a pleasant shop with high-quality silk rugs, scarves and handmade souvenirs. Everything is very expensive, but the products are at the highest level, it is immediately clear that they are not consumer goods. Weightless silk scarf 700 baht, cashmere, depending on the size from 2500-7000 baht. Two years ago I bought here two silk rugs 1.5m by 1m with an amazingly beautiful pattern, they hang over the beds in the bedrooms and are still pleasing to the eye. The cost then was $ 240 per item.

The only decent store

Silk carpets of decent quality handmade

Some handmade jewelry

And of course souvenirs, also expensive, handmade

Pharmacy

There is only one pharmacy on Nai Yang, it is located on the main street, it is impossible to pass by.

The pharmacy is clearly visible from the road.

Pharmacy on the main street

Great selection, cool inside

Large selection of Aloe creams

Children's goods, I will not say that there are many, but there is a necessary

There are also a lot of toothpaste, snail masks

It's small but has a decent selection. There is a children's section with pacifiers, bottles, diapers and milk formula. All the necessary after-sun creams, both Thai and familiar to our eyes, are also available. All Thai brands, so loved by our tourists - toothpastes, Aloe and snail creams, for rheumatism, hemorrhoids, etc., everything is present, you don’t have to go to Patong for this stuff. I will say more, I managed to buy Atarax there, a neurological drug that I buy at home exclusively by prescription, and at the same price as in Moscow.

Market

Despite the small size of the village, there is a market in Nai Yang. It works three times a week from 14.00 to 19.00 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. And on Saturday it is more. The market is not only for tourists, local residents buy up there, and I did not observe an increase in the cost for us.

The road is tiring

There are almost no shadows on the way

Already on the way, you can feel the rumble of merchants and peculiar smells.

It is located right behind the Proud Phuket Hotel 4 *, a 20-minute walk from the central part of the beach. The road is tiring, the asphalt is hot, there is no shade. Tuk-tuk services will cost 85 baht one way. Moreover, it is problematic to find transport on the way back.

You can’t call the market a huge one, but you can buy the necessary fruits or shrimp. There is a lot of food for sale that is prepared here. We bought fried fish. I don’t know what it’s called, but it’s very tasty, there are few bones. A 25-centimeter fish in the market costs 85 baht, at the tops on the beach the same 130 baht, in a cafe from 500 baht.

This is the fish we bought for dinner, it costs 85 baht one piece

I wonder how the eggs haven't cooked in this heat yet.

Regarding fruits: on the beach one mango costs 50 baht, in the market 50-70 baht costs a kilogram of mango. One pineapple on the beach costs 80 baht, in the market 30 baht. Lime on the market costs 25 baht 0.5 kg. Below is a photo of the counters, many of the prices are visible.

The bananas here are delicious, not at all like the ones we buy at home.

There is a lot of consumer goods sold on the market, but everything is of such poor quality that even our cheapest product from hawkers in the subway is much better. Traders cannot be called pleasant, apparently they are tired of tourists with cameras. Communicate reluctantly, traded rarely.

Where to eat?

Eating in Nai Yang is not a problem until 23.00. Then everything closes, a couple of hours there are several bars where you can get hold of only drinks and small packaged snacks in the form of chips and dried shrimp. Take note of this fact.

Cafe

There are plenty of cafes in the village. All of them are simple, have a beach view and are located along the only road in the central part of the beach. Cafes at expensive hotels have a more decent view, but there are no fashionable restaurants here.

The range of dishes is large, but quite the same type. Thai cuisine, rice and vegetables prevail everywhere, spicy dishes, words pronounced in English “no spices” do not always work. American food is present in the form of french fries, sandwiches and hamburgers. However, bread in Thailand is cooked on rice flour, all rolls are sweet, which is why the same hamburger acquires a specific taste.

Another cafe on the beach. Delicious tom yang soup here

In 50% of the cafes on the beach there is a menu in Russian, where this is not available, you can choose dishes from the pictures that accompany all positions. True, the pictures are not always true. Several times they brought us food, where the usual pasta from the picture suddenly became marble noodles. Therefore, each time the choice of dishes resembled a game of roulette.

Prices vary plus or minus 50-100 baht, depending on the high cost of the dish. In order not to be unfounded, I will give a few figures. Tom yang soup costs 100-150 baht, shrimp 250-350 baht 7-9 pieces, cappuccino - 80-100 baht, coconut - 60-80 baht, rice with chicken 110-180 baht, pancakes with banana 90-130 baht, freshly squeezed mix 90-120 baht. I can’t say about alcohol, we didn’t drink. But thinking that the store is an order of magnitude cheaper.

Once we went to an Indian cafe. Left a lot of money and left hungry. Everything looked very appetizing, but it is absolutely impossible to eat because of the spices, although we asked without pepper.

Indian cafe. Cooked very tasty and appetizing, but the food is so spicy that it is impossible to eat

Lentil soup in an Indian cafe. The only non-spicy dish that could be eaten

Because of the spicy seasonings, they could not even bite the lamb. Indian cafe

To be honest, we are not attached to any cafe. We ate in different ones, including macarons, so it is difficult to recommend something specific. Unless I liked the cafe on the beach, located to the right of the very center where the buildings begin. This is Lee's Pizzeria. There was a delicious cappuccino and shrimp in batter. They do good pizza here too.

The cappuccino at the cafe on the beach was quite decent

The cost of seven shrimp in the dough is 250 baht

macarons

You can really save a lot by eating at the tops. There were only three of them on Nai Yang. The range is the same. They arrived late, they never managed to eat before 11.00.

Roasted with us

In addition to the low cost of dishes, there are two more huge pluses that, in the last week of our vacation, prompted us to completely stop visiting cafes and switch to macros. The first plus is the choice of dishes. They cook in front of you, show all the ingredients, so you don’t have to take a pig in a poke. The second plus is that you can see the entire cooking process, which eliminates the possibility of adding non-fresh products or reheating yesterday's dishes, plus you can clearly see in what sanitary conditions the food is being prepared, which is difficult to peep in a cafe.

The same dishes at makashnitsa are much cheaper than in cafes. For example, shrimp - 7 pcs. - 150 baht, 10 pcs. - 200 baht, 15 pcs. - 300 baht. They are served with vegetables and sauce. See photos below for prices.

The Thais themselves willingly eat at the macaroons, which speaks for itself about the quality of the cooked food.

My Nutrition Conclusions

In fact, requests for service and the surrounding interior during meals are different for everyone. Unfortunately, desires do not always coincide with our wallet, so it is rather difficult to advise something. However, it is quite possible to draw a general picture on this issue by reading the above.

Personally for myself, I made certain conclusions. In my opinion, if the budget is very limited, you should pay attention to the macarons. The dishes are exactly the same as in a cafe, they cook in front of you, the ingredients are taken out of the refrigerator, it’s clear to the eye that everything is fresh, so I didn’t notice any problems with unsanitary conditions. The disadvantage of such food can be considered the lack of tables and chairs, but I think that if you want to save money, you can close your eyes to this fact.

If the funds, albeit small, are still available, then you can sometimes look into the cafe. Especially in the evenings, when after a hot day you want to relax and sit at a cozy table enjoying the sunset.

We did it even easier. Knowing that breakfast was not included in the accommodation, they took coffee, tea, sugar, several loaves of dry sausage and sausage cheese, dry mashed soups and milk porridge from home. We always had breakfast in the room with coffee and sandwiches, then, if there were no excursions, we went to the beach. Somewhere around 12.00 they returned to the room, ate soup with sandwiches, and in the evening went to a cafe or took food from the macaroons.

In the supermarket, we bought only packaged mango juice, milk, butter, cheese (when it ran out) and yogurt. We went to the market twice, they took fruits and fried fish.

In conclusion of this section, I want to say that none of our group had indigestion or other signs of poisoning for all three weeks of such nutrition. We did not get carried away with maniacal rubbing of hands with alcohol wipes, we observed the usual rules of hygiene, as at home.

Massage

What is in abundance in Nai Yang is massage parlors. It seems that there are more masseuses than tourists. Wherever you look, your eyes will surely stumble upon such an institution and bored Thai women, eagerly looking for a client for a massage session.

They would be happy to work, but there are not so many people

I can’t say that they are intrusive, but it’s impossible to pass by without receiving an offer. I didn’t use their services myself, but my girls came off to the fullest, leaving about 200 euros per person for 17 days. They went to the salon on the beach regularly, took a back massage, sometimes legs, sometimes full with a scrub. From their words, everything is at the highest level, they worked conscientiously. And how long the effect will last, time will tell.

I will not list prices. They are about the same everywhere. Below are photos with a price list, where everything is quite informative and understandable.

Bargaining is probably possible and necessary, especially if you take a series of massages, but we personally could not reduce the price. The only bonuses were that sometimes more zones were processed than paid for, and longer in time.

One more observation. If you came for a massage in the morning, the procedure was better. We concluded that they are not so tired yet, and they have more strength in the morning.

WiFi and mobile communications

Mobile communications throughout Phuket are well developed and Nai Yang is no exception. I can only say that you can buy local SIM cards in supermarkets, the choice of tariffs there is small, but it is quite suitable for the purposes of tourists. I won’t say anything about replenishing the balance, I didn’t get SIM cards, I used the Moscow Megafon with the “Around the World” option connected at home. The connection fee is 15 rubles, the daily fee is 9 rubles. The cost of all outgoing and incoming calls is 19 rubles per minute. Not cheap, of course, but without connection, calls from Megafon cost 129 rubles per minute, as you can see, the difference is noticeable.

With the Internet, things are much more complicated. I used WiFi in my room at Nai Yang Beach Resort and Spa 4 *, it was free and of good quality, so there were no problems.

I saw the WiFi icon in many beach cafes, but I never used it, so I don’t have reliable information on this issue. Of course, there is no Internet on the beach, specialized stores where you can buy a modem too.

What to do and what to see?

Nai Yang is not Patong, there are no noisy entertainment venues. And in the full sense of the word - not just no, but absolutely nothing. With the onset of darkness, life stops completely, only rare bars work a little longer.

When choosing this place, you need to understand that guests come here for a quiet relaxing holiday, on a beautiful beach with palm trees and a warm sea without waves.

Close to the island

If such a vacation does not suit you, or even if you expect to get out to hang out at least once every three days, then you should not stop at this beach. Because there are no such establishments here at all, and a trip to the center of Phuket will cost at least 1800 baht one way and will take about an hour one way. And if we assume that it happens at a later time, the cost of a taxi will be even more expensive.

There are no special sights nearby either, apart from a small temple a 30-minute walk away and the glide slope of the local airport.

Walk along the beach to the airport

By the way, one of the attractions of tourists is a walk along the coast towards the airport and a photo session against the backdrop of an airplane landing right above your head. The photos are gorgeous, go there for 20-30 minutes along the coast to the right. Along the way, beautiful views of the entire coastline of Nai Yang Beach open up. Nearby are fishing boats, which also serve as an excellent backdrop for the photo.

The beach opposite the airport is deserted, there are waves here. Even if the sea at first glance seems calm, it is problematic to swim here, it is deep almost immediately, and the waves drag you to the depth, you have to make great efforts to stand on your feet.

Walk to the ruined hotel and wild beach

You can also walk to the left side of the beach, fording a small river that flows into the sea, reach the hotel destroyed by the tsunami in 2004 and a small island not far from it.

River at high tide wade along the melting

It seemed to us that some work was being done in the old hotel, the sounds of construction were heard, although we did not see people there. I hope that someday this hotel will open its doors again for guests. The place is comfortable and very beautiful.

Hotel destroyed by the tsunami

Near the island the bottom is rocky, be careful, there are sea urchins. Those who like to snorkel will like it here, there is life between the stones. When the tide begins, the bottom becomes bare, on the stones you can see small crustaceans, mollusks, shells.

big stones

If you go by sea a little further beyond the cape, a beautiful little wild bay with white sand and smooth large boulders will open up. The landscape of this bay reminded me of the Semilan Islands. Due to the inaccessibility from the shore, there are no people here. True, the bottom is rocky, but it is safe to swim in shoes.

Walk in the park

Shady alleys

Bizarre vegetation around each tree

Age-old trees give coolness

It's nice to walk here

You can take a short walk in the Sirinat park, the walk will take a little time, but you will enjoy it. There are huge coniferous trees, the crowns of which protect from the scorching sun, many paths, beautiful plants. Photos are juicy and rich. In the center of the park there is a river crossing from the L’esprit De Naiyang Beach Resort 4 * hotel. Nothing special, but you can get over to the other side and see the hotel.

Ferry to the hotel

Water activities

For lovers of scuba diving, there is a diving center on the beach. In addition to diving, here you can pay hourly canoeing, a trip on a Thai boat, boat or even a yacht. Order sea fishing or just rent fishing rods.

Divers at work

Excursions

Of course, you can book any tour offered by agencies from Phuket. I saw several excursion points on the main street. However, they are all Thai and in English, there are no representatives of the Russian agencies of Phuket here. But it's still not a problem. I will write more about excursions for Russian tourists in a separate article, here I can offer you a couple of phones.

Phuket Chip Tour – +66 61 683 0202

Treasure Island - 8 800 332 7298, +66 82 535 0011

You can call them on Viber or WhatsApp, choose an excursion, and their representatives will deliver the vouchers directly to the hotel.

You can order and pay for the excursion program from home, in this case you do not have to buy foreign currency, payment is made at the rate of a Thai bank in rubles to the Sberbank card of the agency's leaders. I used this method on all my trips to Thailand, I really managed to save a little.

Actually, this is all the entertainment that is available to tourists in this corner of Phuket. The main occupation here is, of course, a measured beach holiday.

Conclusion

In March, I spent three wonderful weeks on Nai Yang. I swam a lot, visited almost all excursions in Phuket. At the same time, I collected useful information for my readers, some of which I shared in this article.

These unforgettable three weeks finally convinced me that Nai Yang Beach is one of the best places in Phuket for a quiet relaxing beach holiday.

Therefore, when they ask me the question - Which beach to choose in Phuket without noisy parties and waves near the airport? I boldly answer - Nai Yang. It is perfect for relaxing with children and relaxing adults tired of the city bustle and crowding.

Here the nature is beautiful, not crowded, quiet and comfortable. Planes take off majestically into the sky every 10 minutes without making any noise. It has everything you need for a decent stay, so I sincerely recommend visiting this corner of Thailand to everyone who wants a secluded measured rest.

It turned out to be a whole guide, but maybe I forgot to tell you something, leave comments and ask questions, I will be happy to answer everyone. If you need an individual consultation, write to me by mail, I will try to help.

On this I say goodbye to you.

Sincerely, Tatyana Solomatina

It is located very close to the air harbor of the island, about a kilometer to it. Near it are the beaches of Mai Khao (to the north) and. The exact border near the beach is neither administrative nor natural. Just a strip of sand about 2 km long, which is commonly called Nai Yang Beach. Despite its proximity to, this place is one of the most calm and authentic on the island and the least affected by civilization. In addition to excellent ecology, there is nothing else there - neither, nor large, no noisy markets, and even bars with affordable girls. Once on Nai Yang, he finds himself surrounded by tropical greenery, under his feet he has soft warm sand, and in front of him is the endless Andaman Sea with clear azure waters. Life on the beach completely freezes immediately after sunset, almost the entire coast is plunged into darkness, dissipated only where a dozen hotels are located.

North side of the beach

The north side of Nai Yang Beach in Phuket is rarely visited by tourists. This place is chosen by the natives and revered by them as a place for family vacations. The bathing of the little ones is greatly facilitated by a very gentle entrance to the sea - several tens of meters, everything is knee-deep. In the evenings and on weekends, whole family clans rest there. The strip of sand is not wide - no more than a dozen meters. Immediately behind it begins a lawn - green grass and a small tropical forest, where you can find the desired shade. Sunbeds and umbrellas in this part of the beach are completely absent.

There are hotels in this part of the beach, but they are located behind the road, which is about a hundred meters from the coast. All of them are of the so-called bungalow type. During the day, beach visitors are served by several peddlers offering chicken stew with rice and fruit.

Immediately after sunset, it becomes completely dark, there is no street lighting here. If you want to take a walk at night, then by all means take a flashlight. And mainly for scaring away snakes that go hunting at night. For the same purpose, discard good manners and shuffle your feet as loudly as possible.

beach center

In the center, Nai Yang Beach is fairly well settled. It is here that most of the hotels are built, there are several small shops, restaurants, bars and tour desks. Well, traditional massage parlors, of course. By the way, there you will also find a taxi rank, from where you can go not only to the airport, but also to any part of the island, including.

It also offers excursions (read more about) to the main attractions of the island - to the Ban Pe waterfall, Wat Chalong or. And also to the Phuket Night Market. If you agree with the bombers, then you can go outside the island - to, to the islands or. But it will be more expensive than from the main bus station of the island, from where minivans leave on the indicated routes. For example, officials will deliver you to Lanta for about 250 baht, and to Krabi for 150 baht.

The center of the beach differs little from the rest of the tourist places on the coast of Phuket. The road passes from it only fifty meters. Vacationers are provided with sunbeds (free of charge), which are here in four rows. There are offers of water activities, among which I would especially like to mention the rental of kayak boats. You will not find this even on where, it would seem, all the whims of tourists are gratified.

There are not too many idle people in this part of the beach even in the high season, and with the onset of the calendar summer and rains, it is almost deserted. The coastal highway is practically empty throughout the day, with occasional motorbikes passing by. At night, this part of the beach is also almost deserted.

South side of the beach

Nai Yang Beach in Phuket is really a sparsely populated part of the coast, which is especially noticeable in its southern part. Asphalt has not yet been laid to this point. The access road is an ordinary gravel primer, as in our province. Outwardly, the southern part is indistinguishable from the northern one, only the Thais do not visit it. There is no one there all day, you can feel like Robinson and Friday.

At the same time, the landscape is really beautiful - a lot of tropical trees and some nameless stream flowing into the sea. Although the place is slowly being mastered. On the other side of the river, about two hundred meters from it, the Imperial Adamas Beach Hotel was built. But there are still very few tourists there. So if you and you are looking for privacy, then Nai Yang Beach is the best choice!

Things to do

What to do at Nai Yang Beach? The Nai Yang place in Phuket itself is rather boring and not creative. Therefore, if you want to have access to a lot of interesting places (and they are not so far away), you better have transport. At least . Then most of the natural attractions of the island will be available to you, of which I would especially like to mention Bangpe - the largest waterfall on it (read more about the most beautiful). As well as a couple of interesting temple complexes - Wat Phra Nang Sang and Wat Prathong. And, of course, located near the airport, on Mai Khao Beach.

Shopaholics will be able to satisfy their passion at, which takes about 20 minutes by taxi. There is the largest concentration of large stores of various kinds. Stay there until the evening, and you can go to nightclubs. The largest - the Festival Center - is located in, which is a little less than an hour away.

Right on the spot you can contact the school of kiting or surfing. Canoes are available for rent on the beach. On the northern part, it is possible to visit the coral reef, for this you will need a mask with a snorkel and fins. For lovers of pampering, we advise you to go to or to the spa. The Slate Hotel offers a whole program for healthy lifestyle lovers: yoga, aqua aerobics, tennis. There are even sections of Thai boxing and karate. Well, the most active can walk or ride a bike around the area.

Three days a week - Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday - there is a spontaneous market between the Mongkol Wararan Temple and the Dewa Phuket Hotel. It opens in the afternoon and stays open until sunset. They offer fruits, souvenirs and every little thing. You can satisfy your bodily hunger at, where rice and chicken are the most common dish.

Hotels

Hotels on Nai Yang Beach are located mainly in the middle part. Among a dozen proposals I would like to mention The Slate, Nai Yang Beach Resort, Dewa Phuket. They are located on the opposite side of the coastal highway from the water's edge, which is deserted for most of the day. Guests are offered two beach mattresses and an umbrella for free, and guests - for 200 baht per day. You can choose the most suitable hotel on the sites hotellook.ru or roomguru.ru. And you can see the best of them in the selection below.

This stretch of Phuket's coastline is the least dangerous during the rainy season. There are no high waves and rip currents. This is because it is protected from the elements by a coral reef located at a distance of half a kilometer from it. The most gentle entry into the water is in the north, in the south the depth is greater. There are places where stones are exposed during low tide. Such a site, for example, is near the Imperial Adamas Beach Resort.

How to get there

So, how to get to Nai Yang Beach? There is only one way - on, neither, nor minivans go that way. The average cost of a trip is 300 baht.

From the island capital towards Nai Yang there are buses (flight to the airport). Departure from the old bus station, the fare is about 100 baht. You need to get off at the Nai Yang sign, then catch a tuk-tuk. Get ready to wait, they go quite rarely. The best transfer option is to stop at the Tesco Lotus market in Thalang village, which is located halfway between Nai Yang and Heroine Monument. Next to it there is a songteo parking lot.

If you are driving from the south on your own, then choose the Thep Krasattri highway, from which you need to turn off at the 14th kilometer towards highway 4026. It will bring you to the goal.

Nai Yang Beach Resort & Spa Phuket 4 * is located in a quiet bay in the northern part of Phuket in Thailand.

A calm sea, a secluded beach, a lot of shade from the trees - this is how you can describe the first impression of a holiday here.

An interesting interior, three swimming pools with fountains, hearty breakfasts and friendliness of the staff are just a small part of what seasoned tourists admire. Nai Yang Beach Resort is ideal for families with children, which is facilitated by a good location near the coast and a landscaped area with lots of greenery for outdoor walks.

Rooms

1 of 12

Despite the fact that the last overhaul was carried out more than ten years ago, the hotel looks interesting and modern. When booking, you can choose one of five types of rooms, which differ in the level of comfort, view from the window (on the garden or pool) and the number of beds. Each room has its own terrace where you can relax in comfortable armchairs, drink coffee and admire the surroundings.

In the room itself you can find everything you need for a carefree holiday: a large refrigerator, air conditioning, an electric kettle, a safe, a hairdryer, shower accessories. Updated furniture: comfortable king size beds, desk, wardrobe, sofa by the window. The bathroom has a shower (a bathtub is only available in the suite), a toilet, a bidet and a mirror. All plumbing is in working condition, there are no problems with hot water and drain.

On the territory and in the rooms there is access to a Wi-Fi network (password and login are indicated on the key card).

Every day, plain bottled water, tea / coffee bags are delivered to each person. If desired, you can use the mini-bar. Before checking in, they require you to leave a deposit of $ 100, which will be returned if the rest passes without incident.

Nutrition

1 of 6

On the territory of the hotel you can find two restaurants overlooking the sea: one is a buffet (Turtle Bay), the other is a la carte (The Sands). Depending on the voucher, meals can be different (HB, BB, FB, RO), only breakfasts (BB) are more common, but full board (FB) can also be offered.

At breakfast they offer a large selection of local fruits, cereals (with milk / water), soups (with chicken / seafood), pastries, eggs (boiled / fried) packaged juices. The menu is also great for younger children as there is always a choice between Thai and European cuisine. All food is prepared simply, without an abundance of local ingredients.

Delivery of food and drinks is available around the clock (payment at prices from the menu). There is a poolside bar serving both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

Near the hotel there is a local market where you can taste street food snacks, sliced ​​fruits and various cocktails.

Staff

According to the reviews of tourists for 2019, the employees are very friendly and always ready to make contact. Attitude towards vacationers is like in a five-star hotel. Communication with staff is possible in Thai and English. The activity of the reception was noted - all problems are solved promptly, check-in takes place without delay, luggage is helped to carry to the floor. There were cases when the administrator went forward and populated earlier than the allotted time. If this is not possible, employees will do everything to brighten up the wait.

Upon check-in, they bring a compliment in the form of a plate of fruit. Little guests are also not left without attention, and they give a small local souvenir.

Cleaning and change of bed linen takes place every day, but some tourists complain about the constant dirt (they don’t dust well, they don’t wash the plumbing). Three sets of clean towels are provided per person per day. The minibar, tea/coffee bags, bottled water and shower amenities are replenished daily.

Entertainment and animation

1 of 3

In Nai Yang there is no rich animated program, children's parties and noisy parties. This place will allow you to enjoy a calm, measured rest without intrusive music and crowds of tipsy tourists.

From entertainment, relaxation is offered at one of the three pools, where there are sun loungers, umbrellas and a bar. Fans of SPA treatments can enjoy the sauna, Thai massage, body wraps. Next to the main pool there is a small children's pool where the child can spend time with peers at a safe depth. Within a few kilometers there are golf courses, the Splash Jungle Water Park and the Casaurine National Park.

Immediately outside the territory of the hotel complex there is a coast that will bring a lot of positive emotions to beach lovers. There are many private points along the beach where they offer rental of water accessories, excursions, diving lessons, photo / video services (given on a flash drive).

Beach

The cleanest coast of Nai-Yang Beach and the hotel building are separated by several meters. The road to the coast passes in the shade of sprawling trees, which allows you to hide from the aggressive Thai sun.

A distinctive feature of the local beach is the calm sea. There are no big waves in this area, it rarely storms, there are practically no dangerous living creatures like jellyfish and plankton.

Due to the calm, the water in the sea is almost always blue, clear and warm, which is ideal for bathing children. It is possible to rent sun loungers and umbrellas for an additional fee.

There is not a large flow of tourists on the beach, as there are only a few hotels along the coast. Tourists celebrate a truly azure coast - white sand, blue water, clear skies. Many come back because of the beach holiday.

Location and surroundings

The resort complex is not located in the busiest area of ​​Phuket. The active tourist life of Thailand begins to boil only at a distance of several kilometers. Not far from the coast there is a local market, which is thoroughly saturated with Thai flavor. There you can buy souvenirs, clothes, oils, etc.

Nai Yang Beach is a calm and cozy beach in Phuket. You can find it somewhere in the northwestern part of the island. This beach is not very big. Its length barely reaches 3 km. The sand under your feet is like golden grains of sand, and the water sparkles with azure tones.

Description of the beach

This place is suitable for those who love silence and loneliness - there are few tourists. And in the summer, for a whole hour of walking along the beach, you can meet no one at all. The most populated part of the beach is the central one, there are mini markets, massage parlors, restaurants, bars and tour desks on the only street along the beach.

Entry into the water, depth and waves

The entrance to the water is relatively fast, the depth increases after 10 meters, provided that today there is no serious low tide. During the monsoons, there are no strong waves in Nai Yang Bay, the coral reef protects the shallow water from the elements. The entrance to the sea here is very gentle and sometimes the water leaves for tens of meters from the shore. In a strong ebb, you can generally forget about swimming, you won’t reach the depth. Also on the southernmost part near the small island is full of stones.

Sun beds and shade

The northern and southern parts of the beach are almost completely deserted, but you can sit on the sand under the shade of trees. On the shore there are sunbeds with umbrellas. In the southern part, there is generally a casuarina forest.

Infrastructure

Water activities include kayaking and kite surfing. Wat Nai Yang temple is located in the vicinity of the beach, and for nature lovers there is a great opportunity to walk through the mangrove forests of the park. Like many other small beaches, Nai Yang is a refuge from civilization, the hustle and bustle of the city.

In the immediate surroundings there are no shopping centers, no market squares, no business buildings, let alone nightlife centers. You can have a bite to eat in local coastal cafes or restaurants at hotels. As the sun goes down, life stops here, and the beach becomes gloomy and abandoned.

Only where the hotels are located is there any movement. There are few hotels on the beach and they are all close to the coast. There are affordable bamboo bungalows. As I wrote above, the whole civilization is located in the central part: cafes, massage parlors, a couple of minimarkets, currency exchangers.

If you need 7/11, then you need to go to the neighboring highway, from the central part it is about 15-20 minutes. Around the same place there is a Thai market, working on weekends. Well, very close in 5-10 minutes drive is Phuket airport.

Houses and hotels on the beach

Be sure to check for discounts or special offers on an excellent service. It will quickly and easily show you discounts in all existing booking systems. In the same Asia, for example, there are a lot of offers on Agoda.com, which are much more profitable than in the same hotels in the Booking.com system.

If you want to book a hotel here in advance or look for accommodation on other beaches, I have a good rating and reviews.

How to find the beach

If you still decide to go there, then first you will be in for a surprise. Only taxis go from there, no other public transport goes there. Of course, if you have your own vehicle, then there are no special problems. You need to follow the signs and get on the Thep Krasat Tri highway. From there turn onto highway 402 leading to the beach.

Life hack #1 - how to buy good insurance

Choosing insurance is now unrealistically difficult, so to help all travelers. To do this, I constantly monitor forums, study insurance contracts and use insurance myself.
