Sing Beach Place guide

Before the internet, Laem Singh Beach was a hidden gem. Nowadays, tourists flock to this small yet stunning beach. Despite the increase in Phuket tourism, however, the beach is always worth a visit. Its sugar-fine sand and amazing seabed is great for a swim – definitely one of the things to do in Phuket, Thailand if you love the beach. The private, hidden feeling of Singh is due to its being surrounded by dense, thick jungle.

Watersports: You can head up to the northern part of the beach for bodyboarding, swimming and snorkeling. You can also feed the fish some leftover bread from your lunch. Even just a few crumbs can get hundreds of fish surrounding you! Other activities include inflatable rafts and body boards for rent, and if you go during peak season, you will find banana boats, jet skis and waterskis on offer. 

Beach: Get your picture taken with an iguana? Kidding not kidding. Have a deeply relaxing Thai massage!

Theme Park: If you’re traveling with kids, you can check out Oasis Sea World. However, TripGuru is not supportive of swimming and riding with the dolphins, much less watching them do tricks. 

Stay: Laem Singh Beach offers no immediate hotel accommodations, but there are hotel options available at Surin beach. 

When to go: The best time to go is around summertime, or during Thailand’s peak season, which is from December to March. If you desire fewer crowds, try to visit from November to April.

How to get there

• Laem Singh Beach lies between the Surin and Kamala beach. 
  
  
• Look for the two parking lots on top of a hill, and from there follow the signs along the road to get to Laem Singh Beach. 
  
  
• To get to Oasis Sea World from Laem Singh, follow the road for 15 kilometers before making a right turn. You’ll know you’ve gone in the right direction when you see a police station to your right. From there, you can see signs that will direct you towards the dolphin park. Oasis Sea World is open from Monday to Sunday, 9:00am to 5:00pm.
