Few people, good sand, clean enough 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 I caught a jellyfish, but it was worth it

    Entrance Fee far too high for that but if you come after the opening hours, you can just enter and still enjoy the beautiful sunset in an impressive scenery for free. Also better because the tide will be low in the evening so you can walk around more easily.

    Lets not discuss the price again, we all agree the rates for foreigners is far too high. I have my wife go alone. I can enjoy the beautiful pictures she shoots. Let's hope the government will stop this policy in the future, especially for those who live and work in this country.

    Due to high tide there wasn't anything to see - make sure to go during low tide, if you wanna see the fossils. But seemed to me, that the 200 Baht farang entrance fee is absolutely not worth it, unless you're really into fossils.

    So if you are into fossils, this place is awesome...at low tide. There are millions of fossils embedded into the slabs around the beach. On a side note, it is not worth the 200 baht per person for foreigners. I arrived and they had just closed for business, but I was able to walk in at no charge and explore for about 30 minutes or so. Nice views down there too.

    Not worth it even at low tide. If you must insist in coming, make sure it's during low tide. Otherwise, you'll pay 200 Baht entrance fee for nothing.

    Nice place to visit especially for those who are into history and geology. Make sure to visit during low tide to see the stones, fossils. May need to call and check. To us nothing really WOW, especially the dual entrance fee (foreigners 200thb, Thais 40 thb) is not making sense for nature visit in 21st century, did not really see anything special or extra ordinary. Big parking area and if you are lucky can find a spot under the shed, plenty of shops for souvenirs, snacks and light meals. Toilets available. Found some useful information about other places to visit around in Krabi.

    (Translated by Google) There are 1000 more beautiful beaches in Thailand. Save the money on entry. It's wasted time. As is so often the case in Thailand, foreigners 200 Bath, locals 40. Welcome to Thailand.

    (Translated by Google) The house owner is lovely. Well-mannered, visit this place and if you talk to the landlord you will get a lot of knowledge about Phuket. There is an area for you to take pictures, which is decorated with antiques, and there are also drinks and snacks for you to try. In front of the shop there are souvenir shops and many more. The grandfather who is the owner of the store is also cute, talkative. Try to see.

  • 4/5 Stephen H. 7 years ago on Google
    Nice area of Phuket Town with the oldest Portuguese style buildings. Quaint and cute, there are many little shops and cafes. Sunday night is the night market, streets are packed with food and typical festival fare. This night market is a smaller version of the Chalong Night Market on Saturday nights and a satisfactory alternative if the Chalong market is missed.

  • 1/5 Abz K. 2 years ago on Google
    Waste of time, nothing special there. Charge 200 baht for nothing. They have put up a gate and kiosk to collect money for nothing. Don't bother going there, better stay in Ao Nan beach area. Save your time go elsewhere.
