Description of "Surin"
Of course, Patong is considered the most popular, especially among young people. There are all the possibilities for entertainment. In Patong you can find a hotel for every taste and wealth.
In contrast, Surin Beach (Phuket) is a place where it is difficult to find cheap hotels. Located on the west coast, it is more suitable for high-income people. This is a fairly calm resort area, somewhat reminiscent of a small coastal village. Tourists are waiting for the purest white sand, which looks especially impressive against the background of the turquoise sea water. Surin Beach (Phuket), the photo of which is presented below, judging by the reviews, is very cozy. In the season from April to November there is a fairly strong surf, so because of the strong waves, few swim.

Benefits
The beach "Surin" has a length of a little less than a kilometer. Impressive stones are set in the water along its borders. It is quite wide, although in high season the beach, densely lined with sunbeds and umbrellas, does not seem spacious. The ebbs and flows in this part of the coast are not as pronounced as, for example, in the neighboring Bang Tao. Here the water does not go several tens of meters. Another advantage of Surin is sand. Depending on the illumination, its color changes from yellow to snow-white. Water in the sea is transparent azure. There is practically no silt. The combination of white sand, the emerald sea and bright umbrellas with frills fluttering in the wind, judging by the reviews, creates a kind of festive atmosphere.
Minuses
