Popular Post outsider Posted March 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2018 Without a shadow of doubt Thailand does have quite a few really beautiful beaches, but Phuket? I really cannot imagine how any of the beaches in Phuket can be in the Top 50 (never mind Top 25) beaches... (pause Jeremy Clarkson-style)... in the world! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geisha Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 The Philippines have the best beaches for me so far. Though I’m going to French Polynesia and the Cook Islands next October so I’m hoping to see the best beaches and scenery. Thailand could have beautiful beaches if they weren’t so dirty with foul water. They weren’t always like that ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobobo Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 So banning smoking and cigarette butts didn't really help? I knew it wouldn't. Suggest Thai authorities look for blame closer to home and leave farangs alone for a change! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khun Ed Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Totally ridiculous! Who voted - people who have never left England? I would call it more of a broad brown sand bank next to a cauldron of brown ice water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEE TEE Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I can believe it. Chaweng beach is covered inTar i saw myself the ferries dumping used oil into the sea coming back from donsak. although the sea looks great on a sunny day i have not been in for over 2 years rather use a swimming pool . many now are cleaning their feet and the tar is even in the resort toilets someone was scraping it of with a knife as it was left in the sink . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronaldo0 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Not been to the first two beaches but have been to place in third. Cuba has the cleanest beaches with the clearest water I have ever seen .

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted March 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2018 I think it could have made the top 9,000 list, if someone was paid a sufficient amount to get them on the list. Want to talk about really spectacular beaches? There are so many spots with amazing beaches. Not sure if I have ever seen one in Thailand, that would make the top 500. Tikehau Island, French Polynesia. Can't decide whether you want white- or pink-sand beaches? ... Dreamland Beach, Bali. ... Bathsheba Beach, Barbados. ... Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. ... Horseshoe Bay, Bermuda. ... Harbour Island, Bahamas. ... Blue Beach (La Chiva), Vieques, Puerto Rico. ... Trunk Bay, St. John, USVI. Maipio Valley Beach, Big Island, Hawaii Parrot Cay, Turks and Caicos Lindquist Beach, St. Thomas Palm Beach, Aruba Honopu Beach, Kauai, Hawaii 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
