pattayadgw Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Obviously the 'US Survey' have now been given their own lane for fast check in and their own bus/car lane to / from the airports... what a crock of.... !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 American surveys on best beaches invariably name mainly local, Caribbean and Hawaiian beaches. Not sure how they came up with Phuket on this list. To the poster who gave a list of Europe's best, one of them is in Asia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The americans obviously skipped looking at Cancun/Mexico beaches (perhaps they did not make it through the border wall ? ....or the north of the Caymans Islands..... all with deserted pristine golden sand beaches...that beat any beach in Thailand unfortunately.....and no risk of getting busted by some corrupt official falsely accusing a tourist of smoking...

Snow Leopard Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 This is rubbish. Excuse the pun. If someone could correct me if i am wrong please but Phuket is not a beach. It is an Island. Phuket has many beaches. Some nice, Some not so nice. Which one is it? These awards as i understand it are awarded on a beach by beach basis. I think the reporters spent too much time on Bangla Rd.

yellowboat Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Was heading down toward Koh Kong. On the bus I could see untouched beaches before getting to immigration. Couple of years back, Snookie had lovely untouched beaches too. Beaches like many beautiful things are being defiled. It is sad. Is the water clean in Phuket ? If you cannot go in the water, what is the point ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much did they pay to the fairytale tellers impersonating journalists at the US News & World Report, to get places like the Cook Islands off the list?

lovelomsak Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Long Beach on west coast of Vancouver Island is better by a long shot. Beautiful white sand sand as far as the eye can see.

connda Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) The USN&WR reporter must never have set foot in Thailand or any other beach prior to rating then reporting on 'world beaches'. Pristine, world-class beaches in Phuket are a thing of the distant past. There is no way to get this clap-trap by the local expat community without the aid of a plumber's plunger.

WaveHunter Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) I guess everyone participating in this thread isn’t about to fall for this report which is actually just tourism marketing, probably paid for by the Thai Ministry of tourism LOL! I mean, I love the west coast of Phuket but seriously, ALL of the beaches on Phuket, or anywhere in Thailand are 2nd rate at best...unless your criteria is a preference for swimming with sewar run-off, oil slicks, plastic garbage and getting tangled up pieces of polypropylene rope flotsam from fishing boats. My home break in Canggu beats any Thai beach, any day of the week, and twice on Sunday! ? Edited August 7, 2018 by WaveHunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkok Barry Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) Phuket is an island, not a beach. And there must be many hundreds of better beaches than any on the island. Next, we'll be told that Swampy airport is the second best in the world. And the BTS is the second best metro system in the world. Utter nonsense.

The Big Island is known for volcanoes not beaches! The best ones are part of the resorts in the Kona area which are man made. The one natural beach there is the size of a thimble. This report is hopelessly inaccurate. It's either a type of paid infomercial or the travel writers they used have been paid off!
