Along the picturesque west coast of Thailand’s largest island, Phuket, lies a surfers’ (albeit a beginner surfer) paradise that often goes unnoticed. Despite not being renowned as a world surfing hotspot, Phuket boasts passable surf conditions thanks to its easy accessibility, a multitude of beautiful west-coast beaches, and a favourable exposure to the mighty Indian Ocean. When you peer out westward from Phuket’s famous beaches, you’re looking across thousands of kilometres of Andaman Sea and Indian Ocean, towards India.

 

Beyond its allure as a tourist destination, Phuket stands apart as the only place in the Land of Smiles with a thriving, year-round surf community. The bigger waves will appear in the wet season, from May to November.

 

The real surfing action is concentrated along the west coast, adorned with over 25 enchanting bays and beaches, each adorned with hidden coves and rocky reefs.
