Tri Trang Beach

Phuket Beach Finder & Directory

Tri Trang Beach, also known as Emerald Beach or Tri Trang Beach 1, is a small little beach 5 km from the centre of the famous buzzing Patong Beach. Tri Trang 1 Beach because there is a Tri Trang 2 Beach on the opposite side of the peninsula it exists on. There can be some confusion because the Marriott – which has a complex on Tri Trang 2 Beach, just calls it “Tri Trang”.

You can find Tri Trang Beach by going to the south end of Phuket and following that road for five minutes until you come down a hill and see the beach on your right side. To clear it up – Tri Trang Beach faces north.

Tri Trang Beach 1 is a very lovely quiet beach to spend a day on. To go into the water we recommend swimming shoes because of the coral debris. Occasionally you will find bride and groom having their pictures taken with the bride in white gown riding an elephant in the sea.
