Reader question: What is the current state of affairs regarding beach chairs on Patong Beach?
Dear readers,
We have booked 3 weeks in February and would still like to use a beach chair and parasol. We are not twenty anymore. Is your own chair and parasol allowed or not?
You hear so many conflicting reports, even the consulate in Amsterdam refers you to the local authorities.
Please the latest update.
Thanks and regards,
Albert
With ever-changing rules in this area, advice from the consulate is correct. Upon arrival at Patong Beach, ask for the rules that apply on this day.
Hi
we are here now. There are mats and umbrellas, but not chairs. You can possibly borrow from bo's beach bar, a Dutch bar on the beach. Even more fun is to take a boat to freedom beach (about 15 minutes by boat) or a tuk-tuk to paradise beach, almost next to paton beach. Here are just beach chairs and umbrellas. Take bread with you at freedom beach, the fish will eat it right out of your hands. Happy Holidays!
We have rented a room in hotel Baan Laimai for three weeks and so stay on Phuket Beach.
Having to sail visa versa for 15 minutes every day while there is a beach in front of your door will be pricey, I think.
We have been cruising for the last 8 years, but for the 10 years before that we have had 3 to 4 weeks in Jan/Feb each year. rented a room on the 10th at the Patong Beach hotel.
So we will clearly see what has changed for the better or for the worse and it may well be the last time we stay on Phuket.
In any case, the messages I read are not very positive.
Maybe I'll take one of those small lightweight camping chairs and parasols with me and give them to newcomers when I leave.
At my last stay there were umbrellas and beds, but no beach chairs. Beach boys had made a kind of lounger in sand on which a bed lay
Let's just be clear now! There are no beach beds and no umbrellas.
Just on a self-bought beach chair with twenty people under 4 palm trees.
Make sure that your beach chair is not confiscated.
You can go by boat to some other beaches where there are beach beds, such as freedom beach.
That was our experience last year and it is still the same according to friends of ours.
We are going to Pattaya this year, but the same thing is happening there now.
Gerrit: no, incorrect! Beach chairs, beach beds and umbrellas are still available for rent in Pattaya and Jomtien. Organized less and more strictly, but otherwise open every day, except on Wednesdays, then the beach is closed, at least the chair operators are obliged to close.
There are still no beach chairs or umbrellas, so bring your own or borrow them from Bo Beach bar if you come there as a guest, he lends them to customers
