Laem Sing Beach Location
Laem Sing Beach is located on the west coast of Phuket and can be found half way in between Surin Beach and Kamala Beach. If you are driving from Kalama beach along the main road then you will drive along somewhat of a cliff / hill where you will see a sign for Laem Sing Beach. You should park your car or motorbike there and then walk down one of two paths which will lead you down the hill to Laem Sing Beach. The paths to Laem Sing Beach can be somewhat steep and some people will have problems walking up back to the main road afterwards so you should be in somewhat of a good shape. It can be hard finding any form of public transport at Laem Sing Beach and if you are planning to take a Tuk Tuk back to your Phuket resort area then you could have to wait some time before one passes by. The Phuket guide therefore recommends for you to rent a motorbike or car or make a deal with a Tuk Tuk or taxi to pick you up at a specific time.
