I’m planning a trip to Thailand in early 2025 and Phuket is on my list. I’ve heard mixed opinions about the beaches there—some say they are very crowded with tourists, while others mention quieter spots. Can anyone share their recent experience? Are the main beaches like Patong, Kata, and Karon still crowded, or are there times of day/hidden beaches that are less busy? I’d really appreciate tips on where to go if I want a more relaxed beach vibe without too many crowds.”
