Beaches of Thailand - Surin, Phuket

Having just spent Easter in Phuket, here is another Thai beach - Surin. Located on the west coast of Phuket, Surin is much quieter than beaches such as Patong or Karon. Although now visited by many tourists, Surin is very popular with the locals. This shot is of the quieter northern end of the beach. In the rainy season the beach is unsuitable for swimming as there is a vicious undertow which accounts for several unsuspecting tourists (who ignore the warning flags) every year. There are many restaurants lining the beach road and it is a great place to sunset watch.
