My quest to see all the Phuket beaches is soon to be over right?! Today was another one conquered that was somewhat difficult to get into. The road that leads to this little beach is closed off to a resort, but Tia and I breezed right through. Drove up a gravel road and parked under a palm tree beside the local workers. They were digging up wires which I was not quite sure what that was about, but was hoping Tia was not in the way.
No tourists were there. Maybe that’s why they let me in. I probably could have used their beach chairs and pool too and nobody care.
This is the beach that I previously blogged a google satellite photo of. Virlane took me to its neighbor, Laguna Beach, but we couldn’t walk over since the tide was so high. Today I suspected it may be low tide since it was yesterday at Yamu. I was right. It was awesome to wander around to all the different areas. I later sat on the rocks and thought about life for awhile. Still don’t have the answers 🙂
The locals came in with their families equipped with a flat spoon, (similar to a spade but not pointed) a plastic bucket, and a stick. They would dig up a fist sized hole from the sand, then stab the stick down and pull up a slimy thin like fish. I tried to watch closely and take photos, but they gave me the stare down so I walked off. Really couldn’t tell what the heck they were pulling out of the holes. I’m so curious now! I’m on a mission to figure it out because now I know its not crabs they are going after.
Panoramic view of one section.
Just walking around wherever there was land to see how far I could go.
Most of the water areas were shallow, clear water and rippled sand like this.
The weather here is literally unbeatable. The blue skies and cloud coverage that continually reshape and transform. Mystical.
Rocks I sat on for quite some time. Then I wandered around the perimeter and found another grouping of rocks at the edge of the sea.
Forest view that separates Layan with Laguna Beach.
I followed a dirt trail and then I decided to go through this beautiful opening and sit again for a bit. I cannot even tell you how fortunate I feel to have this time to just be with nature here.
View where the waves came crashing in.
The island across the way you could walk to since the water was so shallow.
This tree is all alone on the sand bar. I was able to walk up to the tree but when I tried to cross over to the island the sand sunk too deep beneath my feet and I started to get nervous. Not knowing how deep it would go, then my imagination started getting the best of me wondering what was below all that muck.
Stopped for dinner on my way home and took a selfie with this big eyed painting. I ordered a zucchini flat bread that had black olives and goat cheese on it. They cracked a sunny side up barely cooked egg and placed it in the center. I was horrified but managed to eat around it.
I'm just your average gal figuring out her way through the second half of life that decided to follow a calling to Thailand. Now back in the USA due to covid, seeking nature for further direction.
