Laem sing (Laem Singh Beach) - one of the many beaches of Phuket, located on the Western shore of the island, between the beaches of Surin and Kamala.
There are names like Laem Singh and Laem Sing. Both names of beach is almost identical, the only difference is one letter "h" which, in Thai is not pronounced. Therefore, we always hear the sound of Laem sing. By the way, the Thais, Phuket, also pronounced as Phuket and Phi Phi, like PI-PI. All this, because of the silent "h".
Laem Singh beach is small and virtually hidden from prying eyes. Located in a small natural Bay, where the beach strip, there are mountains, abundantly covered with tropical forest and palm trees. For this reason, the beach was once considered a quiet and secluded area of Phuket, however, at the present time, Laem Singh beach is quite popular, and in high season, from those who want to relax on the beach no end, but in the low season, guests at the beach a little and it is possible to enjoy peace and privacy.
The Central part of the beach is sandy, and on the South side of the beach there are large boulders on the beach and in the water. The water in the sea is turquoise, the sandy beach is washed by small waves with white foam. In the high season when the beach is crowded, found trash and water in the sea is not so clear, but low, the beach meets all the requirements for a fusion of man and nature.

The access to the beach and Laem Singh paid 100 baht per person. Most of the beaches of Thailand free, but with such a small and remote beaches enterprising Thais make the next rent or buy a piece of land to the beach, lay the track and takes a fee for use of the beach, and for passage through their territory to the beach. Therefore, this beach, all the grounds can be called pay.
