Sirinat National Park
The main draw here is aircraft. Phuket International is right next door, so you can sit on the sand and watch planes come in low over the water, which is why plenty of people make the trip at all. The beach itself is small, sandy and clear, with a fishing fleet working offshore and a morning market that sometimes appears on the waterfront. The stretch off to the right gets better reviews than the rest.
Set your expectations low and you'll enjoy it. This isn't a feature-rich park with trails and viewpoints, it's a protected bit of coast with a restaurant and sunbeds for hire. Those sunbeds draw genuine anger in the reviews for the price, so bring a towel or a mat and skip them. Some visitors also report trash along parts of the shoreline. Go early. By midday the small bay fills up.

Reviews from Google
beautiful park on the beach! the trees are amazing. if you get there before 8am or after 4pm you don't have to pay the 200 bhat entrance fee. the beach off to the right is nicer and you can watch the planes land at the airport
it a nice small bay with sandy beach and clear water. It has a restaurant for food, and way over priced sunbeds for rent. Bring your beach towel as rental price for a sunbed are ridiculous, $50 for 1-bed! Also note to come early, due to the small size beach it will quickly get overcrowded by noon.
Giving a one star cause the ticket is a scam and the beach and area all around has so much trash and debris. It's not a park with anything to see or do, it's just blocked from one point to another where they can try and get unknowing tourists to pay a fee. There are ways to enter and you can just go around near the beach. It's says 200 baht for foreigners and 40 baht for locals, but I never saw any locals stop, so it's definitely a quick way to get money. Nothing to see, don't pay, just go around!

Tips for Visiting Activities & Tours
Vet Elephant Sanctuaries
Only visit sanctuaries that prohibit riding, use no chains or bullhooks, and let elephants roam freely. Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai set the standard. If a place offers painting shows or circus tricks, walk away.
Book Popular Activities Online
Booking platforms like GetYourGuide give you instant confirmation and, on many activities, free cancellation — and you can read recent reviews before committing. Compare with local agencies for multi-day trips where negotiation might save more.
Do Outdoor Activities in the Morning
Heat and humidity peak from noon to 3 PM. Schedule jungle treks, cycling tours, and outdoor cooking classes for early morning. Water activities are more flexible since you're in and out of the sea.
