Getting Around Phuket: Freedom beach

When you are in Phuket, Thailand one of the activities available is a boat trip to a hidden gem – Freedom beach. Patong might be a perfect place for night life, eating out or shopping but many people think that the beach has lost its charm. Waters are not clear anymore, the place is not clean enough, watersports activities are all around, vendors disturb the tourists.
