点评:Anyone giving this beach more than 1 star must not have visited any other beaches before. We were told that Freedom Beach is the most beautiful beach in Phuket. Given we are staying in a nearby hotel, we thought to take the steep bimble down. We did not expect to be charged 100 BHT per person for the paths 'upkeep and maintenance'. The condition of the path is anything but safe and the littering alongside disheartening.
Once we reached the beach after sliding along paths, mud, uneven steps and unsecured rocks we saw stunning clear water and white sand which was spoiled by the amount of rubbish as seen in photos of previous posts.
In terms of being charged for access - based on the crowds of people on the beach those guys at the top must make an absolute fortune, and I mean fortune!
Given the weather turned on us and as we did not fancy the unsafe, steep and slippery climb back to the top we decided to take a 4x4 tuktuk up for 100 BHT pp....possibly the best money spend although I clung onto life as the ride resembled more a roller-coaster ride without the safety belt.
Once we got back to the top we saw tours arriving for this s@#$hole of a beach and I could not help but feeling gratitude for only having spent 200 BHT per person for this experience.
A total and utter rip-off.
By the way, we have been greeted with nothing but kindness and courtesy by Thai people throughout our time here. Until today. The scammers of Freedom Beach were the rudest and most miserable people. Such a shame!
翻译:给这片海滩打一星以上的人,肯定之前没去过其他海滩。我们听说自由海滩是普吉岛最美的海滩。因为我们住在附近的酒店,所以决定沿着陡峭的小路走下去。没想到每人还要收100泰铢的“道路维护费”。这条路的状况极其糟糕,而且沿途垃圾遍地,令人沮丧。
我们一路滑行,踩着泥泞的小路、不平整的台阶和摇摇欲坠的岩石,终于到达了海滩。我们看到了清澈见底的海水和洁白的沙滩,但正如之前帖子里的照片所示,到处都是垃圾,破坏了这片美景。
至于收费——看看海滩上的人山人海,那些收费的人肯定赚翻了,我说的是真的赚翻了!
由于天气突变,加上我们不想再爬那条又陡又滑、不安全的山路返回山顶,我们决定花100泰铢/人搭乘四驱嘟嘟车上去……这或许是我们花得最值的一笔钱,虽然一路颠簸得像坐过山车,没有安全带,我简直要命。
回到山顶后,我们看到一些旅行团也来到了这个破烂不堪的海滩,我不禁庆幸自己只花了200泰铢/人就体验了一把。
简直是彻头彻尾的骗局。
顺便说一句,我们在泰国期间遇到的泰国人都非常友善和礼貌。直到今天。自由海滩的那些骗子真是最粗鲁、最令人厌恶的人。太可惜了!
