Ebb and flow, beach
Will there be such phenomena in early November? Travel agencies assure that it will already be the season and the sea will not go anywhere) But somehow I can’t believe it ... We are not going to swim in the pool by definition ...
And one more thing: white sand in Thailand - myth or reality?
Thanks in advance to all who respond!

High and low tides on the sea occur all year round. The travel agency needs to sell the tour. If you don't like high and low tides - you have to go to the lakes, they definitely don't exist there.
There is white sand in Thailand. On islands. On the mainland, no.

By the way, in particular, about Phuket. The whitest sand in the Naithon and Karon area. The rest of the yarns will be darker. The darkest sand in Rawai. Yes, there, in principle, there is nothing to do - no sensible infrastructure, no places for recreation, but a solid Russian village

The travel agencies are wrong, in early November it is not yet the season, it will start later in a month, a month and a half ... Go to Kata and you will have ashy sand!

Ksenka1, Do you recommend people to go when there is nowhere for an apple to fall? In a month and a half? We should go in late November - early December. The weather is good and there are no people.

Waldi, have you ever wondered why then "there is nowhere for the apple to fall"? the concept of season-off-season at the resorts of Western tour operators, of which I am a representative (Sweden), is somewhat different from Russian or Ukrainian ones. Christmas, the flow begins and the prices become different! This is what anyone needs - you want it cheaper and with the weather "how lucky", but you can go more expensive and 100% of the weather! Living in Thailand is one thing, but working with a tourist is another!

Ksenka1, I also work in tourism, just like you. And I gave advice just focusing on the time when the weather is there, and there are no people, and the prices are not at all cosmic. People need the sea, sand, sun, and preferably as few people as possible. Who wants to swarm in the sea of tourists and look for a place on the beach, where, as I already wrote, there is nowhere for an apple to fall? The beginning of December and until the number 15-19 is just the time when meeting the expectations of tourists can be as easy as shelling pears. The same time at the beginning of May, numbers from 1 to 15-17. So, between the high and low seasons, there is a gap when tourists are as happy as possible for relatively little (compared to high season) money.

No need to argue about what is obvious - all this is true, the only question is the PRICE.
We started only with the fact that the travel agency offers a tour in early November as a seasonal one. So this is not so. This is a disastrous season, and if the price is also disastrous, and the client does not mind relaxing for this money, then there is nothing to argue about.

Thanks for answers! When we were just starting to think about a vacation, we just wanted to fly in the middle of December, but it turns out that now it’s only at the beginning of November ... Now we are doubting between Thailand (Phuket) and Mexico ... We just can’t decide. ..
If I understand correctly, then at the right time in Phuket it may rain and the water will not be completely transparent?
And maybe you can recommend some good hotels on the first line? And then we are completely confused ...

In Mexico, early November is also off-season - hurricane time. This is a great choice, but starting from the end of December! I highly recommend the RIU hotel system. And at the beginning of November, can you think about something not so distant, but still warm? Jordan for example? and the Red Sea and Petra can be seen and warm in early November ...

Rested in Cancun last year in November! great time, for 2 weeks once a storm and then before lunch everything calmed down. Riviera Maya is good, but if you like remote vacations, Cancun is a party

Well, we are canceling a trip to Tai for the second time .... The first time we flew to the Dominican Republic. Now Mexico has won, Riviera Maya. And all because of the ebb and flow, the lack of a private beach in most hotels ... Somehow it doesn’t work out with Tai ...

By the way, very vain. Explain, please, why did the ebb and flow so displease you? Why is the sea worse at low tide? Everything has its positive and negative points. What are they for you?

Waldi, that's for the reason that troyn123 wrote about. We swam in Bali only in the pool because of this. And then we go for three nine lands not for this purpose. Well, and municipal beaches... All the same, you want comfort, and not run across the road to wash yourself after salt water... Well, and those hotels that have their own beaches, there is nothing around them... In Mexico: private beaches with white sand, azure sea, all inclusive)

AlanaKiev, in this case, if we are talking about Phuket, let me argue with you. Take, say, Laguna or the Bangtao area. There hotels are on the first line and the shower is ten meters from the beach. And the infrastructure is great. So, perhaps you did not know this, everything is there for a wonderful holiday! And the sea, by the way, does not go to Bangtao for 200 meters. I will say this, I do not know of a single beach in Phuket where the sea would go more than 15-20 meters at low tide. Neither on Karon, nor on Katya, nor on Naiharn, Kamala, Surin, Bangtao, Patong - you will not find this anywhere else. I thought that the tides are generally critical there. But such huge gaps here, fortunately, are not at all.

Well, why argue) I have never been to Tae, only looked at the photos of tourists with bare sand right up to the buoys) Therefore, I got the impression)
Well, if so, then maybe next time we will get to the country of smiles) And what hotels would you recommend? With good infrastructure nearby?

Folks, we are not interested in the very fact of ebb and flow, but the beach and all sorts of "animals", garbage, silt, mud or whatever ??? Answer without show-offs and smart troubles "such as geography must be taught and 2 times a day according to the phases of the moon or the schedule in the elevator. Is it comfortable or not? I want the sea, the beach. The north of Thailand and Cambodia will attach to this, of course!
