Tri Trang Beach, Phuket, Thailand

by Jeff

Tri Trang Beach is often referred to as Merlin Beach, as it is the location of the former Merlin Beach Resort.
The resort has since had a name change and is now called the Phuket Marriott Resort and Spa, Merlin Beach.

Tri Trang Beach, or Merlin Beach, is also often confused with Tri Tra Beach, which is just a short walk away.

The reason why a lot of people get these beaches mixed up is that the Tri Trang Beach Resort was located on Tri Tra Beach, or Emerald Beach as it is commonly known as, which overlooks Patong Bay.
