Hello everyone
Following their zipline escapade, the children rehydrated and indulged in juicy watermelons provided by the thoughtful staff. Energized and refreshed, our next destination was Ao Yon Beach, a hidden gem not far from the Phuket Tarzan Adventure Park, just a short 10-minute drive away.
Ao Yon welcomed us with its quaint charm. It was a small beach, nestled away from the bustling tourist spots, creating a serene atmosphere. The calmness of the beach and the scarcity of tourists added to its allure. At the forefront of Ao Yon Beach, two recently built hotels stood, a testament to the growing appeal of this quiet coastal haven.
Arriving at Ao Yon Beach, my first order of business was finding a parking spot. Fortunately, luck was on my side, and I spotted an open space nestled under the cool shade of a large tree, providing a perfect refuge for my car. With the vehicle safely parked, the eager children wasted no time gearing up for a swim, excitement radiating from their every move.
While I appreciate the allure of the beach, particularly Ao Yon's serene charm, I'm not particularly fond of swimming in scorching weather. The relentless sun tends to darken my skin quickly, so I opted to seek out a comfortable spot to rest instead. As I strolled towards the back of the car, contemplating where to settle, something caught my eye.
Gazing into the water, I discovered a mesmerizing sight – a multitude of small fish gracefully darting about in large numbers. The crystal-clear waters of Ao Yon revealed this aquatic spectacle, a hidden treasure just beneath the surface. The vibrant dance of the tiny fish added an unexpected layer of enchantment to my beachside retreat.
Captivated by the mesmerizing sight of the bustling schools of fish gracefully moving beneath the clear waters, I decided to explore more of Ao Yon Beach. Crossing a bridge led me to the other side of the beach, a terrain that unfolded into a picturesque scene of mountains and large stone slabs. The atmosphere on this side was markedly different, offering a serene escape.
The rocky expanse created a natural setting with plenty of character. Large stone slabs scattered across the landscape provided inviting spaces for a picnic or a leisurely rest. The presence of numerous shade trees added to the allure, creating pockets of tranquility where one could lie down and listen to the rhythmic melody of the waves.
The juxtaposition of the mountainous backdrop, the sturdy stone formations, and the shade-providing trees painted a tranquil scene. It was a perfect setting for those seeking a quiet retreat, away from the bustling beachfront. The gentle rustling of leaves, the soothing sound of waves, and the distant laughter of beachgoers blended into a harmonious symphony, inviting visitors to unwind and embrace the natural beauty of this hidden corner of Ao Yon Beach.
Exploring the surroundings of Ao Yon Beach, it was impossible to ignore the presence of numerous luxury hotels strategically positioned as close to the beach as possible. The convenience for guests was evident, allowing them to seamlessly transition from the hotel to the sandy shores with a mere stroll. Yet, my contemplation of the landscape led me to a somber realization.
While the proximity of hotels to the beach offered convenience, my concern shifted towards the impact on the natural beauty of the area. It seemed that the desire for luxury accommodations had resulted in structures overshadowing the coastal charm of Ao Yon. The juxtaposition of opulent hotels against the backdrop of this serene beach raised questions about the preservation of the environment.
In particular, my gaze shifted to a high mountain in the vicinity, where the allure of nature was being compromised by towering hotel structures. From my perspective, this seemed to be a significant encroachment on the delicate ecosystem. I couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment, thinking that building hotels on such elevated terrain might be the most damaging to the pristine nature that surrounded Ao Yon.
As thoughts swirled about the potential environmental impact, a disheartening suspicion lingered – the possibility of corruption among Thai officials. The notion that kickbacks might have influenced the decision to allow these hotels to be built on the high mountain was a disconcerting realization. It highlighted the unfortunate reality that, at times, the beauty of nature is compromised for personal gain, and the very officials entrusted with its protection may fall prey to such temptations. Ao Yon Beach, with its juxtaposition of luxury and nature, became a poignant reflection of the delicate balance between progress and preservation.
Reflecting on the changes observed at Ao Yon Beach over the past two years, a sense of hope emerged for increased environmental awareness. The beauty of the beach, with its sailing yachts and untouched allure, remained intact. However, the landscape had witnessed the emergence of new hotels, prompting a call for heightened attention from the government and relevant civil servants.
The serene atmosphere and the untouched charm of Ao Yon Beach were qualities I cherished, appreciating the quietude that enveloped the surroundings. While waiting for the grandchildren to frolic in the water, I took a moment to absorb the tranquility of the beach. It was a respite from the hustle and bustle, a sanctuary where the only new additions were the hotels that, hopefully, would coexist harmoniously with nature.
As the children concluded their water adventures before sunset, a practical consideration came into play – the impending traffic congestion after dark. Anticipating potential challenges on the journey home, we opted to depart before nightfall, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable ride back. The decision to leave before dark spoke to the practicalities of navigating through potential heavy traffic, underscoring the delicate balance between enjoying the natural wonders and acknowledging the realities of urban congestion.
In the midst of this evolving landscape, my hope echoed the sentiment that the untouched beauty of Ao Yon Beach would endure, and that environmental considerations would guide future developments. It was a serene retreat that held the promise of both tranquility and responsible progress.
