Overview

Part Time is a waterfront venue located on the eastern coast of Phuket, specifically in the Ratsada sub-district. Despite the category classification, it functions primarily as a coastal recreational spot rather than a traditional swimming beach or natural pond. It offers proximity to the Phuket deep-sea port area, providing views of maritime traffic and local fishing activity. The site is situated along the shoreline of the Andaman Sea, characterized by industrial and local port infrastructure rather than resort-style sandy beaches. Visitors primarily utilize the area for its seaside atmosphere and casual outdoor seating.

Insider tips

Visit during the late afternoon to observe the movement of cargo ships and local long-tail boats.

Bring insect repellent if visiting during the evening hours due to the proximity of mangroves.

Wear closed-toe footwear if you plan to walk along the rocky or muddy shoreline areas.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to swim here, as the water is near a busy port and is not maintained for recreational swimming.

Etiquette

Casual beach attire is acceptable, but modesty is recommended when moving away from the waterfront into the local village areas.
