Stage 6: Patong Beach - SK-11 Gym

Stage 6 continues south from Patong — around 12.4 km, starting at the Patong Beach Sign and finishing at SK-11 Gym, above Freedom Beach. This is the most demanding stage so far, with about 404 m of ascent and several steep stretches. From Patong we head over to Paradise Beach, then back up to Muen-Ngern Road, and continue a little further to finish at SK-11 Gym. There's a lot of up and down along the way, so a good level of fitness helps and it's best to pace yourself throughout.

​

A Walk Around Phuket is my personal walk around the whole coastline of the island — 233 km in 21 stages — to bring people together and raise awareness and funds for the children of the island who need it the most.

​

Anyone who'd like to walk alongside me is very welcome to come along. You don't need to be an athlete or walk all 233 km — just come for the morning and walk a stretch of coast.

​

👣 Please bring your own water, a hat, sunscreen, and proper walking or hiking shoes — no flip-flops, please, as this is a demanding stage with several steep stretches. Make sure you're fit to walk in the heat; a good level of fitness really helps.
🚗 As always when we're on the road, we'll take care to stay safe: high-visibility safety vests, walking in single file, keeping to the side, and facing the traffic. Being visible and predictable is the most important thing.
⏱️ I'll set off at 7:00 am sharp and walk at my own steady pace. If you arrive later, you're welcome to catch up or start behind me — no problem either way.
🚗 It's a point-to-point walk, so please plan your own way back from the finish. The WhatsApp group is a good place to arrange a carpool.
