Kata Beach

Kata Beach is one of the best and the most visited beaches in Phuket island. It is located on the west coast of Phuket. The sea is turquoise blue here and the sand is white and from the beach you can see an iconic island standing in the middle of the ocean, making excellent sunset photos. Kata is less crowded than Patong Beach (which is the most popular beach in Phuket) and still offers a great choice of restaurants, shopping, nightlife, and hotels. It has a nice little street with vendors on the weekend selling beach clothing, Thailand spa and beauty products, t shirts as well as freshly made smoothies, pad Thai and grilled chicken or fish. There is a wave house /bar in the south end to practice surfing. Lots of small shops to buy Thailand massage balms and oils. On the beach itself has massage huts , parasailing, banana boat and jet ski rentals. I spent there 5 days, staying at the Sugar Palm Grand Hillside hotel and I didn’t want to leave that place. It was such an amazing holiday in Kata Beach. And if you are traveling to Thailand I highly recommend to spend some days in Kata beach! #awesomepic#café#beautifulsunsets#bestislandtraveltowns#seafoodfeast#beaches

First go to the island for fun and photos, then snorkel🤿 without getting your hair wet for photos; 4. Snorkeling is so much fun, saw various fish🐠, corals, and even turtles. It was said there are three snorkeling sessions, we didn't go into the water the first time without a guide, went down twice, time flies when snorkeling, was a bit scared of water at first, but the life jacket is very safe, got used to it and wasn't afraid anymore. 🦞Banzaan Seafood Market 🔸More cost-effective than Rawai Seafood Market, pick a few types of seafood and ask the seller for a package price, be sure to bargain❗️ If you can't bargain down, ask them to give something for free: bought 1 grouper, 2 big mantis shrimps, 1 Australian lobster, got 2 blue crabs, 2 squids, 4 scallops for free, a total of 2500 Baht; 🔸Seafood market second floor processing, at a stall called 'Guangdong Family', charged 600 Baht processing fee, couldn't bargain down, only got a plate of water spinach for free (be sure to ask for it! saw others getting fried rice) the taste is not bad, but it's very crowded and have to wait more than half an hour for the dishes. 🍴☕️Dining & Coffee Shops 🍜Noodles: Khai Waan Restaurant Tom Yum Goong noodle soup and Thai milk tea are delicious! Have to queue, no Alipay, only cash accepted ☕️Cafe: On the hill Cliff coffee shop, can see Karon Beach from a high place ☕️Cafe: A blanket & a pillow Also a cliff coffee shop, this one is bigger, closer to the sea, even the seats can go all the way to the seaside, the scenery is beautiful but it's very crowded, can see the complete sunset 🌄Promthep Cape Sunset Location: Cape Phrom Thep, follow the crowd to the viewing platform, there is a small path down that leads near the cape

⛰【Attraction Strategy】 📍Detailed address: Kata Beach, Phuket🏖 🚗Transportation Strategy: Take a taxi (It takes about 1.5 to 2 hours from the airport to Kata Beach, costing around 500 Thai Baht with Bolt, and around 700 Thai Baht with Grab. Although Grab is more expensive, the drivers are generally better than those with Bolt, so for a 2-hour drive, it's recommended to spend more for comfort.) 🕙Opening hours: Open all day 💰Ticket price: Free 🌟Highlights: 1⃣️Kata Beach is adjacent to Karon Beach, a 5-minute drive from Karon Beach, and only 15 minutes from Patong Beach. If you take a taxi from the airport via the mountain road, you will also pass by Patong Beach🏖. The beach is 17 kilometers from Phuket Town, and you can get there by minibus in about 40 minutes, with buses running every half hour from 7:00 to 18:00, and the fare is around 20 Thai Baht. 2⃣️The sand at Kata Beach is soft, the water is clear, and the waves are gentle, making it very suitable for swimming and diving. Various activities are available on the beach, or you can rent a lounge chair for the whole day, with rental fees ranging from 50 to 100 Thai Baht. The beach is mostly frequented by Westerners, with few Asian faces, but it is much quieter than Patong Beach, with everyone quietly sunbathing🌞 3⃣️At the southern end of Kata Beach is a bar street, famous for SkaBar and TheAfterBeachBar. Compared to the noisy bars on other beaches, this place is quieter, with drinks that are relatively light in taste, and the background music is more relaxing. Compared to Patong and Karon, the overall dining and shopping prices at Kata Beach are higher. 4⃣️There are vendors on the beach selling food, drinks, and various items, and they are responsible for the cleanliness of the area near their stalls, so the environment at Kata Beach is relatively clean and tidy. There are also many small restaurants, mostly Western-style, but they also offer a variety of local delicacies and fresh seafood, with the style of a seaside town. Around 7 p.m., the vendors close up, and the street returns to being an empty roadway, with the occasional Westerner out for a night run. Looking towards the direction of the Big Buddha on the hilltop, you can also see the Big Buddha. 5⃣️There is an excellent viewpoint (Karon View Point) on the hilltop to the south, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the three bays of Kata Noi, Kata Yai, and Karon Beach on a clear day, which is a famous scene on Phuket postcards. It is also one of the best spots on Phuket Island to watch the sunset. However, the mountain road to the viewpoint is quite rugged, so it is recommended to go by car, about 3.5 kilometers away. Kata Noi and Kata Yai are not connected; there is a street in between, and Kata Noi is quieter. 📌Little Tips: It's better to go to the beach around 5 p.m., when the sun is not so strong, and some people start to look for food, so you can enjoy the baptism of the sea. Around 7 p.m., there are very few people, and after dark, the lights are not usually turned on, so generally, no one goes into the water anymore.

#beachlife Located 7 km from Patong Beach, between Karon and Rawai, Kata Beach is a beautiful bay of white sand and a clear sea, with palm trees that offer shade. I really love Kata Beach. Absolutely one of the best beaches in Phuket. The beach itself is absolutely lovely, one of the better main stream beaches with gental sloping sand & clear waters. Great for swimming and you can actually swim the full length of the bay. It’s busy in places, but it’s really long and you can definitely find a quiet spot. They also rented kayaks and body boards. Lots of small Thai stalls where you can order delicious fruit smoothies and Thai snacks. Laying on the beach watching the amazing view was definitely a moment I will never forget. It's a good beach to chill! It is a place that I would visit again, without a doubt an incredible experience. #thailand #phuket #summer #beach
