Calm days in Kamala

Visitors to Phuket often get the wrong idea about the island by staying in the popular tourist hubs of Patong and Karon. Although these areas have their undoubted charms with great nightlife and an assortment of bustling bars and restaurants, I’ve personally become a little tired with their brashness.

So it was a delight to be back at Kamala Beach again and to enjoy a much more laidback atmosphere to the region. No go-go bars or pushy publicans vying for your custom, just a beautiful stretch of sand, calm water and reasonably-prices seafood eateries with lovely ocean views.

Although there are lots of holidaying families on Kamala, there is also a large expat community who shun the more expensive areas for a little peace and quiet. And although the sand may not be the brilliant white of Kata, it certainly is far from spoilt and there is still plenty to occupy visitors with all manner of watersports available.
