Trip Moments Recommendations
#Kata Beach Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Phuket, Thailand: A travel experience that leaves you speechless
Phuket Island·Phuket Province is the only island in Thailand that has been granted provincial status, enjoying a reputation as a pleasant holiday destination. The island has a pure environment, with a total area of 576 square kilometers, and a tropical monsoon climate.
🌲Attraction Information:
November to April each year is the best time to visit Phuket.
🌸Recommended Travel Time:
🎀DAY1: Airport➡Karon Beach
When you come to Phuket, go to the beach to sunbathe! Rent an umbrella and two beach chairs for 200 baht! Then you can take beautiful photos. In the evening, we strolled around the streets near the beach and found a lot of delicious food.
🎀DAY2: Phuket Town ➡Patong Beach·Phuket Island
Patong is more lively, with a bustling bar street. There are also many good shops and delicious snacks.
🎀DAY3: Out to sea
On the third day, we went to Emperor Island and Coral Island, and booked the Silver Soul, the experience was very good! The space on the boat is very large, the tour guide takes good care of people, and the snorkeling coach treats each person very carefully.
🎀DAY4: Return
DAY4 is the return journey, before leaving, we bought a lot of Thai snacks at 711 to take away~ Super reluctant to leave, will definitely come to Thailand again!
✨Travel Tips:
❶ ✈️Preparation before departure: passport, print machine wine order, phone card, UnionPay savings card, carry cash 2000 rmb per person or 10,000 baht per person
❷🌊Going out to sea, it is recommended that everyone prepare a waterproof phone bag in advance, do not buy it in Thailand, bring it from China, the waterproof bag in Thailand is just a plastic bag, completely not waterproof.
❸🏠 Accommodation: We chose to stay near Patong Beach, convenient for travel, and there are many things to eat and play. Very satisfied with the hotel, less than a hundred meters away from the door there are two 711s, the right side of the hotel is the net red small hot pot.
❹🚗Taxi: grab, bolt app, taxi is really cheap, bind payment method in advance at home
🍀Experience Review:
✅Coral Island and Emperor Island: There are many sea projects, many swings for taking pictures, very good, can go together
✅Patong Beach/Karon Beach/Kata Beach: Free, the three are not very far apart, basically strolled together, suitable for taking pictures, looking at the scenery, finding a small shop to have a drink and chat is very comfortable
⭐️Travel Feelings:
It's really suitable for leisurely lying here, waking up naturally to eat a meal, then riding a motorcycle to the beach or a nice coffee shop, swimming for a while, watching the sunset in the evening.

After surfing done, we have walking around the market and have a Padthai! #katabeach #surfing #amazingthailand
Kata is calling
Kata Beach one of the most magical places
on earth!
Beautiful sunrise, magical sunset ❤️
Perfect place to recover emotionally and gain your peace after difficult work, hard studies and break ups.
Running and meditating or just sitting or walking in after sunrise is truly amazing feelings.
Also local people here are very nice and welcoming, talking to them just makes you wanna move here ✨

🇹🇭Phuket Surfing Recommendation 🏄 Must-visit spot for beginners to experience and check-in.
Last time I had a terrible surfing experience in Hainan, but I finally found it back in Phuket this time!!
Seriously speaking, Kata Beach is really suitable for beginners to experience surfing and learn the basics. With a little bit of skiing foundation, I was able to catch waves and do some simple moves on the same day.
In addition, I want to thank my coach, who teaches and encourages me very seriously, and speaks fluent English. Every time we catch waves, he summarizes the experience for me, which is really nice!!
This time we purposely found a surfing club called "Lailang" on the side of Kata.
Surfing experience costs 1800 baht per person for 2 hours (usually the first experience will leave you exhausted, haha).
It's a group class with one coach and four people.
Coach is super handsome, his name is 2.
By the way, there is also a cool photo service. Even if you can't stand up, it's not a problem. Coach 2 has a secret technique to help you stand up in place.
Hahaha! (Showing off handsome photos is no problem)
P.S: Hotel shuttle service available in Badong Katakalun!
Have fun!
Getting There is really easy both by walking and by scooter. there are also plenty of taxis running from patong.
Hotels available across the whole beach
Food & Restaurants available everywhere at all hours.
lots of shops for all gifts and things you need#beachlife

The best beach in Phuket
Kata Beach is a beach on Phuket island in Thailand.
I love staying nearby Kata Beach every time I visit Phuket because it has modern hotels, authentic food and local village vibes as well as the beautiful sandy beach. I’m not big on parties so Kata Beach is my ultimate Phuket destination.
Here is what you should know about Kata Beach.
🚗 Getting there - There are 2 options to get to Kata Beach from Phuket Airport
Option A: take a minivan directly to your hotel which will take about 2 hours and cost 200THB.
Option B: take a taxi 🚕 directly to your hotel, the fixed fare to get to your Kata Beach hotel is 1000THB and it will take 1 hour.
🏨 Hotels - There are a few hotels right on the beach: Club Med, Beyond Resort, The Boathouse Phuket. And many more away from the beach. I personally recommend The Palmery Resort, it’s just 15 minutes walk from the beach and near a 7-Eleven mini mart. The hotel prices vary depending on the season.
🐠 🏄♀️ Attractions - The attractions in Kata Beach vary depending on the season:
Low season (May to September):
1. Surfing. Surf board rental costs 200THB per hour and 1200THB per surf lesson.
2. Boogie boarding. The board rental is at 100THB per 2 hours and you can try to learn on your own.
High Season (November to April):
1. Snorkeling. When the sea is flat it’s great for snorkeling and relaxing in the water.
2. Standup paddling. Standup paddling is fun and you can even paddle to a small island in front of Kata Beach.
Both seasons:
1. Relaxing on the beach seats. Beach seats rental costs 100-200THB.
2. Banana boat riding (500THB per person), parasailing (1500per person), wakeboarding (1500THB per person).
🍲 Food - my favorite Thai food is Chicken Pad Thai, Crab Fried Rice and Tom Yum Soup.
Enjoy your trip to Phuket and have fun 😊

Quaint beach
Similar to and only a short walk from Karon. It's another long, narrow beach suitable for swimming. Beach beds available or lay anywhere. Swimmable sea. Lots of cafe and restaurants around. Very few facilities like shower and toilets.

Kata Beach - Phuket - Thailand
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
Phuket Island has three popular beaches - Patong, Karon and Kata. Kata has a more secluded atmosphere, as well as bright blue water. The high waves on Kata Beach attract many skilled surfers in the afternoon. Everyone here is in great shape!
Kata beach 😍 In my opinion this is the best beach in Phuket! It's not very big, but it's really clean and water is so nice. There are no big waves, so it will be perfect for families with kids! There are also a lots of water activities👍
Cherish Every Sunset
#relax #refresh #renew
Beautiful beach with white sand and clear water! Free sun loungers which we did find very dangerous as they blow around in the beach when windy - one actually fell on us which is not at all good being so rusty. Just the right amount of shops and some great restaurants here! Highly recommend this beach it’s a stunning location!

Phuket has been here many times, this time unlocking the new area: the north.
We stayed close to Mai Khao Beach, and the pedestrians rode their motorcycles to the empty beach of Mai Khao Kao. The waves were very messy and the sea breeze was very charming. You can't swim here, even if you don't dare to go into the water, but when the waves wash ashore and touch your ankles, you will still be excited and happy.
This is a journey without a guide, no attractions, no plans. Someone rode a motorcycle along the road to Phang Nga Bay, passing through Phuket's largest administrative center; someone found a kayak and found an exclusive mangrove along the edge of the lagoon; and we were in a beautiful family. The hotel had a very delicious Thai meal and a sweet ice cream, and then enjoyed a quiet afternoon in the backyard.
Rent a big villa with my friends and have three floors. The first floor pool has a lovely unicorn, and the infinity pool on the top floor gives us an invincible sunset every night.
There are people who have been in love with me for 24 years. I have a girlfriend who accompanied me from the age of 16. I have my most lovely "daughter" and I have to fly for 2 days and only play for 1 day. Come with my good friends, and of course my lover Ke Ke.
This 4 days, no Raiders have no plans to travel freely and freely. We drink wine every night by the pool and chat with the sky. This is the best gathering.
Right, I almost forgot my "the moment" and the next day we went to Kata Beach to surf. In fact, I did not have any hope for surfing in Phuket. In addition, the weather has been very bad and the waves are not good. The result is bright sunshine, blue sky and white clouds, the sea is very clear and blue, and the most important thing is that the waves are very good. I caught the first wave of my life.
If you are in Phuket and want to replace Patong Beach or have no time to visit Phi Phi Island, Kata Beach is a nice little beach. My friend and I stayed at the Amari Hotel in Phuket. We didn't travel to Phi Phi Island on the first day, so the hotel's travel agency suggested going to nearby Kata Beach. Phuket Amari is located near Patong Beach, but we want something more hidden, so we tried Kata Beach. It is a quick 20 minute drive and the beach is more beautiful than Patong Beach.
The three major beaches in Phuket, Thailand Each has its own autumn
Patong beach: there are many people and the beach is poor.
Karon Beach: People are less beautiful, suitable for vacation
Kata Beach: soft sand, gentle waves
which one is your favorite?
You can live in Patong. You can rent a motorcycle at the entrance of the hotel. You can travel around the island and go along the Patong Beach - Karon Beach - Kata Beach - Shenxian Peninsula. Bring your own swimsuit and put it on beforehand to prepare the equipment. Surf under the sea at Kata Beach and play at the beach. Pass the view point before going to the fairy peninsula

Phuket Accommodation Guide, How to Choose from 4 Popular Areas?
Phuket's 4 popular accommodation areas:
⭐ Patong Beach: Phuket's Center | Lively Nightlife | Rich Entertainment Life
A mature tourist gathering place, with a row of hotels along the coastline, which is quite convenient. There are many spa massage shops, restaurants, cabaret shows, Muay Thai performances, and night markets, etc. The commercial atmosphere is very strong, and the beach is average.
⭐ Karon Beach: Surfer's First Choice | Blue Water and White Sand | Long Beach
The coastline is long and is one of the longest beaches in Phuket. The sea is azure and has fine white sandy beaches. There are not many water activities, and the atmosphere is more relaxed. The popular cliff cafes and cliff restaurants are built on the mountains of Karon Beach, where you can overlook the entire long coastline of Karon.
⭐ Kata Beach: Beautiful Sunset | Scenery | Surfing Spot
One of the best spots in Phuket to watch the sunset, with many entertainment options, close to Kata Night Market. Right at the entrance is the smart bus, adjacent to Karon Beach, about a 5-minute drive.
⭐ Phuket Town: Old Town | Michelin Food | Colorful Buildings
Various South Asian style colorful buildings, great for photography! Very suitable for shopping, check-in the same store as in the drama 'In Love'. There are also many Michelin-recommended restaurants in town, you can go to the night market and slowly experience the local culture here.
Follow me for overseas travel tips, let's go see the world together~
Unlock the colorful Phuket Island with a summer self-driving tour
Sunshine, beaches, enchanting sunsets
The summer of Phuket Island🌴 never stops.
Summer is about heading to the islands.
So go to Phuket and give yourself a Thai-style🇹🇭 vacation.
📸Some recommended photo check-in spots
🔸Amari Phuket: An invincible sea view lobby, with a view full of transparent jelly sea. Have an afternoon tea here, and the vacation atmosphere is maxed out
🔸Cliff Cafes: Several cliff cafes or restaurants are basically between Karon and Kata Beach. If you like the forest vibe, you can go to Laem Sai, and there's also the less popular Sentai Le Resort. Although it's a hotel, its restaurant is also on the cliff, with a great view and open to the public
🔸Phuket Old Town: On the east side of Phuket Island, about a 40min drive from the bustling central area of the three major beaches. But the colorful buildings here are very photogenic, and there are many unique shops. Although it's a bit far, it's worth a visit
🚗Transportation: It is recommended to rent a car for self-driving.
Taxis on Phuket Island are expensive and not very convenient, as the attractions are relatively far apart, and some are even on the mountains, making it difficult to hail a cab. I rented a car in advance on 🐬, applied for an international driving permit translation (the little white book), and upon arrival, I simply picked up the car at the airport with the documents, which was very convenient
✨It is recommended to rent for a longer period, as you will stay on the island for many days anyway, and renting a car for the whole trip is cost-effective. The summer promotion offers longer rental periods with more discounts, with a minimum of 40% off
🅿️You can basically park anywhere on the side of the road in Phuket Island, but note:
Do not park where there are red and white lines;
You can only temporarily park where there are yellow and white lines, and the driver needs to stay in the car
🏠Accommodation
If you are not very fond of the hustle and bustle and nightlife, it is not recommended to stay near Patong Beach.
It is recommended to choose Karon or Kata Beach, or the quieter Nai Harn Beach. It's quieter there, and the water will be clearer and more beautiful.

⛰【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.
