Beach Kamala

Kamala Beach is a very nice spot in the west of Phuket and by many labeled as one of the best beaches of Phuket. Kamala Beach is located between Surin Beach and Patong Beach. The beach is frequented by people who do not like extreme crowds like on Patong but still want something to do. Those looking for a beach where you can chill out will feel like a fish in Kamala’s sea water. Especially right in front of the beach where the nice catering establishments have been built is a good place to be! These catering establishments plus those on Kamala’s promenade offer all forms of relaxation for a great vacation! The coast of Kamala was hit hard during the 2004 Christmas Eve tsunami. Before the monstrous wave hit Thailand, Kamala was a small and quiet fishing village whose population was mostly Muslim. The area was often skipped by visitors to Phuket because it was not on a major road and at the time there was little to do at all. After the tsunami and especially with the arrival of Phuket’s popular attraction FantaSea, Kamala suddenly became much better known.
