HAT RAWAI AND ITS ISLAND 2008-05-31 10:17:01 The eastern side of Laem Promthep curves round into HAT RAWAI, Phuket’s southernmost beach and the first to be exploited for tourist purposes. Twenty-five years on, the developers have moved to the softer sands of Kata and Karon and returned Rawai to its former inhabitants, A few bungalows still open here, but most visitors come either to eat seafood in one of the open-air seafood restaurants on
HAT NAI HARN AND LAEM PROMTHEP 2008-05-31 10:11:54 Around the next headland south from Kata Noi, HAT NAI HARN -18km Southwest of Phuket town – is generally considered to be one of the loveliest beaches on the Phuket island, given character by a sparkling saltwater lagoon and dominated by the luxurious hotel, the Phuket Yacht Club. Follow the coastal road 2km south and you’ll get to a small bay which has coral reefs very close to the shore,
AO KARON 2008-05-31 09:58:55 20km southwest of Pheket town, AO KARON is only about 5km south from Patong beach, but a lot less congested. With the help of a healthy scattering of café-bars, restaurants and relatively inexpensive guest houses, Ao Karon generally tempts the younger couples and mid-budget backpackers away from its increasingly manic neighbor. Although the central stretch of beach front is dominated by large-cap
AO KATA YAI AND AO KATA NOI 2008-05-31 09:58:37 Peaceful AO KATA YAI is a few minutes drive around the headland from Karon (17km from Phuket town), but both prettier and safer for swimming thanks to the protective rocky promontories at either end. The northern stretch of Kata Yai is completely given over to the unobtrusive buildings, and then it’s a lengthy trek down to the rest of the accommodation at the southern end, where you will find th
THE EAST COAST OF PHUKET ISLAND 2008-05-31 10:25:09 Tin mines and docks take up a lot of Phuket’s east coast, which is thus neither scenic nor swim able. East of Rawai, the sizeable offshore island of Lone Island pretects the broad sweep of Ao Chalong, where many a Chinese fortune was made from the huge quantities of tin mined in the bay. Ao Chalong tapers off eastwards into Laem Panwa, at the tip of which you’ll find the Phuket Aquarium, 10km
THACHATCHAI NATURE TRAIL 2008-05-31 10:21:43 41km north of the Thalang intersection, just 700m south of the Sarasin Bridge exit to the mainland, a sigh east off Highway 402 brings you to the Thachatchai Nature Trail, part of the Sirinath National Park which covers the west-coast beaches of Hat Mai Khao and Hat Nai Yang. Although probably not worth a special trip, the trail does combine nicely with a visit to Hat Mai Khao or Hat Nai Yang –

HAT MAI KHAO BEACH 2008-05-31 10:02:35 Phuket’s northwest coast with the longest and least-visited beach, the 12km Hat Mai Khao Beach, which starts a couple of kilometers north of the airport and 34km north west of Phuket town, and remains almost completely unsullied by any tourist enticements, with to date just a couple of discreet budget accommodations hidden behind a sand bank at the back of the shore. Together with Hat Nai Yang i
PHUKET TOWN 2008-05-31 10:01:59 Thought it has plentiful hotels and restaurants, Phuket Town stands distinct from the tailor-made tourist settlements along the beaches as a place geared primarily towards its residents. Most visitors hang about just long enough to jump on a beach-bound songthaew (local minibus), but you may find yourself returning for a welcome dose of real life; Phuket town has an enjoyably authentic market and
AO BANG TAO 2008-05-31 10:01:42 The 8km long of AO BANG TAO is effectively the private beach of the up-market Laguna Resort, an “integrated resort” comprising five luxury hotels set in extensive landscaped grounds around a series of lagoons. There’s fee transport between the hotels, and for a small fee all Laguna guests can use facilities at any one of the five hotels which include 15 swimming pools, 30 restaurants, severa
AO PATONG 2008-05-31 10:01:25 The most popular and developed of all Phuket’s beaches, AO PATONG 5km south of Ao Kamala and 15km west of Phuket town, 3km long good sand and plenty of shaded by casuarinas and parasols beach. There’re the densest concentration of top hotels, restaurants and bars including the island’s biggest choice of water-sports and diving centers. On the downside, a congestion of high-rise hotels, tour
AO SURIN (AO PANSEA) 2008-05-31 10:01:01 The bay south of Ao Bang Tao, beyond Laem Son cape, favorite haunt of royalty and Hollywood stars is AO SURIN (sometime known as AO PANSEA). Nearly always a peaceful spot, it boasts Phuket’s most indulgent resort, the Amanpuri, part of the super exclusive, Hong Kong-based Aman chain, where luxuries include a personal attendant, a private Thai-style pavilion and unlimited use of the black marble
HAT KAMALA AND LAEM SINGH 2008-05-31 10:00:39 Sandwiched between the beach and the inland Muslim village of Ban Kamala, small of HAT KAMALA, about 200m west of the main Patong-Surin road and 26km northwest of Phuket town. Hat Kamala has an almost Mediterranean ambience and is one of the most appealingly low-key resorts on Phuket, with cheerfully painted houses, no high-rises or big hotels. Aside from the accommodation which is clustered eithe
HAT NAI THON 2008-05-31 10:00:08 Go to south of Hat Nai Yang down is the next bay is HAT NAI THON, small, one of the least commercialized beaches on the Phuket Island. The 500m long gold-sand bay is shaded by casuarinas and surrounded by plantations of coconut, banana, pineapple and rubber trees. There are not too many places to stay at the beach, a few jeeps for hire and a restaurant attach to each hotel. But there’s good snor
HAT NAI YANG 2008-05-31 09:59:46 The long curved sweep of HAT NAI YANG, despite also being part of the Sirinath National Park, 5km south of Hat Mai Khao and 30km north of Phuket town, has become fairly developed, albeit in a relatively low-key way, with around thirty open-air restaurant and small bars set up along the beachfront road and the track that run off it, tour agency, transport rental, mini-markets and internet center. T
NIGHTLIFE AND ENTERTAINMENT ON PATONG BEACH 2008-05-31 09:59:26 There are too much of Patong’s nightlife is packed into the strip of open-air bar-beers along Soi Bangla and the tiny sois that lead off it. The gay entertainment district is mainly concentrated around the network of small sois and dozens of bar beers in front of Paradise Hotel on Thanon Raja Uthit. If you’re looking for something else with your kids in the evening, the recommended place is Ho

AROUND PHUKET ISLAND 2008-05-30 04:39:14 This account of the island starts at the top of Phuket’s most appealing coast and follows an anti-clockwise route around the perimeter, through the chief tourist centers. The west coast boasts a series of long sandy beaches punctuated by shear rocky headlands, unprotected form the monsoons and consequently quite rough and windswept from May to October. Shadowed by the mainland, the east coast is
THONG SALA 2008-06-08 01:58:11 THONG SALA is a port of entrance and little more, where the incoming ferries are met by touts sent to escort travelers to bungalows elsewhere on the Pha Ngan Island. In front of the pier, transportation to the rest of the island (songthaews, jeeps and motorbike taxis) congregates by a dusty row of banks, travelers’ restaurants, supermarkets, scuba-diving outfits and motor bike and jeep rental p
THONG SALA - 2 2008-06-12 10:20:59 In the vicinity of Thong Sala, an easy excursion can be made to the grandiosely termed Than Sadet-Pha Ngan Island National Park, which contains Pang waterfall, Pha Ngan’s biggest drop, and a stunning viewpoint overlooking the south and west of the island. The park lies 4km northeast of Thong Sala off the road to Chaloaklam – if you don’t have a bike, take a Chaloaklam bound songthaew as far
THONG SALA - 3 2008-06-14 08:55:46 On a quiet hillside above Ban Tai, 4km from Thong Sala, Wat Khao Tham holds ten-day meditation retreats most months of the year; the American and Australian teachers emphasize compassion and loving kindness as the basis of mental development. Only forty people can attend each retreat, so it’s best to pre-register; for further information, write to Wat Khao Tham, PO Box 18, Pha Ngan Island, Surat
