Kata Beach is a one kilometer long stretch of golden white sand and crystal blue ocean. The waves are gentle and the air is warm and relaxing. It is no surprise that Kata Beach is also one of the more crowded spots. There are many foreigners, as well as Thais, who come here to relax. While most foreigners prefer to lie in the sun, some join the Thais in the shade provided by the trees on the border of the beach. Drinks of choice are available, as is ice cream. Long Tail boats are also offered for trips to nearby islands. As always, chairs and parasols can be rented.

Accommodation, dining and entertainment of all kinds is available at Kata beach. Combine this with the near-perfect beach and your stay in Phuket couldn’t get much better.

The white sandy beach is clean and rather quiet, nestled in a small bay with striking views. Except for the exclusive Phuket Yacht Club complex, Nai Harn is not as developed as other south coast beaches. This is due in part to the Samnak Song Nai Han, a monastic center in the middle of the beach that claims most of the beachfront land. This beach has a reputation of being dangerous during the monsoon season but it really varies according to daily weather changes. Watch for the warning flags and use some common sense. A number of food venders here offer inexpensive but quite tasty food.
