Location Information:
Kata Beach remains one of the most
enduringly popular beaches on the
beautiful Thai island of Phuket,
retaining a quieter and more relaxed
feel than the nearby Patong. Popular
with tourists and backpackers alike,
Kata Beach is a great place to
unwind, relax on the white sandy
beach and sample some of the very
reasonable priced Thai food from the
many local street vendors. Whether
considering it as a venue for future
travels, or just revisiting the
scene of a favourite previous trip,
the Kata beach webcam will bring a
little ray of sunshine into your
office or living room.
One of
the most popular tourist areas on
Phuket is Patong Beach on the
central western coast, perhaps owing
to the easy access to its wide and
long beach. Most of Phuket's
nightlife and its cheap shopping is
located in Patong, and the area has
become increasingly developed.
Patong means "the forest filled with
banana leaves" in Thai. Other
popular beaches are located south of
Patong. In a counterclockwise
direction these include Karon Beach,
Kata Beach, Kata Noi Beach, and
around the southern tip of the
island, Nai Harn Beach and Rawai. To
the north of Patong are Kamala
Beach, Surin Beach and Bang Tao
Beach.
These
areas are generally much less
developed than Patong, and sought
out by individuals, families and
other groups with a preference for
more relaxed and less crowded
environs than Patong. There are many
islands to the southeast, including
Bon Island, just a short boat trip
away. There are several coral
islands to the south of Phuket, the
Similan Islands lie to the north
west, and Phi Phi Islands to the
south east. Islanders engage in a
lively tourist trade, catering to
snorkellers and scuba divers.
