 Kata
Beach (20 & 17 km from town) Beautiful
Kata is a scenic gem, its clear water flanked
by hills, and picturesque Bu island sits offshore.
Kata retains a village feel at its northern and
southern ends and is perhaps more family-oriented,
its beach more peaceful than Patong Karon Beach
(20 & 17 km from town) The second largest
of Phuket's tourist beaches. Large resort complexes
line the road behind of the shoreline, but the
long, broad beach itself has no development. The
sand is very white, and squeaks audibly when walked
upon. The southern point has a fine coral reef
stretching toward Kata and Bu Island.

This
Beach is the most developed, most vibrant, most
visited beach of Phuket that never fails to impress
visitors. Located approximately 15 kilometers
from the city, the beach has a wide range of accommodations
and shopping arcades, and provides magnificent
leisure activities and energetic night-time entertainment.
It is a picture perfect postcard view of a 3-kilometer
long white sandy beach that is perfect for swimming,
lazing, and enjoying challenging water sports
such as jet skiing, windsurfing snorkeling, sailing,
and parasailing. 
Bangtao
is a large open bay with one of Phuket's longest
beaches. It was once used for tin mining, but
has since been developed into a luxury resort.
Most of it is occupied by the Laguna complex,
a massive five-hotel development with golf course.
There are, however, accommodations available outside
Laguna at the bay's south end. 
Literally
translate as “Brahma’s Cape”, Laem Phromthep is
perhaps one of Phuket’s most important landmarks.
There is a saying that you haven’t been to Phuket
unless you visit Laem Phromthep. It is here that
visitors soak up the sun and savor the breathtaking
panoramic view of the Andaman Sea from the island’s
southern-most tip. The Cape is crowded especially
in the evening, as it is a popular observation
point at sunset. Laem Phromthep is located approximately
2 kilometers from Rawai Beach. 
The
most famous observation point of the 3 beaches,
Kata Not, Kata and Karon, is located on
the road half-way between Nai Harn Beach
and Kata Noi Beach. From this spot, an intriguing
view of the 3 beaches and Ko Pu has constantly
impresses visitors. 
Phuket
City is a fascinating city that can be explored
on foot or by traditional means of transportation,
tuk-tuk or . Sino-Portuguese architecture that
is evident in the city’s shop houses provides

in strolling along the city, start the trip at
the central post office and walk west along Thalang
Road, then turn south at the Standard Chartered
Bank building and walk towards Yaowarat Road.
Continue the trip to Fountain Circle, then head
west to Ranong Road and proceed to Patipat Road,
