General Info

Laem Sing Beach:

Farther along the main Kamala road is Laem Sing, another small beach in a beautiful setting with no road access, butwell worth a visit. Access is via a steep tree lined path that has ankle twisting roots and rocks to navigate. Once there, the beach is soft, white and sandy, hemmed in by an arc of palm tree covered rocks. Although this is a popular beach the situation gives a peaceful atmosphere, even though jet skis can be hired and a big banana can be rode. All the usual sunbeds and parasols are for rent. The Thai hut style cafés serve good food and cold drinks under a shady palm tree or two.
Getting There:
Take a Tuk Tuk, Taxi or Motorbike or better still the Bus that leaves from Patong beach road (Thanon Taweewong) at regular times, north passed Kamala towards Surin, and ask the driver to tell you when you're there, and/or follow the signs down to the beach.
What's there for the diver and snorkeller:
Reefs: None.

Scuba Dive Phuket Information - Kamala Beach Resort.

Kamala Town
Kamala is a quiet town north of Patong that was devastated by the 2004 Tsunami and to a certain degree is still recovering.

The fixed population of the area is mostly of the Muslim faith, this can be seen in the dress of the locals and some of the food on offer, but in no other way- everyone is of the usual friendly Thai nature with a welcoming smile and an ' up to you ' attitude.

The dusty main through road is littered with shops, bars and small restaurants, and gives the impression that the town has seen better days and to some extent this

is true, as Kamala has yet to recapture the holidaymakers of the pre-Tsunami days.

Off the main road Kamala is like many Phuket beach resorts and caters to your needs in a quiet can do way that is second to none. Kamala's many bars and restaurants give you a choice of style and flavour from all types of western food to all singing all dancing Thai fusion at a price to suit every pocket.

Kamala Beach:

The beach at Kamala is a palm tree lined expanse of soft white sand that offers the resting diver a relaxing small beach feel, at a big beach. Lots of room to move around and mostly hawker free. If you pick your spot carefully, away from any noise from the inevitable jet skis (if you've read more than one of these reviews you'll know they're my pet hate) Kamala is one of the best beaches on Phuket island.

Getting There:

Take a Tuk Tuk, Taxi or Motorbike to the North of Patong beach (Kalim) over the scenic steep and windy hill road. Or better still the Bus that leaves from Patong beach road (South) at regular times north towards Surin beach and Phuket city.

What's there for the diver and snorkeller:

Reefs: None.
