Vacation to Phuket, Thailand 2010 (Part 1)

July 2010

Everytime we talk about must see places in Asia, Phuket in Thailand is always in the list. This is because of its beautiful beaches with white sands, wonderful resort accomodations, and of course delicious food.  In addition, a number of various activities can also be found in this island. Phuket is located approximately 862 kilometres south of Bangkok.

Among its popular beaches are the :

Patong is the most famous beach resort on Phuket. With its wide variety of activities and nightlife, Patong is an ideal place to party and play. By night the town has a bustling nightlife which includes literally hundreds of restaurants, beer bars, GoGo Bars and of course discos. The nightlife is centred around Soi Bangla (Bangla Road) however there are quiet parts of town.

The pleasant bay of Kata, just a few minutes south of Karon Beach, entices and charms many visitors with its white sands and clear waters. Very popular with families, Kata is an all round favourite due to its spectacular palm-lined beach, great restaurants, lively but not raucous nightlife and varied accommodation options.

Just north of the lights and noise of Patong lies Kamala Beach, a quieter stretch of sand with more relaxed feel. This well-enclosed bay and fishing village surrounded by forested hills is one of the most beautiful places in Phuket.

There are only two seasons in a year the green season ( May to October) and the hot season (November to April), thus I decided that we visit this wonderful place last 4th of July 2010.  Below are some of the highlights of our vacation in this gorgeous beach.
