With much less development and a more relaxed atmosphere, Kamala Beach is a great destination for those seeking tranquility without having to sacrifice all the conveniences needed for a comfortable stay.
There are several interesting alternatives to a day at the beach in Kamala:
The Phuket Fantasea show features hundreds of brilliant performers as well as animals. They put on an entertaining program that will keep the interest of spectators of all ages. The show begins at 8:30 p.m. and includes trapeze artists and dancers. FantaSea opens earlier in the day, at 5 p.m., and visitors can check out a theme park, large buffet, and shopping opportunities among many other options. This is one of the biggest entertainment sites in the Phuket area and it’s suitable for both adults and children. Phuket FantaSea is open every day except Thursday.

Wat Baan Kamala is located right on the beachfront and is a significant spiritual site of the local Buddhists. This temple has beautiful architecture and artwork, including numerous pictures and statues that tell stories of the Buddha’s life and journey. Although all visitors are welcome, it’s important to remember that this isn’t just a tourist site and one should dress and behave with respect. The gardens are lovely and you can visit any day of the year.
Food and numerous other goods – clothing, electronics, jewelry, crafts, and more – fill the stalls at Kamala’s local market. It’s a fascinating place to explore and you never know what unique items you will find while browsing. Come to the Friday market at Kamala Beach for great street food and some potentially great bargains on all kinds of new, handmade, and second hand items.
