Things to do in Ko Mai Thon

Karon Beach is one of Phuket’s longest beaches, the star attraction at the popular town of Karon. Discover abundant opportunities for recreation and entertainment, try watersports, sample local delicacies at night markets and visit temples.

More of a fishing village than a nightclub hotspot, Kamala Beach is characterized by its long stretches of empty sand surrounded by lush forested hills and a chilled-out atmosphere.

Patong Beach is a 1.8-mile (3-kilometer) long crescent-shaped strip of white sand enveloped by jungle-clad hills and perfect azure waters. In a destination famous for its spectacular stretches of coastline, this is among the most popular and vibrant in Phuket. Spend a day dabbling in watersports, watch glorious sunsets, sample authentic street food and shop for souvenirs.

Bangla Road is a beachside avenue that comes alive at night with neon lights, a street market and lively clubs. It is recognizable by its iconic Patong Beach sign. Listen to the big tunes and disco anthems, as you stroll down this busy street after sunset.

Kata Noi – meaning Kata “small” Beach – is a world away from many of the larger tourist beaches on busy Phuket Island. About half a mile (800 meters) south of Kata, Kata Noi stretches between two headlands at the end of a dead-end street. The beach itself is half a mile (800 meters) long and, on some days, almost deserted. Said to be one of the prettiest beaches in Phuket, it benefits from being on the road to nowhere, and for this, those in search of utter peace can be thankful.

At Nai Harn Beach there are no large resorts lining the sand, only local restaurants and the occasional massage hut. There are no loud nightclubs, few shops and very little in the way of man-made attractions. There is clean, white sand, warm, clear water, jungle-covered hills, a freshwater lagoon and authentic Thai cuisine. This is the perfect village for those who want to experience local culture without the crowds.
