I lived at Kata Beach because it has better body and board surfing waves. And that little island just off the beach, called Ko Bpoo or Crab Island, is so picturesque. For families, Kamala is better.

Been living at Koh Phuket for about 6 years. Stayed in Kata,Karon,Kamala,Kathy,and Rawai. Been to more or less all big beaches on the island. Favourite beach nr 1 is definitely Nail Harn beach in Rawai. Nr 2, is Bang Tao beach Nr 3 and 4 Surin beach,and Kamala beach. The rest I would not bother to go back to! What annoys me the most ,is that the waste water, is lead directly out on the beaches,or in tubes that releases the waste water ca 50 meter from the beaches. been diving,and snorkeling at all beaches,and have sen this with my own eyes.i do not recommend a bath in Patong beach,which is the most polluted! NAI Harn beach is the cleanest, with a living coral reef,that you can explore from a small beach called So san beach!🙏

Something different from your normal Vlog indeed but cover plenty of info and important facts… I love it… you not doing a comparison but more to what we can expect when we here or even before coming to have an understanding what the location offer.

Great tourist video, thanks.

Good vlog if you are talking about high season only, but you don't specify, as the seasons make or break a beach. Low season you can easily walk on either of those beaches and hardly see many people or umberellas. And everything is a little cheaper as well. It all depends on what you want from a beach. We always go in low season, and love the empty beaches, and you can still get great days, just the ocean is a little murkier and the rips a little more dangerous

Both are nice.I stayed in Kamala the 1st time i visited Phuket in 2007,stayed in Patong the following year and stayed in Kata in 2015. Kata has been my favourite area of Phuket and i'm going back to Phuket and staying in Kata again with my GF) later in the year. I'm planning on going back to Phuket again in the middle of next year (with my GF & her Grand Daughter) and we were talking about staying in Patong,but I might suggest we stay in Kamala instead.

Great video Tony! Agree 💯. Kamala seems to have the better beach side restaurants, but I'm still partial to Kata for the scuba diving 😅

I honestly rarely comment on anything on KZfaq, and I watch a TON of vlogs before going on trips. I really like the way you broke down the concepts by each beach (sands, restaurants, activities, accommodations, etc.). The overhead shots are nice, as are the ones of you walking down the beach - very easy to get a true sense of what's going on. If I were to give a few points of feedback, since I think you've got something really good here: Timestamps would be beneficial for the viewer, as would I think some transition slides/images when you move from concept to concept, to help the viewer. Also, I think in-video links, tying me into other videos you've made would be great too! Liked and Subbed.

Thumbs up 👍 Tony

What is it like on Kamala Beach in April?

I went to Kata in December and my god, it’s just little Russia, now on the face of it that doesn’t bother me, but they were terrible to the locals, so rude, just treated them like dirt on their shoes I’d take Kamala mostly for that reason alone

is it okey weather in june? or rainy

Kata for day trip Kamala home beach

For me it is and always will be Kamala Beach :)

Tony I've been 3 times to Phuket and everytime we stay at Patong beach because we like the night life around it in Bangla Rd. Are there similar places like Bangla Rd at night in Kata or Kamala beaches?

Thanks for the information. And I'm wondering why there're far more surf clubs at kata beach than the others.

Kata is ruined now. over run with arrogant & ignorant Russians. I was there in 2023. Beautiful beach but thats it.Russian tourists/Residents are bad news for the locals with Thai operators being squeezed out. For this reason i would steer clear of Kata frm now on.

Kata is the beach for after life? I dream of many tourist ghosts was there on fulll moon night. Nobody talk to each other.

Nothing relaxing or nice about phuket beaches anymore...might as well visit spanish ones...just as over crowded😮

And what about Nakalay beach ? Nobody speaks about

We're looking to book 3 weeks at kata palm resort, Can anyone recommend this hotel, thanks...

Great presentation. My wife and I are looking at visiting Phuket next year. Is topless sunbathing for women allowed at the hotels there?

those beach chairs ruin the experience, police needs to crack down
