Beach is located on the west Coast of Phuket. It is the most famous of all the
Phuket beaches and it has the most tourists. Patong has turned from a quiet
fishing village into one of the island's two main cities. Mainly due to the
development of tourism, the Patong Beach has seen a huge increase in the number
of restaurants, pubs and bars, tour and travel agencies. Additionally, a
lifestyle shopping complex, Jungceylon, has opened and offers more
international goods and brands in air-conditioned mall. There are also the
usual endless night markets popping up at sunset along both sides of the beach
road, turning the whole of Patong into one lively market.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Angsana New"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
The well known bay and the about 4 kilometer long beach are often referred to
when tourists are going to Phuket for their holidays. Accommodations range from
budget guest houses to five-star hotels and resorts. Many pubs and bars offer
live music. Motorbike, paragliding and jet-ski rentals are widely available on
the beach.<br />
<br />
Nightlife is centered around Soi Bangla (Bangla Road), but can be found all
around in either shape or form. Both the north and south end of the bay are
however quieter and more family friendly. Patong Beach is ideal for swimming as
well as water-sports. The key to full enjoyment of the place is to pace
yourself, drink lots of water and learn the meaning of 'mai pen rai' - which
translates roughly to 'It doesn't matter' or 'Don't worry, be happy'.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

for swimming from November to April, care should be take in the low season
(May-October) when there can be strong undertows,making swimming dangerous.
Regular bus service to and from Phuket town during daytime. Nai Han is just
south of Kata Noi and north of Promthep Cape, Naiharn is not Phuket's longest
beach, but it borders the most gorgeous lagoon on the island. The middle of the
beach is dominated by the Samnak Song Nai Han monastery, which has obstructed
excessive development and is the reason that the beach is generally less
crowded than other spots on the southern part of the island. A wide variety of
water sports can be enjoyed, but swimmers should be alert for the red flag
which warns of dangerous currents during the monsoon season from May to
October. One can walk to nearby Promthep Cape to observe sunsets, which are
often fiery and spectacular. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

distinction of being the very first tourist beach on Phuket. Years ago, people
from Phuket Town would drive the 17km to Rawai on weekends to while away the
afternoon underneath the beach's casuarina trees rather than risk the (then)
dangerous drive over the hill to Phuket's west coast.Nowadays Rawai is a 'working
beach' and a launching point for day boat excursions out to Phuket's
surrounding islands. Many longtail boats available for hire line its shores,
where you can arrange a trip to Coral Island, Koh Lone or Racha Island,or a
fishing or snorkel trip. The beach is also used as a mooring point for the many
fishermen who live in the area. Rawai is home to the five-star resorts,
Serenity Resort and Mangosteen and quite a few of Phuket's foreign expat
population live in the area, lending a bohemian and laid-back flavour to the
way of life there. Favourite nighttime haunts are Friendship Beach, towards
Chalong, and Rawai's beachfront bars.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

beneath the foothills north of Kamala. Surin is home to Phuket's first golf
course , a nine-hole course laid out more than sixty years ago during the reign
of King Rama VII. It is now largely in disuse except as a park. The steep
incline of the beach, turbulent water, and big waves make Surin a dangerous
place to swim during the rainy season. The beach is mostly frequented by Thais
and the locals on weekends and on the southern end you can find some small
snack and souvenir shops. Beach chairs and umbrellas can be rented there. Surin
is most famous for its breathtaking sunsets. Located at the end of Sri Sunthon
Rd., the road running west from the Two Heroines Monument, 24 km. from Phuket
Town. Accomodations and restaurants are nearby. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

the Khlong Tha Chin, a shallow mangrove swamp, this twenty square kilometer
island is connected by a causeway to the city. Wat Ko Sire, on the hill, has a
large Reclining Buddha and provides fine views of the surroundings. Phuket's
largest settlement of Sea Gypsies, or Chao Ley, are on Ko Sire at Leam Tuk-kae.
Swimming is not present because of the muddy bottom. There are some popular
seafood restaurants on the eastern shore. The westin siray by resort & spa
is located in this area on hill side.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of such an abundance of sandy beaches and clear waters as Phuket. The winding
coastal roads along the west coast of this 540-square-km island offer stunning
views and easy access to some of the world's finest beaches. Whether one wants
to sample the frenetic pace of Patong or find solitude on a remote stretch of
sand in the north, Phuket's beaches have it all for the sun seeker. The monsoon
rains of May-October can bring unpredictable swimming conditions, so heed the
posted flag warnings</span><span style="line-height: 115%;">.</span></span></span></div>

Bang Tao Beach is a large open bay with one of Phukets longest beaches. It was
once used for tin mining, but has since been developed into a luxury resort.
With the luxurious resorts and villas along its six km (four mile) stretch of
beach just a few minutes' away from the town of Cherng Talay, where many
villagers still make their living as their ancestors did - by fishing, farming
and rubber tapping. The northern tip of the beach, so far untouched by
development, is still an area where visitors might find that they have the
beach to themselves. Apart from going to the beach and a few bars and
restaurants there's not much that you need to leave your resort for.</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">Taking up a huge area in the middle of Bangtao beach,Laguna Phuket

is often referred to simply as Coral Island. In addition to the splendid reefs
there are two fine beaches on the north and west. Koh Hey is part of a marine
preserve, but accommodations, restaurants, various water sports and diving are
all available. Boats leave from Rawai and Chalong. Phukets principal boat
anchorage and the islands largest bay. Ao Chalong has a long flat, shallow,
muddy bottom; at ebb tide, waters recede as much as one kilometer. It is very
picturesque but not for swimming. Most visitors to the islands south of Phuket

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The second largest of Phukes principal tourist beaches. Large resort complexes line the road back of the beach, but the beach itself, 3 km long and broad, has no development. Just across a low hill to the north of Kata, the long white beach of Karon stretches magnificently with pines and palms standing tall over the rolling sand-dunes providing a unique scene. It is flourishing side by side with Kata Beach, but is more placid.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The sea water here is clean and the sand is powdery. It is one of the best places for swimming, diving and sunbathing. You can come from Kata to Karon easily by road or by a path along the coast.</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The southern point has a fine coral reef stretching toward Kata and Poo Island. Restaurants, bars, tour companies and other non-hotel businesses are at the north end, near the traffic circle, and at the south, on the little road connecting the back road with the beach road. The narrow road between Kata and Karon has a number of small businesses as well as the Dino Park Mini Golf facility. Karon is the most up-scale of Phuket's beaches. Regular daytime bus service to and from Phuket Town. In the monsoon season it can be dangerous for swimming because of the currents so watch out for the red flags which are put up when it is to dangerous. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The sprawling grounds of Thavorn Palm Beach Resort and the Hilton Phuket Arcadia dominate much of the central part of Karon. Just north of these is Aroona Plaza which houses a range of handicraft shops, good restaurants and cafes, a few bars and a hotel modeled on the Sino-Portuguese architecture of Old Phuket. The wide beachside avenue is ideal for taking an evening stroll and doing some shopping.</span></span></div>

It is not yet developed and thus affords some privacy. The beach itself is a mixture of sand and small rocks. At the back of the beach are accomodations. The waters contain extensive coral reefs which you can reach by foot at low tide (you must wear shoes as some of the rocks are very sharp) The northern part is battled by monsoon winds and from June to September you might have some big waves suitable for surfing. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is just 6 km. north of Patong. Kamala is named after the Muslim fishing village north of Patong. Tourist development on the beach much of which is covered by a Muslim graveyard and a police outpost has been slow in coming. Buffalo herds still come down to the beach to cool off in the afternoon. The beach is beautiful and about 2 km. in length. There are accoomodations ranging from guesthouse to international class, and a number of small Thai restaurants specializing in seafood for the tourist. Kamala is the perfect place to get away from it all and has little to offer in the way of entertainment - for that go across the mountains to Patong. There are no palm trees so shadow is only provided by some beach umbrellas you can rent. The Fantasea Phuket Themepark is located here which offers daily evening shows. Regular bus service to and from Phuket Town during daytime;tuk tuk service available to Patong, 5 km. away on the new road. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Phuket is
a food lover’s paradise. There are plenty of restaurants with various kinds of
food to satisfy all tourists' tastes. Western and Chinese foods are available
in tourist hotels and along some leading beaches, while local food, which is a
fine blend of Thai, Malay and Chinese, can be found everywhere. However, local
food restaurants and shops are available in larger quantity and at lower prices
in Phuket town than at the beaches. Food stalls which sell a wide range of
local food are available everywhere -- along the beach front, on the roadside
or at the markets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

two heroine sisters, Khunying Muk and Khunying Chan, who jointly led the
soldiers and people of Thalang, as Phuket was known formerly, in repelling the
invading Burmese troops after a siege of one month. The titles of Thao Thep
Krasattri and Thao Si Sunthon were bestowed on the sisters by King Rama I and a
statue was erected at a crossroads near the centre of the island in recognition
of the invaluable service they did to the country. Many celebratory events and
activities are organized to commemorate this historical event.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

species of sea turtles which came ashore to lay eggs seasonally around the end
of the year. Although tourists are no longer organized to watch sea turtles
laying eggs at night, when they go diving they can still find some swimming
past them. In order to help preserve these lovely animals, they are bred at the
Phuket Aquarium and when the young sea turtles are mature enough, they are
released into the sea in a ceremony. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

have long marked the occasion by making merit - by offering food to monks and
by releasing caged birds, turtles, and fish. The latter custom had its origins
where villagers would collect fish stranded in the pools left as the ponds and
canals dried up in the searing heat, saving them till Songkran for release into
the river. Not only was this a means of making merit, it served as an effective
conservationist programme. You still see vendors offering these creatures for
release in many parts of Bangkok as well as in rural areas, pyramids of tiny
wooden cages filled with twittering birds, metal tanks swimming with turtles,
eels, and fish. Water is a key element in the festival. Buddha images, both
public and private, are washed with water, while the whole house is given an
especially thorough cleaning. The idea seems to be to start the New Year fresh
and clean both in body and spirit.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

title, Phuket Vegetarian Festival is one of the most popular and most
successful annual celebrations of Thailand. This 9-day event does not have
fixed dates on the Gregorian calendar, but it is always held from the 1st to
the 9th day of the 9th moon according to the Chinese lunar calendar which
usually roughly corresponds to late September to mid-October. This is because
the festival originated from immigrant miners from China in the 19th century.<br />
Phuket residents of Chinese ancestry, and many Thais too, go on a vegetarian
diet and attend ceremonies at local Chinese temples during this period. But to
the tourists and non-participants, the most absorbing part of the long event is
the colourful processions and the remarkable feats performed by possessed
mediums. You won't believe your own eyes when seeing them.</span></div>

Phuket King's Cup Regatta was first held in Phuket in December 1987 in
celebration of the 60th birthday of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Since
then, the Regatta has become an annual affair attracting more and more of the
region's top yacht enthusiasts among hundreds of participants each year. It is
now recognized as a world-class yachting event due to the top standard racing,
the wonderful scenery and sailing conditions.<br />
The best place to view this yachting sectacle is from Phromthep Cape, the
southernmost tip of the island.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

to be once part of the mainland in the form of a cape sticking out into the
Andaman Sea but millions of years later the cape was gradually eroded by
natural forces and finally detached from the main land. The cape was mentioned
in a book written around the year 157 by Claudius Ptolemy, a famous Greek
philosopher, that to travel to Malay Peninsula by ship, the travellers had to
pass a cape known among them as Junk Ceylon. It was located between latitudes 6
N and 8 N which is the present site of Phuket Island. Junk Ceylon was at that
time visited by merchants of several nations including India, Persia, and
Arabia because the island offered a bay that protected its harbour from the
wind and monsoon, making it a good stopover. Moreover, it had plenty of tin ore
deposits that fetched high prices at that time because the mineral was much
wanted by some foreign countries. <br />
<br />
Junk Ceylon was later known among the locals as Thalang, which was also the
name of the main town in the north of the island. In 1785, Thalang town was
besieged by the Burmese troops invading the coastal area but Chan, the widow of
the governor who had just died, and her sister Muk rose to the occasion by
jointly shouldering the successful task of defending the land for over 30 days
until starvation forced the enemy to retreat. Due to their heroic deeds, noble
titles were bestowed on Chan and Muk as Thao Thep Krasattri and Thao Si Sunthon
respectively. In 1966 a monument was erected at Tha Ruea Intersection, 12 km to
the north of Phuket Town in memory of the sisters, who are still highly
respected by Phuket people nowadays. </span></div>

However, 24 years later, the Burmese succeeded in taking Thalang and many
Thalang people fled to Phang-nga and Krabi. In 1825, some of them returned and
re-establish a town on a new location but soon they moved back to their
original site because of its better location for rice farming. This return of
Thalang people did not make their town as important as in the past. Instead,
the area in the south of the island (Phuket town today) grew quickly and became
the centre of tin trade at that time. Known as Phuket, it was elevated to be a
town in 1850. More people immigrated from Thalang and the nearby communities to
Phuket. In 1894, Phuket was promoted to be a monthon (an administrative unit of
that time). An important person who constructed Phuket as a modern city was
Phraya Ratsada, who was appointed to govern Phuket monthon in 1902. His
contributions also included improving the welfare of the locals, and setting up
a network of markets in the countryside. In 1916, Phuket became a province. It
was not until 1967 that Sarasin Bridge was built to connect the main land with
Phuket.<br />
<br />
Though the tin mining industry has played a specially important role in the
economic development of the island province, it has declined especially after
1985 when the price of tin fell by half. The decline has also been due to the
gradual decrease in the deposits after centuries of exploitation. So, Phuket
had to look for a new industry on which to base its future economic
development. Fortunately, its natural beauty was soon discovered and there was
a boom of tourism in 1980's, which has lasted up to the 21st century.<span style="color: black; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><strong>Hired Boats</strong> : A relatively cheap and worthwhile alternative
for groups. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Chalong Bay and Rawai Beach
are the main springboards to the outlying islands. You can hire one of the long
–tail<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>boats owned and run by villagers
or a speed boat run by private operators. Fee varies on duration of trip,
number of passengers, type of boat and service. Speed boats offer more comfort
and amenities such as drinks, fruit, cold towels and diving gear, and so are
good for long trips. Most long-tail boats are not equipped with lift vests or
diving equipment and thus are a lot cheaper and more practical for shorter
rides.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><strong>Ferry Boats</strong> : Ferry Boats run between Phuket and
inhabited outer islands. The small number of boats limit daily trips to only a
few.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Unless you are renting a car , you can get around
easily by minibus, within the downtown area , to the beach or to outer
districts. Some of the satellite islands are served by ferries. Tour operators
provide transports to the major island attractions, but non-group travelers can
also arrange boat trips. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Circle Market, Night Market , Bus station, in front of Robinson Department
Store and at government<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>offices such as
the Provincial Hall, post offices, Phuket Electricit Office, etc. Longer

If you drive, renting a car is probably the most convenient choice as same
areas are not served by bus and waiting for a minibus can take the joy out of
the trip. Renting <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>is easy ; private
rental cars are readily found is every beach area and major rental companies
operate in most resorts. When renting private vehicles from the side of the
road be aware the few of these vehicles have insurance and this can prove
disastrous in the event of an accident. Chauffeured service is available for
those unsure of their driving skils or lacking a valid license. Or you can book
on line here now !</span></div>

over the island and are a popular choice for many tourists. Zipping around with
the breeze in your hair is tempting for amyone but do be careful, the hospitals
here see a never ending stream of foreigners arriving with skin missing from
arms and legs, or sometimes worse. The accident rate on Phuket is one of the
highest in Thailand, with 90% of road accidents involving motocycles!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Note
that Thai law requires the driver to carry a valid license at all times and all
riders to wear helmets – even though most Thais ( including the police ! )
ignore the regulations. Also motocycle lights must be turned on at all times,
including during the daytime! The police occasionally enforce all these laws,
so be ware.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The real
danger in Phuket is this :NONE of the motorcycle rented here have insurance. If
you rent one and cause dam age you will be held fully responsible, with some
greedy on owners charging significantly<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>more than the real cost of the damage. Be extremely cautious!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><strong><span style="color: magenta;">Song – Taews ( Local minibus )</span></strong>: There are few bused
on Phuket and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the main form of transport
from beach to town is the ‘song<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>taew ‘;
a truck converted to carry passengers in the back on two long benches. They are
usually colorful with a sign on front showing where they are going. There
vehicles leave from a set stop by the fresh produce market ( Down Town Market )
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in Phuket Town, reaching every major
beach area on the island. They run approximately every hour but there are on
fixed schedules, and they run when there are sufficient passengers. When
leaving the beach areas to head back to town they usually cruise slowly around
the streets picking up passengers. Song-taews are slow but cheap with the fare
from Phuket town to Patong now set a just 25 THB per person! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The Commissioner of the Thai
Immigration Bureau has announced that a new automated entry system will be
installed at all airports in the country, including Phuket. The system will
allow passengers to enter the country without having to endure long immigration
lines.<br />
<br />
The technology, called “Advance Passenger Processing” system, or “APP”, will be
installed at all international airports in Thailand within two years, Lt Gen
Wiboon Bangphamai told a meeting of Asean immigration chiefs at the Hilton
Hotel Phuket Acadia Resort and Spa yesterday.<br />
<br />
“The APP system will shorten the immigration clearance process. The system will
allow people to just walk through without having to stop to get a stamp [in
their passports] or other details checked,” he said.<br />
<br />
“The APP system is not ready to use at the moment. We still have to settle the
agreement with AoT [Airports of Thailand] about an extra fee that may have to
be charged when the system is in place.”<br />
<br />
“We proposed a fee of 80 baht per passenger, but that was rejected. So we will
offer to make the fee about 40 or 50 baht per passenger,” he added.<br />
<br />
The APP system will also be used to check departing international passengers
bound for Thailand to see if their names are on the Thai Immigration blacklist.
If they happen to be on the blacklist, or are wanted on an outstanding arrest
warrant in Thailand, the person who first notices such details could report
them to local police for possible arrest, he said.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Assistant Commissioner-General of the Royal Thai Police Jate Mongkolhutthi, who
chaired the conference, told the <i>Phuket Gazette</i> that issues discussed by
the international assembly of immigration chiefs included streamlining
immigration procedures, increasing mobility of people in the Asean region,
overseas terrorism and human trafficking.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“It’s not that we don’t already have the system [enabling immigration officials
to perform their tasks effectively]. We do, but what we have is not good
enough,” Lt Gen Jate said.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“The Asean Economic Community (AEC) will take effect in 2015. That means many
more people are expected to travel to and from Thailand. Therefore, it is
necessary for all Asean countries to be able to exchange information with each
other,” he explained.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“We want to develop the system because there will be a lot of people coming to
Thailand. We don’t know who will be coming through our region; that is why we
want to develop a proper system in order to avoid any problems that might
arise.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Our worst fear is that criminals or terrorists will come to conduct activities
or use this region to hide out. Even though there are not that many cases at
the moment, we don't want to take a chance,” Gen Jate said<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
