About Kata, Phuket

Popular for its breathtaking beaches, the city of Kata is among the prettiest cities in Phuket. Not only has it developed into a major entertainment and tourist destination, but it is also an ideal place for relaxing and rejuvenating.

Whether you are an adventure seeker, a solo traveler, a family on a summer holiday, exploring Kata is sure to leave you feeling happy. 

Main Attractions 

Surf House Phuket is a surfer’s dream come true. The central attraction is a high-pressure wave-generating machine that throws a sheet of water upon a sloping pool. It is also an ideal place for beginners as they can hold on to safety rope; and if they happen to slip, the strong water flow ensures that they don’t fall downwards. 

Kata Noi Beach is popular for its quaint and peaceful vibe. Its soft sands and clear waters create the perfect atmosphere to simply relax and take a break from the bustle of daily life. Some of the popular fun activities at the beach include banana boat rides, parasailing, and jet skiing. Also, the rocks on the southern end of the beach offer excellent snorkeling opportunities and you may also get to see coral reefs and tropical fish.

Kata Night Market is a shopper’s paradise where you can get some great souvenirs and clothes at unbelievable prices. Also, the market has a large food court, a bar and several market stalls. Unlike other night markets, Kata Night market is closed and has passages that make it possible for visitors to enjoy shopping even on a rainy day and explore the entire market without ever getting wet. 

Wat Kitti Sangkharam is one of the oldest temples in Phuket. The temple dates back to 1832 and has an exquisite ordination hall, a magnificent statue of Lord Buddha, a monastery pavilion, monks’ dormitories, and a primary school.
