Kata Beach Activities

What to Do in Kata Beach

One of the most popular beaches in Phuket, Kata has the best of both worlds, with swaying palms, white sands and clear water on the beach itself. Inland, you’ll discover a vibrant nightlife, good shopping and many choices of activities, including spa treatment, Thai cooking classes, elephant trekking and more.

Dino Park Mini Golf

Fire-breathing dragons, an active volcano, T-Rex and Brontosaurus replicas and eerie jungle sounds make for an exciting round of mini-golf! Dino Park Mini Golf is great fun for the whole family. The Jurassic-themed restaurant and bar are perfect for a post-game drink or meal. Watch out for the hungry elephant. (Read more about Dino Park & Patong Nightlife Tour...)

Elephant Trekking

The elephant is Thailand’s national symbol and was actively used in the old days in wars, later on becoming an integral part of Thailand’s lucrative logging industry. Nowadays it is a lynchpin in the Thai tourism scene and a ride on the back of a gentle pachyderm is one of life’s pleasanter surprises. So why not head out for a trek through the Phuket hills?

Thai Boxing

During your vacation in Phuket why not try something new in the way of getting and staying fit? Muay Thai, or Thai Boxing is the ideal challenge for those who want to learn a new art. The recommended location in the Kata area is the Phuket Muay Thai Camp located on Patak Road in the hills about one kilometre away from Chalong Circle. Its equipment includes nine heavy bags, three long bags, two speed balls, uppercut stations, abs stations and of course a complete gym, with weight benches, free weights, bar bells and skipping ropes. Phuket Muay Thai also has a complete Thai boxing shop selling shorts, shirts, gloves, along with a training service from daily to weekly to a monthly basis. You’ll be expertly taught and guided not only by members of staff but by fellow students. (Read more about Thai Boxing Show...)

A Day Boat Trip

On Kata Noi Beach you can try kayaking for around 200 baht an hour. Head south towards Nui Beach where the coastline is untouched. Hire a local boat and go snorkeling. There are excellent reefs at the southern end of Kata Beach and also by Poo Island, just offshore. Longtail boats can also be rented for around 600 baht an hour, depending on the number of passengers and your negotiating skills.
Open: Daily
Location: Kata Beach, Kata Noi Beach

Surf

Phuket is notoriously unreliable for the continuity of its surf but that doesn’t put off real enthusiasts and neither has it stopped surfing clubs from forming nor a three-times-a-year surfing competition from being organised. The waves are storm generated so you’re only going to catch the big ones in the more volatile low season from May – October but there are surfable days even in the middle of high season.
