The fishing village Kamala on the west coast of Phuket is one of the lesser developed beaches on the island. It offers the peace and quiet that many travelers are seeking while still featuring all the comfortable and modern facilities one needs for a premium holiday.
There are a few interesting attractions in the village such as Phuket FantaSea theme park, Kamala Temple and the village Friday market.

There's a saying that if you really want to get to know a country, you should visit its local markets. In Thailand that's certainly true; you can soak up a whole lot of local flavour – and eat some too – just by walking around the local market (or ‘talad’ in Thai). Thai fresh markets are cornucopias of colourful fruit and vegetables, prepared snacks & food, chunks of red or green curry, dried foods, unrecognizable merchandise, dodgy CD’s, DVD’s, and computer games and brightly hued T-shirts and jeans, hair accessories, handicrafts, not to mention secondhand shoes, name-brand copies… and all at bargain prices. Anything can happen at a Thai local market. Read More...
A lovely Buddhist temple, Wat Baan Kamala is truly a spiritual centre for the locals and has been there a long time. In spite of this the temple and its gardens look surprisingly new as they were renovated after 2004’s tsunami. Located on the seafront at the southern end of the village, Kamala Temple features a main chapel (or ubosot in Thai), a bell tower and many Buddha images and statues depicting his life. Visitors will enjoy a visit to this charming village temple. Dressing respectfully (no revealing attire) is a must as this is a holy place for many Thais.
Opening Hours: Daily
Location: South of the village on the beachfront
