How to get there
Drive out from Phuket Town along Sakadit Road. At the third traffic
light turn right and then left at the traffic circle. Alternatively,
if you continue on along Sakadit Road take the next turn right and
you will eventually come to the beach road.
Continue on for one kilometer and you will see the beach. However,
access to Panwa Beach (Khao Khat) is not possible until near the
far end where you will see a sign saying 'Bech Bar' (they mean 'Beach
Bar').
You can go down here or at another track some 150 meters
further on but at this one you should park on the main road.
Facilities on the beach
Except the facilities reserved to the guests of the Novotel
Panwa Beach Resort, there are very little facilities on Panwa
Beach (Khao Khat). You can rent a long tail boat to visit Koh Lone just a few minutes
ride across the bay. During high season a small wooden shack sells
few beach accesories.
Beach eats
The Beach Bar does snacks and drinks and, apart from walking
into one of the two hotels on the beach and using their restaurants,
there are only few other small restaurants on the actual strand. However, if you take the road back up the hill towards Phuket for
a few hundred metres you will come to 'Best Food Good View' which
is a wooden rustic Thai restaurant with great views out over Chalong
Bay.
Beach activities
Panwa Beach (Khao Khat) is good for a brisk walk along. It is not
a swimming beach.
Where to stay in Panwa Beach Novotel
Panwa Beach Resort is located right on the beach, along with
a nearby hotel called 'By the Sea'. |
