About Kamala 
.

Kamala a former fishing village, sits on a 3 km long bay with a gently sloping beach. There are still a few fishing boats that remind you of days gone

 by which you can still see going out to sea now and then.

The largest entertainment facility in Thailand "the FantaSea" has been built up here and many changes have taken place. In the high season hundreds

of tourists are drawn here.

But nevertheless Kamala is still a holiday place for families. Those looking for the hustle and bustle will have to drive over the hill to Patong.

There are still many return visitors but the number of package tourists is ever increasing.

Kamala can be divided into North, middle and South from a tourist's point of view. In the North you can drive up to the beach. Here there is good

swimming and sunbathing with deck chairs and sun umbrellas.
In the middle is the Kamala Beach Resort. A new tourist hotel which is the only one located directly on the beach. The whole area is more developed

for tourists than the north.
The South is actually Kamala and home to Kamala beach. Here you can find almost everything. Restaurants, travel agencies, car and moped hire,

beauty salons, internet cafes, dressmakers and souvenir shops.

 

                  

 

The season is relatively short here. From November till March. This is somewhat inexplicable because even in the so called "rainy season"

there is some of the most beautiful weather. Some days it rains for only 10-30 minutes and the temperature lingers constantly

between 25°C - 30°C. Very rarely lower.

 

Although there is not a lot of good shopping in Kamala there is a market twice a week. There you can get everything your heart desires. Vegetables, fruit and as many kinds of fish as you can imagine.

In the area surrounding Kamala there are also some places worth visiting. These include Surin Beach and the popular Lamp Sing Beach.

Both bays are good for swimming, relaxing and walking.
