The Phuket region

They call it ‘The Pearl of the Andaman’, and Phuket certainly is one of Asia’s loveliest holiday destinations. With it’s stunning west coast beaches, lovely tropical hinterland and excellent tourist infrastructure Phuket takes prime place in the guide books of Thailand. There are plenty of great natural and man-made attractions to see, both on the island in the adjacent coastal area.

Phuket became a part of the Kingdom of Thailand in the 13th century. Its destiny has always been shaped by peoples from all over the world, from Burmese invaders to Dutch traders. Its sheltered position in the Andaman sea made it a perfect stopping point for ships travelling from India to China and the influence of many cultures can be found all over the island.

Throughout its history Phuket has always been associated with ships and sailing and this maritime legacy is still strong today. Phuket is a highly popular port of call for sailors and ships from around the globe, from pleasure yachts to military cruisers. Although the three masted trading ships of yore are gone, they have been replaced by luxury yachts and charter boats, and regattas and boat shows are common occurrences. The stunning waters of the Andaman Sea are Phuket’s most beautiful feature and many of most alluring activities revolve around the water. Whether your interest is Scuba diving, snorkelling, sea kayaking or simply relaxing on the beach you will find Phuket a world class destination for all things aquatic.

The influx of tourists has brought prosperity and wealth to Phuket and it now boasts the highest per capita income of any province in Thailand. The infrastructure and facilities are excellent, offering all of the amenities available in any major destination. From five star hotels and restaurants to cutting edge hospitals and dentists, visitors to Phuket will certainly not be depraved of any of the modern conveniences.

Sun meeting sea in a tropical paradise with a long and diverse history; warm and friendly people with a tradition of welcoming visitors; modern conveniences with the Thai touch; its no wonder why Phuket attracts millions of visitors each year.

As the centuries wore on Phuket became important, not just as a way point, but for its wealth of natural resources such as gems, hides and spices. During the Age of Exploration, the Dutch, Portuguese, English and French all took an interest in the island. Subsequently, the tin mining boom in the 19th and early 20th centuries drew thousands of Chinese labourers to Phuket and they too left an indelible mark on the island’s architecture, culture and government.

Phuket’s diversity is reflected in its beautiful Sino-Portuguese buildings, its many Chinese temples and festivals and by the large Muslim population which co-exists peacefully alongside its Buddhist cousins. This tradition of acceptance and tolerance has helped pave the way towards making Phuket one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. One of the main reasons for this popularity is the warmth and friendliness of the people of Phuket who are known for their open attitude and ready smiles.

The Kamala area

Located north of the infamous Patong beach, Kamala is a quiet community that many visitors find more appealing than its noisy neighbour. At one time, Kamala was just a fishing village, and it has still retained this atmosphere of relaxation along with its unspoiled beach.

A few resorts are clustered up in the headland, offering unparalleled sea views. Meanwhile, behind the beach, many local eateries and bars have sprouted up, providing a good selection for visitors. The beach itself is clean and pretty, despite the development of the area.

Accommodation is mainly in small guesthouses and the night life at Kamala is relatively quiet and low key. Patong beach is only about 10 minutes away for those who prefer some action. Everything is laid on for you at this beach

Kamala is also home to Phuket’s only theme park, Phuket FantaSea. Although many people shy away from visiting a theme park while on holiday, this one is well worth a look. With a cast including 50 elephants, skilled performers and acrobats, and elaborate costumes and pyrotechnics, it provides a good evening out. The park also has a decent buffet along with games and shops to keep you preoccupied before and after the show.

Altogether this beach is a good place to stay if you want to be close to Patong but still be able to get a good night’s sleep when you aren’t out at the bars.

There are, however, two characteristics to Kamala. Firstly, it’s a favourite with the Scandinavian crowd, so don’t be surprised to find Swedish meatballs on the restaurant menus! They’re provide agreeable company, and Kamala has a well behaved atmosphere with quiet friendly pubs. If you want authentic fusion Thai food with nice cold beers or selective wines, or just a good cup a coffee, and in the same time you can email your vacation stories via Wi-Fi Internet at G_one Café.

The beach itself isn’t as long as Patong, but substantial none-the-less and most of it not spoilt by resorts fronting the water. A road runs along part of the southern end of the beach, the middle section has a park and Tsunami memorial and the Northern section is completely wild with casuarina trees. In all Kamala has a pleasant villagey feel contrasting with the commercialism of Patong and Karon.

Phuket is certainly on the international jet set map and has become one of Asia’s most visited destinations. Its international airport receives flights from many Asian cities and selected European airports. The island is also connected to the mainland by a causeway and is easily reachable by bus or car. The rail network, however, passes through Surat Thani province 100kms north and a transfer is needed.

The most convenient gateway to Phuket is the International Airport, located at the Northern end of the island. It receives more than three million passengers a year and is fairly well equipped although a little small to cope with its growing popularity. Flights arrive from Bangkok (17 a day), Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Singapore, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Melbourne and as far away as London.

The airport is a 30 minute drive from Kamala. There are officially sanctioned airport limo services available and conventional taxis can be caught from the far side of the car park (5 minute walk), where a 100 baht levy is charged and the taximeter is used

“Great deal” I was travelling with my boyfriend, another couple and one single friend. The three rooms were clean and well turned out, but the master is much bigger than the other two. This may cause an issue if... more Response: Thank you very much for your review.

“Away from it all” Me and my parents spent a week at the Kamala Regent and found that the accommodation was ideal for a quiet vacation but it still had the main amenities in walking distance close to where we lived. There is also a van that runs at various times during the day to take you down to the beach (check at the information office for times). The apartment was clean and had the main modern conveniences, most importantly a great air conditioning system as it was 30C+ everyday we were there which also meant we used the private rooftop pool a lot even at night! The accommodation is ideal for most tourists especially for those who like the idea of getting away from it all in the evening as it is a great place to relax. One slight negative I would suggest is that it would be nice to have some more chairs on the roof terrace, apart from that it was ideal. Thanks. Response: Thank you very much for your review. To add some chairs was suggested by other guests as well, so we decided to go big and buy plenty of vases with a variety of plants and flowers, and five lazy chairs with small table on top of the two sunbeds with table already there, so I hope next time you will find the roof terrace a great place to spend your day.

“Awesome apartment” We were lucky to be able to rent Jaap's Luxury penthouse in Kamala Beach during our visit to Phuket. We have been living in Phuket on several occasions and I must say that Jaap is one of the nicest landlords I have met. From you place the booking until you leave, he is very attentive and informative about big and small stuff, everything you would like when renting an apartment from a stranger. My wife, daughter and I can highly recommend Jaap as a landlord and not to forget the apartment is awesome and situated in a really nice and calm compound close to Kamala Beach. We will defintely use this place next time we go to Phuket! marts 2013

“Kamala Regent Hoiday” The penthouse was ready when when arrived and the reception staff were helpful. We were all pretty impressed by the complex on arrival. It took about 15 minutes to wander down to the beach where there was plenty of places eat, drink and relax. The Penthouse was really quite and sitting in the pool on the deck at night was a fantastic way to finish another day.

“Beautiful penthouse in a convenient location” We spent 2 weeks in this penthouse in Kamala. It has everything that we hoped for. The rooftop pool and sauna made staying at home enjoyable. The proximity to Kamala beach made walks to the beach and restaurants in the area very easy. Renting a car was the best way to get around, and Kamala is centrally located with easy access the airport and other cities. The penthouse has wifi that worked without fail so I could get some work done while traveling, which was exactly what we were looking for. The kitchen has a everything we needed to cook and eat in, and there are several super markets in walking distance to the resort. Overall it was a great stay, and the process from check-in to check-out worked flawlessly. Jaap, the property owner, was extremely helpful with local information and recommendations on everything from directions, to local activities and food recommendations. Jaap made the whole payment process feel very safe and secure, and answered all of our questions about the rental before we booked. While at the penthouse, Jaap checked in with us to make sure everything was to our satisfaction and was always available by phone and/or email during our entire stay.

“Very relaxing getaway” We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here in July. The private rooftop terrace, pool and sauna make this place feel like a luxury holiday. What a treat it is to have a comfortable place to escape in the evening once the child is asleep! The condo itself is generous with space and very comfortable. Our family was very unlucky with weather for the week we had in Phuket, but this condo was such a blessing as we weren't all either packed into a hotel room or huddled around a restaurant table 24/7. There is a bit of a walk to the beach restaurants, but it's not bad and there is adequate shopping very nearby. We rented a car to get out and about and Kamala prooved to be a prefect central hub for us to start and finish each day.

“Wonderful Penthouse Apt” I had the pleasure of staying in the penthouse during my visit to Phuket. This is a very nice property, and is very well maintained. The rooftop swimming pool and sauna only add to it's elegance. Jaap was very helpful before and during my stay with any questions I had. Maid service was prompt and discreet. They kept the penthouse clean without me ever seeing them. I look forward to staying here anytime I am in Phuket.

“Your own private resort” Wow--a rooftop deck compete with gorgeous views, private pool, bathroom: it was hard to leave the deck except to refill my cold drink! Bedrooms are spacious with plenty of storage. Kitchen is well-equipped complete with full size fridge and washer/dryer enabling you to pack light. The beach, shopping (including a Big C grocery store), restaurants are all within a 10 minute walk. Jaap is wonderful to correspond with and responded to any concerns/questions promptly and satisfactorily. I wish we lived closer so that we could visit annually! Response: Thank you very much for you kind review and I am happy that you had an enjoyable stay. Even if it is not next year, I am looking forward to welcome you again as a guest!

“Great Apartment” I can highly recommend this apartment, we had a most enjoyable stay. The apartment was clean, comfortable, well equipped , with the real bonus of a romantic roof terrace, private pool and gorgeous view....no jostling to find a sun bed by the main pool, we had our own on the roof terrace ! Everything worked well... great aircon ,wifi, lift, tv channels, gym,maid came in twice a week, even a shaded car parking spot, and 24 hour security. Kamala is an established resort with sun beds, bars & restaurants for everyone , and the great bonus of this apartment is its position ... everything is within walking distance...the beach, places to eat,the fabulous local market full of cooked and fresh food, big C and tesco supermarkets Plus for serious shopping Patong is only a short drive away So although I would recommend renting a bike or car to enjoy the beauty of phuket, it is certainly not essential with this apartment. The owner was really helpful throughout the booking process , and is only a phonecall or email away should you require any information or assistance We had a great time, and look forward to returning Response: The roof terrace is indeed a great place to spend a romantic afternoon or night. Please feel welcome to come back, it's a pleasure having you as a guest in the penthouse.

“Luxury affordable accommodation - great place” We arrived not knowing what to expect - you see the photographs and it looks good but usually when you arrive it's run down and the photo's were taken years ago!!! BUT this place was as good as the photo's - no, maybe better. The private rooftop pool was a hit with the kids as was the very large common pool. The wife and I even managed some alone time at the private pool and sauna. The apartment was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Free wi-fi and flat screen televisions as well as a DVD player, not to mention a washing machine. Kamala is a lovely little place and the beach is beautiful - only a short leisurely stroll from the apartment (maybe 8 - 10 minutes). Some great places to eat - Popeyes was probably our favourite. Only a 10 to 15 minute drive to Patong for shopping and nightlife (although Kamala has some nightlife). Phuket is small enough to drive around - we hired a small car and had no problems. It's only 45 minutes to an hour to get anywhere. Response: Thank you very much for the very nice review, I am happy you had a great time and discovered the beauty Phuket has to offer!

“Not as expected” On arrival we opened the door to find 1 person asleep on sofa another watching tv and a third swishing a mop over the floor. They woke the guy up grabbed their flip flops and disappeared. After travelling 26 hours first port of call was the bathroom. First thing I was met with was the seat up and the pan covered in urine a smell of sewage coming from drain, the drainer in the shower was full of hair a dead beetle and tissue,the shower screen door was encrusted with limescale. The bathroom in the master suite was in very similar condition dirty plug holes and toilet pan not cleaned shower door covered in limescale and remnants of shower gel. Now we were disappointed and start to look closely at the rest of apartment. The master bedroom had a brown cover which was stained the under sheet was stained and was not fresh clean cotton sheets these had been used. The single bed was far the worse thing we come upon there was a very crisp White sheet but a funny Mark on pulling bak the sheet there were fecal remains on the mattress protector. The kitchen had spills down the cupboards which had not been wiped the microwave had food and grease inside,the oven was not exactly clean. The stairs leading up to the pool area had another batch of black hair balls. On the terrace there were cigarette ends on the floor and in-between the decking. The bathroom on the terrace was filthy there was again urine and unclean pan. Obviously we contacted the owner who did sound genuinely surprised that we had such issues he offered to pay for dinner whilst the apartment was cleaned again, after explaining just how bad it was we stayed in the Marriott hotel which jaap paid out for. We took loads of pictures and spent a couple of hours trying to send them via emails so he could see exactly what. We had been met with. Although jaap done all he could over the phone to rectify this problem it did not solve the problem that we had to move on our first night spend ages sending pictures moving back following day phone calls to Europe and then day 2 no sheets for single bed as new ones had to bought. Once cleaned the apartment itself is nice the mosque can be tiring with the calls for prayer but then the apartment is in a Muslim village. Overall after the initial problems we did enjoy the apartment. There could be more seating on the terrace currently there are 2 sun beds and there were 4 of us there was no table or chairs on terrace and the pool is nice for a dip but the stairs leading to it do need repairing. Response: Unfortunately the guests staying in the penthouse before this guest checked out too late and left the apartment in a state is has never been before. Our maids had no time to clean the mess they found the apartment in, and did not know what to do once the new guests arrived. Upon receiving the email from our guests I offered a dinner in a nice restaurant to give the maids some time to clean the apartment, but it was soon clear they needed more time for that. I called my guests and offered them a night in the Marriot Hotel nearby, a hotel where I have stayed myself and is up to international standards. I am very sorry for this experience and also felt disappointed that it would be possible that the apartment could be left as such by guests who I liked to offer a genuine nice experience on Phuket. I had never such an experience before. Of course the next guests had nothing to do with that, and it was an even more sorry experience for them. Lesson learned: keep a changeover day between guests checking out and guests checking in, giving the maids the time to prepare the penthouse such as I would expect it myself to find it upon arrival.

“A pleasant stay, very nice facilities, place is new and clean.” At first visit, the staff were friendly and it was hassle free to check in. We were amazed that the apartment was spacious, with 3 bedrooms and 3 toilets. The full size fridge served us well, as well as the washing machine. We were also pleased with the strong wi-fi connection, the upstairs private pool and area. If you want to stay here though, it would be advisable to rent a car. The place on a whole is quiet and nice for chilling out at the pool on the first floor. Finally, the price was very reasonable as well Response: Thank you, I am happy to know that we were able to make your stay pleasant and enjoyable. I hope we can see you again at the penthouse in Kamala Beach!

“Poor on arrival, but decent overall” We had a nice stay, although their was a large issue on arrival: we were not expected and the apartment was unclean. Be aware: the owner lives overseas and has limited control to do anything immediate for this reason. We arrived at 8pm hoping to be able to go straight to the room, relax and go to sleep. We arrived to find a nice and modern complex, but when alerting managers to our arrival, they said they were unaware that we were coming. This was the first bad sign. Nevertheless, they provided us with the key and took us to the room. What we found was disturbing. The room was most definitely not clean. We found what looked like a blood stain on one set of sheets, hair in others, dirty pots and pans in the kitchen and dirty showers. We organised with management to have the cleaners clean the apartment (now at 8.30pm). We had to vacate the apartment for an hour while this was done (in the sweltering heat) and were then asked to pay the 'cleaning fee'. Clearly there were some miscommunication issues (or lack of communication). After this mishap, all went well. The apartment was large, and although new, it did show some signs of wear and tear. The entire complex seemed poorly built. The roof area was a nice feature but the pool stairs were dangerous and falling apart (see above). The furniture in the apartment was nice, modern and comfortable as were the beds. The satellite TV had a good selection and the main pool was large and clean. Security was good and the managers were nice and responsive, although english was limited. The beach was a decent 5 to 10 minute walk away, although the village was pleasant (poverty/cultural differences was nonetheless evident). Kamala beach itself is very nice, quiet, although busy, and had a good selection of beachfront restaurants. A 7/11 was just around the corner but had limited food for cooking. We recommend that if you want any groceries you go to the supermarket in the main shopping centre (Jungceylon). Overall, we recommend the Kamala Beach area, although staying closer to the beach and in a hotel might be a better option if the owner is based overseas. Response: The issue of my guest being unexpected is sadly enough true and not enough excuses can be made. I received an email with complaints the following day, and was possibly even more shocked by it than my guest himself. Though the apartment is serviced with management and cleaning offered by the property managers on site, I decided to get a better grip on it by hiring an independent maid. Since then the apartment is cleaned and checked twice a week and she informs me of any problems that arise with keeping the apartment tidy and clean. Future guests will be spared this experience as I learned from it very well.
