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 Although the three masted trading ships of yore are gone, they have been replaced by luxury yachts and charter boats, and regattas and boat shows are common occurrences.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

“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.

“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.

“Truly a home away from home, EVEN BETTER than home in some ways!!!” My family of 4 stayed in this Penthouse last summer and we had a BLAST! We loved the spaciousness, the modern conveniences, (i.e. WiiFIi, ACs in all rooms, satelite t.v., washing machine, nice... more

“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.

Guestbook for Kamala Regent A-501

"LOVE,LOVE,LOVE this wonderful, contemporary duplex penthouse! Seriously, it is gorgeous, so comfortable, so modern, but surrounded by ethnic local environment - it really was a wonderful home away from home. Wish we didn't live so far away (Egypt), otherwise I would rent it 2 or 3 times a year. My family thoroughly enjoyed staying here, enjoyed the private pool on the roof at night and in the day time as we gazed upon the stars above us and cooled off during the day. All the rooms, facilities, kitchen, internet, satelite tv, gym, just made it so nice to slip into as we discovered the Thai culture and the island of Phuket. Don't hesitate to book this place - you won't regret it - it is AWESOME! VERY fond memories!

- Traci O., Egypt

"The unit was fantastic. Clean and nicely located just a 5 minute walk from Kamala Beach and the main road. Easy to get taxi's and tuk-tuks from the corner of the street. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The private rooftop pool was beautiful as was the sundeck."

- Elisabeth K., United Kingdom

"Kamala Beach is just a short distance from Patong Beach, the hotspot of Phuket. It's quieter for those who like it that way. You may want to rent a car for convenience sake. The service staff at the apartment were friendly and it was an easy check-in. The apartment itself was spacious, neat and clean. It had good facilities such as a full-sized fridge, 3 bedrooms, a private pool, sauna, washing machine, stoves and a strong wi-fi connection. I enjoyed my stay there and would recommend it to anyone!"

- Justin C., Singapore
