关于卡马拉

Kamala is a subdistrict of Kathu district on Phuket's west coast, about 10 km north of Patong over the hill. Its 18.9 km² hold six villages, from Bang Wan and Ban Nuea to Nok Lay and Naka Kamala. Choeng Thale lies to the north, Patong to the south, Kathu to the east and the Andaman Sea to the west.

The Kamala hills close the valley on three sides and open onto a wide bay of soft pale sand. The old name, from the Malay for a deep bay, became Kamala, 'lotus', in the 1940s. The village grew from Muslim fishermen and farmers: mixed orchards of durian, jackfruit and rambutan still cover the slopes, and fishing boats still work the south end of the bay.

Kamala was among the places hit hardest by the 2004 tsunami. A memorial park near the beach, with a 10 m wire sphere called Heart of the Universe, opened in 2006. Since then the rice fields have turned into homes and hotels, and two lanes behind the beach fill with small restaurants, tailors and massage shops.

The north end of the bay is the smart end, with an international resort and one of Phuket's best-known beach clubs; the headlands carry villas, the southern road called Millionaire's Mile among them, and Laem Sing's cove lies over the northern point. Inland, two evening theme parks draw the crowds; the nights in the village itself are quiet.

卡马拉的亮点

  • A family bay

    In the high season the water is very shallow and clear, best at the north end and the centre; lifeguards watch the beach and there is a small playground near the north end.

  • Slower than its neighbours

    Kamala's pace is much slower than Patong's: a compact village where most people walk, with Patong's nightlife 15 to 20 minutes away when wanted.

  • From grilled chicken to fine dining

    Casual restaurants on the sand serve breakfast, grilled chicken and som tam; the InterContinental's Jaras is listed in the Michelin Guide.

  • Beach clubs and big shows

    Café del Mar and Pine Beach Bar at the north end, and Phuket FantaSea and Carnival Magic just inland, are where Kamala's evenings happen.

  • Two roadside lookouts

    Kamala Viewpoint, just north of town, shows the whole curve of the bay; further on, Laem Sing Viewpoint looks straight down on the cove. Both are free.

  • On the airport bus line

    The airport Smart Bus stops at the InterContinental, Kamala Muslim Cemetery, Phuket FantaSea and Big C Kamala, for a flat 100 THB (2026).

带孩子游卡马拉

Kamala is one of Phuket's mainstream family choices: a shallow, shaded bay with lifeguards, a compact village to walk, and two evening theme parks inland, with Patong's crowds a hill away.

  • The north end and the centre of the bay are shallow and calm from December to April.
  • Lifeguards watch the beach; swim near them, and avoid the south end where streams run in.
  • A small playground near the north end, and the memorial park, give a break from the sand.
  • Phuket FantaSea and Carnival Magic make a big family evening.
  • Two walk-in clinics in the village open daily 09:00 to 20:00; a Waldorf school works here; the big hospitals are 25 to 35 minutes away.

Kamala is on the west-coast road, 15 to 20 minutes over the hill from Patong and 35 to 45 minutes from the airport and from Phuket Town. The airport Smart Bus runs through it.

停车： There is no known public car park; for the north end, use the resorts' drop-offs, and for Laem Sing, park behind Surin Beach.

谁会喜欢卡马拉，谁不会

会喜欢

  • Families with small children: shallow water, shade and lifeguards in the high season.
  • Couples who want sunsets, beach clubs and quiet nights.
  • Retirees and long-stayers over fifty, a large part of Kamala's foreign residents.
  • Villa renters: the headlands, Millionaire's Mile among them, carry some of Phuket's grandest homes.
  • Residents who want the beach a few minutes away and a village feel without Patong's intensity.

不会喜欢

  • Party seekers: beyond the beach clubs, the village is quiet at night; Patong is 15 to 20 minutes away.
  • Tight budgets: a one-bedroom rents for about 18,000 to 45,000 THB a month (2026).
  • Year-round swimmers: from June to November the waves and red flags often close the sea.

卡马拉小贴士

  • Swim north, not south

    The north end and the centre have the best water; streams and fishing boats make the south end less appealing.

  • Check Carnival Magic's days

    Carnival Magic opens only on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday evenings; Phuket FantaSea opens in the evening too.

  • Minimum spend, not rent

    At Café del Mar you do not pay for a bed; you agree to spend a minimum on food and drink.

  • Cash for Laem Sing

    The boat from Surin costs 100 THB a person, and the cove's one restaurant takes cash only.

  • Ride the Smart Bus

    A flat 100 THB takes you to the airport or Patong from four stops in Kamala; buses run hourly (2026).

  • Dress for the village

    Kamala has a long-standing Muslim community as well as Buddhist temples: cover up when you leave the beach for the village or a place of worship.

  • Walk the back lane

    The narrow lane one block behind the beach is pleasant in the evening, with small restaurants, bars and massage shops.

  • Clinics in the village

    For everyday problems, two walk-in clinics in Kamala open daily 09:00 to 20:00; the big private hospitals are 25 to 35 minutes away.
