Phuket Villas in Kamala
Kamala, a 3-kilometres beach set in a bay in the middle of Phuket's west coast, is quite different to all others on this large resort island. Until recently the main thing Kamala was famous for was a herd of over 100 buffaloes which would wander down the beach to the edge of the water every evening and take in the sunset with their feet in the salty water.
Behind the beach was lots of open, green grazing area, and two distinct village communities, Buddhists by the beach and Muslims back close to the high mountain range that rings the valley and beach.
The beach at Kamala is shallow and the deep clear water expected in Phuket is not here, though swimming is fine at high tide. There are few buildings right by the beach, and a long stretch of it is protected from all development forever since it is a Muslim cemetery, though it appears as open grassy land studded with sugar palms. |

The interesting area now is the Buddhist community down by the beach, which still remains essentially a village, but with many of the homes there having transformed themselves into guesthouses and restaurants. The atmosphere is still very casual and rather quaint and village-like. But development is moving fast, and this is changing season by season as the local residents scramble to join the new hospitality industry.
The main road right through the middle of the valley, bisecting the two communities and opening the way for rapid development of a new satellite center of shops and buildings. This is rapidly becoming the center of the new Kamala. The inevitable bars and restaurants aimed at the tourism market are also springing up here, though few have the ambience of the small places close to the beach.
The tourism industry has brought accompanying services like long distance phone, e-mail cafes and car rentals. Again, most are concentrated along the beach road.
The most remarkable development in Kamala is the amazing new Fantasea entertainment center, by far the biggest and most ambitious on Phuket. This is an extravaganza of a Thai cultural show, that, at its defining moment, raises a dozen large elephants into the 'sky' above the stage. The performers number hundreds, and no expense has been spared in creating the most impressive such show in Thailand. This is one of the island's 'must see' happenings. |
