    Quite an experience after sun down. Lots of seafood options inside a lane near the entrance of the Bangla Road.

    Lot of people trying to get you inside bars or for ping pong shows. Try to avoid them. The 7/11 was packed to the brim so dont expect to get a beer there quick. Not fit for little children.

    The big buddha itself is closed to the public because of a landslide, we went to the top with our guide we could still take some great photos of the big buddha and the views are amazing, lots of monkeys around the entrance.

    Kata tends to be busy but more laid back than other beaches in the area. Apart from water sports, there are plenty of things to do around (spa, markets and bars with live music)

    Such a wonderful experience from start to finish! The sanctuary is well organized. there was a nice balance of education, hands on activities with the elephants and a tasty meal. I loved learning about the elephants and their mahouts. The elephants were calm and looked happy. It looked like the sanctuary cared for them well.
    Super clean bathrooms and showers and secure lockers were much appreciated. The sanctuary took lots of photos and made them available for no additional charge. Overall a great experience and good value for the money.

    Nice place to be! Be it early morning or the day time, you get to have a good time at this beach. Can get crowded, but still not as much as a few others and can maintain peace. Activities possible here too and you can not miss the long walk along the beach and have that 'calm' feel. Recommended!

    A long beach, much quieter than the Patong one. Was quite clean. Fine sand. Had quite a number of sun umbrellas and beach chairs available for rent at 100 baht.

    Beautiful and tropical beach with a spectacular view of the Andaman Sea. However, the surf is rough, and the currents are strong, making it not really ideal for swimming and snorkeling. It the place to be for surfers.

    This hotel is stunning, beautifully decorated but the location is both a blessing and a curse, views are great but you can’t walk anywhere and have to gets taxis or tuk tuks. Patong beach is just a couple of miles away but takes about 40 mins by taxi due to traffic, strongly recommend to go the other way to Kamala beach and use “blue umbrella” sunbed service for a relaxing day at the beach

    Lots of shops & stalls within the mall, so much choice you don’t know where to look but stores like Robinson’s & Skechers to stall selling traditional Thai wares or vast amounts of trainers or Thai clothing, it’s huge so do expect to get lost!

    We visited Freedom beach November2024, taxi there 300bht from Patong, when you arrive there is another 300bht per person to transport you down the winding trail/ path / road. I'll be honest the 300bht for the ride is worth every penny, especially for the journey back up. If you fancy the climb mske sure you have decent foot wear.
    The beach it's self is lovely white sands with turquoise warm water as you would expect.
    There are no sunbeds to rend or umbrellas so be prepared to burn.
    There are a few shady areas if you need to get out of the sun.
    There are stalls selling beers and barbecue chicken and fish priced reasonably cheap.
    Overall a great day out, I would definitely recommend, just not the climb up and down.
    Enjoy
