Introduction

Located on the west coast, Kata Beach is adjacent to Karon. From Patong, taking a tuk-tuk only takes 15 minutes and costs about 450 baht. Among the three main beaches, Kata Beach is the most suitable for swimming. Although the beach is not very long, the sand is soft and the waves are very mild. There are rocks at both ends of the beach, making it a good place for taking pictures. There are many European and American tourists on the beach, laying lazily on beach chairs all day long. The whole Kata area is mainly for European and American tourists, presenting a seaside town flavor. The restaurants here mainly serve western food to cater to the tourists' taste. Although there are also cafes and bars on Kata Beach, it is not as lively as Patong. The overall prices for food and shopping are higher than those in Patong and Karon.
