Things to do in Kamala

Snorkelling, diving and Phuket FantaSea

What we say:

Snorkelling at Kamala is pretty much restricted to the reef -- expect to see a lot of smashed coral -- partly as a result of the tsunami, but also frequent boat traffic.

As with elsewhere on Phuket, you're technically, supposed to have a Second Class Helmsman's license to operate a jet ski but this is rarely checked, especially not by the guy whose job it is to rent out the jet skis! The easiest way to avoid any problems is to ride as a passenger. Both passenger and driver should always wear a life jacket.

Out of the water, Phuket FantaSea is an over-the-top cultural theme park with a nightly performance that's been likened to a Vegas show with elephants. It gets rave reviews from adults and kids alike. Tickets are 1,500 and 1,900B including a buffet dinner at the humongous Golden Kinnaree Restaurant. Any hotel or travel office can sell you a ticket and charge an additional 300B for round-trip transportation. Phuket Fantasea is on the highway back off Kamala Beach -- you can't miss it.
