Sights in Hat Kamala

  1. A

    Phuket Fantasea

    Interested in a US$60 million ‘cultural theme park’ located just north of Hat Kamala? This ain’t Disneyland, but there is a show that takes the colour and pageantry of traditional Thai dance and combines them with Vegas-style production value (think 30 elephants). All of this takes place on a stage dominated by a full-scale replica of a Khmer temple reminiscent of Angkor Wat. Kids may be captivated but it’s over-the-top cheesy. Tickets can be booked through most hotels and tour agencies. No cameras allowed.

  2. Laem Singh

    Local beach boffins will tell you that Laem Singh is one of the best capes on the island. Walled in by cliffs, there is no road access so you have to park on the headland and clamber down a narrow path. You could camp here and eat at the rustic roadside seafood places at the northern end of Singh or in Ban Kamala, a village further south. If you're renting a motorbike, this is a nice little trip down Rte 4025 and then over dirt roads from Surin to Kamala.
