Kamala is a Muslim fishing village north of Patong. Tourist development on the beach Much of which is covered by a Muslim graveyard and a police outpost has been slow in coming. Buffalo herds still come down to the beach to cool off in the afternoon.

The beach is beautiful and about 2 kms. Kamala is the perfect place to get away from it all and has little to offer in the way of entertainment for that go across the mountains to Patong. Regular bus service to and from Phuket Town during daytime, tuk-tuk services available to Patong 5 kms. Away on the new road.
