A calm beach, villas among the greenery and not a single shopping mall — without a bike Kamala quickly turns into a golden cage. We bring the bike to your villa, delivery is free.
Kamala is the quiet, family end of the west coast, one headland away from Patong. The same families come back to it year after year for exactly that reason. Laem Sing is the next small bay along, tucked under the headland, and the shopping is either north past Porto de Phuket or over the hill at Jungceylon in Patong. Phuket FantaSea, the evening show, is in Kamala itself, so the district fills up after dark and is quiet again by morning.
The road between Kamala and Patong climbs over a hill with a viewpoint on the way — a small attraction in itself, and the first real gradient many riders meet. Head north instead and it flattens out completely. You get both in one district: an easy run to the shops, and a climb and a descent every time you go towards Patong. If you have tickets for the evening show, count on riding home in the dark, when that hill is quiet and poorly lit.
The hill decides this one. Honda PCX 160 has the engine to take the climb with a passenger without dropping to a crawl, holds its line on the way down, and its headlight earns its keep on the ride back at night. Stay inside Kamala — beach, shops, dinner, home — and the Click 160 is all the bike the day needs. Neither one asks for experience you do not have. If the hill road is new to you, set the route before you pull away: the turn-offs arrive faster than you expect.
Kamala is the opposite of Patong, just one hill away: a calm family beach, villas and condos among the greenery, an unhurried rhythm. Families with children and winter-stayers who want peace and quiet live here — and that's exactly why a bike is essential: Kamala has no malls or nightlife of its own.
The maths is simple: Central and Jungceylon are over the hill in Patong (20 minutes), Boat Avenue and Porto de Phuket are 15 minutes to the north, and Laem Sing beach — one of the island's prettiest little coves — is 7 minutes towards Surin. Grab takes a long time to reach Kamala and costs a lot, and there are few tuk-tuks. Without your own transport the area quickly becomes a "golden cage".
The area's bonus is Phuket Fantasea: the island's main evening show is right here, 5 minutes from the beach. And the Kamala–Patong road over the hill with its viewpoint is a little attraction in itself.
