Kata Beach ... Phuket town for some department store shopping. Kata is a good choice for those who want it a bit quieter than Patong beach, but still not to quite. Things to do around the beach ...

Phuket Thai Village and Orchid Garden ... restaurant here, a playground for the children, a couple of handicraft shops and workshops, and the main event a Thai cultural show that you may see twice a day at 11am and 5.30pm...
