hi we're going back to phuket in two weeks for our wedding and honeymoon, have been looking back through old photos from our trip two years ago and have found a beach that we went to that i really want to go back to, i've posted links to the pics below. here's what i remember about the place: there was a temple of some sort across the road to the beach, the beach had a big car park with lots of hawkers in it, you then walked down a promenade with the beach on the left and markets and restraunts on the right, the key thing about this beach was that there was lots of cane couches (not just the plastic sun lounges), well anyway if anyone could help me with the name of the beach i'd really appreciate it...thanks

Maybe it is Kata or Karn Beach where the sand is squeaky clean. Cheers Tommy x
I don't know. The photos you posted don't show a lot of the scenery. One thing you can try is tineye.com. You can try to reverse lookup your photos for similar images there. Good luck.
Yes, it might be Kata Beach. Is there a ska bar there?
Kata and karon beach is going south of Patong, there is a bar and hotels near by that may play ska music, but all beach music blends with reagge and ska. I like the beach either way and hope you find it. If you know the area and have a car, there is a beach north of Patong that you have to climb down a hill to a cove. It is secluded and has a few rock formation. It is pass the Fantasea park. Just follow the coast until you see scooters parkedall over the hill. I think it is call Surin Beach Have fun Cheers Tommy x
If you are going to Phuket anytime soon, and would like to go to a beach, I would seriously suggest this beach as it was practically untouch by the tsunami, beach bench and stalls are in full swing. The Beach is clean and the wave are actually quite strong as well. There is a beach club by the name of Twin Palms which have a shower as well.
Our friend introduced us to this traditional, ancient Thai massage. You start with a full-body oil massage which lasts for two hours. Much muscle/joint "reading" is done during the massage and it is the most therapeutic massage I've ever had. The girls explain how the pains in one side of my neck and head were coming from my calf! I guess it's based on the body's meridians. The masseuses have been taught by a master. The tools of their trade are pictured. The first piece is a bundle of joss-stick ends tied together to form a kind of brush. When a muscle or area fails to respond to massage, it is brushed to stimulate circulation. The second piece is a cow's horn which is used for pressure-points and the third piece is a kind of wooden "knuckle".
The second part of the massage is to be buried in sand at the beach. Your feet point toward the water and are buried deepest. The sand comes right up to your neck and it's actually very comfortable. You lie like this for 1-2 hours. The sensation is quite strange. It already feels interesting and pleasant to feel the weight of the sand compressing your muscles, but within moments, you actually feel your body (particularly hands and feet) throbbing. It's like an internal massage.
While you're buried in the sand, the girls give you a face sand massage. It may sound terrible, but it feels really good. Gradually they brush the sand away from your neck and arms and massage those with sand. Not only do you feel a gentle sloughing of your skin, but the release from the compression makes you feel really light. Anyhow, after you've been sand-massaged, you get up and wash off in the beautiful calm, warm water of the beach, then stay to watch the sunset.
I can't think of a time when my head has felt so clear, my body so light and energetic as after my first burial. It is a great experience. There is a group of disabled people (through stroke or accident) who go there almost daily for treatment and we have seen one man who has managed to leave his wheelchair through this therapy.
I only found this cart selling banana pancakes in the evening in the street near the southern commercial area of Kamala Beach (south of Phuket Kamala Resort).
It is fun to watch how they are made. I had the banana coconut pancake. Very tasty!
