When you come to Phuket, besides sunshine and beaches, a rich seafood dinner is a must. There are many restaurant options near Kata Noi Beach. We didn’t do any special research and just walked to a convenient location at the nearest intersection and found the Orchid Restaurant. There are many large glass tanks outside the restaurant, which contain many different kinds of seafood, which is dazzling (this is also what attracted us to go in). Since there were only two of us, the dishes we could order were limited (but we still ordered a lot 🤣), so we chose prawns, squid, oysters, etc., which we all like. I personally think the cooking is just average (I feel the Thai restaurants in Hong Kong cook better), but the seafood is really fresh! Later we searched on Google again and found that the rating of this restaurant is not very high. It is recommended that if you come here to play, you should do some homework and check the restaurant ratings and comments before choosing 😜 to avoid wasting a quota of delicious meal~ Restaurant information Name: Orchid Restaurant (Katanoi beach) Address: 61 Kata Noi Rd Opening hours: 0830-2200 #Phuket attractions #Seafood restaurant

Spent a couple days in Phuket after Koh Phi Phi and Ao Nang (Krabi). If you are into busy beaches and crowded markets with a party scene then this place is for you. I prefer the less crowded Ao Nang in Krabi. We were lucky enough to witness a pretty good storm while there.

#springwander Kata Beach in Phuket is a picturesque destination. In the spring, the beach is surrounded by lush green hills and vibrant flowers. The beach offers a range of activities, including swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing. For adventure seekers, there are hiking trails nearby that offer breathtaking views of the Andaman Sea. Visiting Kata Beach in the spring was an unforgettable experience. The warm weather, beautiful scenery, and exciting outdoor activities made it the perfect spot to relax and recharge.

#beachcheck There are two Kata Beaches on Phuket Island — Kata Yai and Kata Noi, as a rocky outcrop divides the bay into two unequal parts. The sparsely populated Kata Noi beach (the word "noi" means "small") is covered with fine sand crunching underfoot. The place is ideal for those who dream of a secluded vacation away from resort entertainment and intrusive merchants. Clear water on clear days acquires a bright turquoise hue, and in cloudy weather the color changes to emerald and dark indigo. The crescent-shaped beach area stretches 700 m in length, and the width depends on the tides, averaging 40-50 m. The entrance to the sea is gentle, the depth increases gradually. The bottom is sandy, without rocks, shells and algae. Families with children and people who cannot swim should be careful: despite the shallow water, a high wave with a powerful shock force may suddenly come. Rip currents pose no less a threat. Warnings are relevant during the monsoon season, which usually lasts from May to October—November. At this time, surfers come to Kata Noi, and red flags on the coast warn of the danger of swimming. The territory is regularly cleaned of garbage by hotel staff and cleaning services, so Kata Noi beach has gained fame as the cleanest in Phuket. Surfing equipment rental is available all year round. There is no natural shade from the trees on the shore. A small shady area hides on the south side of the bay next to a pile of boulders. By the way, boulders serve as natural breakwaters, so there is almost always calm here. There are coral reefs in this part of the water area, which will delight snorkeling enthusiasts. To protect from the sun, you can rent a set of 2 sun beds and an umbrella for 200 THB. Thrifty tourists buy a folding umbrella and a mat in the store, or they sit on towels. On the street along the shore there are shops 7/11 and Family Mart, cafes, massage parlors, fruit stalls. Magnificent landscapes, a peaceful atmosphere and fantastic sunsets when the sun's disk plunges into the Andaman Sea are guaranteed.
