Kamala Beach, Kamala, Phuket 83120
Sandy bay once home to Muslim fishermen, now edged by luxury resorts and a small tsunami memorial.
This guide to Kamala Beach in Phuket traces the sandy bay's evolution from a quiet Muslim fishing village, drying its catch on the sand, into a stretch of luxury resorts and beach clubs. It covers the tourism boom of the 1990s and 2000s, and the morning of December 26, 2004, when the Indian Ocean earthquake sent a wave into this cove. A small memorial park with two illuminated sculptures now stands a short walk from the beach.
