What to do and see in Kata Beach, Phuket: The Best Things to do

April 27, 2022 Weston Hennigan

Just to the south of Karon lies Kata, a laid-back town with two stunning beaches. Kata Yai is the bigger beach, and if you’re not the type to lounge on the sand all day, you can rent practically any type of water-sports equipment here. Kata Noi, on the other hand, is quieter and smaller—ideal for a lazy day. Want a break from the beach? TripAdvisor travelers recommend taking a local Thai cooking class or going elephant trekking.

After doing a bit of research on custom made clothing in Phuket I realized that one of the best rated shops was next to my hotel. After bringing in a few photos, a sketch and having a brief chat about what I wanted created Raju brought my visions to life. Professional, excellent handcrafted work and an amazingly quick turn around time I would highly recommend seeing Raju and his team for custom made suits dresses and clothing if you are in Phuket. If I could give the team and their shop 10 stars I would! Thank you for my beautiful clothes!

While staying in Patong I really wanted to learn more about Thai cuisine so read lots of reviews on Thai cooking classes and really like VJ’s. As someone who loves to cook & watches all cooking show & loves to read cookbooks ???? The biggest draw card was the markets before to pick up the produce for the dishes we were to make. So I booked online the day before & got an email confirming the morning class (market included) also confirmed a pick up from my hotel in Patong. 10:30 pick up from Patong with a lovely driver & air conditioned van. About a 20mins drive to kata beach (beautiful coast drive) Then to the markets ???????? VJ meets the group there and walks us around explaining all sorts of ingredients that are used in Thai cooking, truely loved learning the correct Thai produce. Back to the cooking studio (just down the road from the market) we are welcomed into an air conditioned prep room with everything we need to make our 4 dishes. We are offered coffee, water & fruit throughout the class. First we prepared our ingredients for Tom yum, pad Thai & chicken & basil. Each ingredient was explained. Then we learnt about curry paste. I made green curry paste, from scratch using a mortar & pestle, thankfully VJ’s staff helped me, very talented ladies ???????????????? We then went to our cooking stations and started with Tom yum Goong (prawns) so much fun! This was the best Tom yum I’ve ever eaten ???????? Next was Pad Thai with chicken, another delicious dish. We sat down to eat these two dishes after each cook. Then we made the stir fried chicken basil, this I loved. This really made me appreciate using the right ingredients really make or breaks a dish. Last was our curries (some made red curry paste) the method of cooking this dish was different to what I have used at home & something I will be using with all my curries. We then sat down to eat our last two dishes. The staff had the prep room ready with fresh steamed jasmine rice. A perfect way to enjoy our dishes. Boy was I full! Make sure you don’t eat breakfast beforehand. All recipes emailed to our class including all Thai ingredients and understandings. I was returned to my hotel after 2:30pm.. great way to spend my morning. Thank you Vj and team ❤️❤️

Kata Night Market

Reviewed By E3ISmeganr - Sydney, Australia

Get there early (before 1730hrs) as this place gets super busy super quick. Heaps of different food stalls to choose from for example-BBQ ribs (150 baht), Pad Thai, mixed vegetables on skewers (4 for 100 baht), fish, chicken schnitzel on a stick, ice cream, pancakes, drinks. All stalls are very clean with no bad smells. Store operators are friendly and helpful. Portion sizes are generous. -No table service (although a couple of stall operators did bring our food across to us-unexpected but lovely). We ate here most evenings (8 out of 12 nights) perfect every time- better value than the Patong food street markets and not as busy. Family friendly-large movable tables-something for everyone. Then after dinner we perused the cloths and souvenir stalls in the same block.
