Katha Beach, Katha Beach/ Phuket Town, Thailand

submitted by: Mel Winter

GENERAL
The beach is a secret spot for great warum water surfing in between ...? to Oktober. Surfing is just starting to become popular there on Phuket Island. You find one or two little Surf shops in Katha beacht and the bigger town nearby. Its great and cheap and locals are freindly - surfing is brought by white European or Americans who spent there time with Mike - the sweisch surf schop owner. Rental boards are expensive - bring your own!

SPOT RATING: 3
(1-not so okay, 2-okay, 3-cool, 4-very cool, 5-the ultimate spot)
