Getting There & Away
Rawai is about 18km from Phuket Town. Sŏrng·tăa·ou (30B) run from Phuket's fountain
circle at Th Ranong - some continue to Hat Nai Han, but not all of them, so ask first. The
túk-túk trip from Rawai to Nai Han is a hefty 200B.
You can hire taxis (which are actually just chartered cars) from Rawai and Hat Nai Han
to the airport (800B), Patong (700B) and Phuket Town (500B).
TOP OF CHAPTER
Hat Kata
Travellers of all ages, styles and tastes descend on this tourist enclave with its bustling
restaurants, wet season surfing and luscious beach, which is without the seedy hustle en-
demic to Patong. While you might not find a secluded strip of sand, you will find lots to
do and plenty of easy-going folks to clink beers with. There's even a top-notch yoga stu-
dio.
The beach is divided in two by a rocky headland, and the road between them is home to
Phuket's original millionaire's row. Hat Kata Yai is on the north end, while the more se-
cluded Hat Kata Noi unfurls to the south. Both offer soft golden sand and attract a bo-
hemian crowd.
The main commercial street of Th Thai Na is perpendicular to the shore and has most
of its restaurants and shops, along with some cheaper places to stay.
