I took this with a phone as the sun was getting low. It’s taken at the north end of Kata Beach, which is separated from the south end of Karon Beach by a little promontory. It’s either blurry or minimalist, depending on whether you like it or not. The boats were in for the night, and the sun was shimmering hard.

If you’re looking for a nice quiet place to stay on Phuket, Baan Krating offers a good option. It’s on the southwest tip of the island down by Nai Harn Beach. This is taken on the footpath to a quiet section of beach it shares with an adjacent property. It does have another–even quieter–private section of beach, but that is even more rock strewn with razor-sharp shells and conical barnacle casings.

Tulum may be the only archaeological site where there is standing advice to bring one’s bathing suit. You can check out some Mayan architecture and then lay out on the beach.
