Kathu District is a district located in the central part of Phuket Island. It is known for its beautiful beaches, lush forested hills, lakes, waterfall, and golf courses. The district is home to the famous Patong Beach, which is a popular tourist destination known for its nightlife and shopping. The area also offers a variety of outdoor activities such as elephant trekking, ATV rides, and zip-lining.
The district borders Phuket Town, where you can find a wide range of shopping malls, international schools, hospitals, and many other amenities. Its central location means getting around to other parts of the island is easy. Overall, Kathu is a great destination for living, whether by the beach in busy Patong or quieter Kamala, or around Kathu Town itself which is very peaceful but has convenient access to the amenities in Phuket Town.
