Phuket Wake Park

The Kathu expanse of Phuket is where I live. It's non far from Patong Beach (just over the loma on the agency to Phuket town) together with if y'all wishing to acquire away from the nigh touristy beach inwards Thailand, acquire on a bike together with ride over that loma past times the temple on the hill, downwards to a quieter, largely residential expanse alongside a lot of history (Kathu was the midpoint of the tin mining industry, together with the famous Phuket Vegetarian Festival originated here). The daily Kathu market is worth a see together with you'll discovery temples inwards together with only about the village.

But there's more! If y'all plow left at the lights adjacent to the Caltex gas station, y'all exceed the marketplace together with are heading towards Loch Palm Golf Course together with the one-time Kathu hamlet when y'all volition encounter a left plow to Kathu Waterfall (Nam Tok Kathu). There's genuinely a fair amount of novel houses only about this expanse - Kathu is getting quite popular! The route upward to the waterfall winds along for several kilometers. It's all residential alongside houses one-time together with new, together with lots of pocket-sized shops together with restaurants. Along the agency y'all exceed the entrance to the Phuket Wake Park. It used to move called Phuket Cable Ski - but was rebranded alongside novel owners (Russian, I believe) a couplet of years ago. There's plenty of parking, together with a wakeboard store exterior too.
