Kathu

Kathu is the smallest district in Phuket, yet it is full of charm and interesting places. Hidden within the lush jungle, the namesake waterfall is a must-visit attraction. In addition to beautiful natural spots, Kathu is home to authentic temples and one of the island’s most fascinating museums – the Mining Museum. One of Kathu’s main advantages is its comprehensive infrastructure, including international schools, shopping centers, and hospitals. The area also features excellent cafes, restaurants, and massage parlors. Kathu is a great choice for long-term stays on the island. For entertainment and beach activities, it’s better to visit the neighboring areas of Kamala, Patong, or Karon. Kathu’s central location on the island allows residents quick access to these nearby districts. Most accommodations in Kathu are available for long-term rent, with options ranging from affordable studios to spacious apartments. The housing stock is primarily composed of condominiums, though nearby, there is active construction of comfortable townhouse communities. Kathu can be considered an excellent starting point for exploring the island, thanks to its central location 🔥 The best places in Kathu go first 👇🏼
