Thawalai Inn Kata

All rooms at Thawalai Inn Kata measure 28 m² and have free Wi-Fi. The layouts include double and twin rooms, and some rooms have a balcony, with air conditioning and a flat-screen TV in many of them.

Several rooms have a private bathroom with a shower, toiletries and towels, and some have a coffee or tea maker. Rooms with a balcony sleep up to three guests.

Thawalai Inn Kata offers free Wi-Fi in all rooms, and WiFi is also available in public areas, with internet services at the property. Free parking is available, with more parking nearby. Air conditioning is provided in the public areas. Guests can use the luggage storage and safety deposit boxes at the front desk whenever they need them.

The property has daily housekeeping, 24-hour security and a terrace. Diving, fishing, snorkelling and tours are offered, English and Thai are spoken, and bottled water is available. Flat-screen TVs are also provided in the rooms, and the 24-hour security covers the property day and night, so the rooms and the common areas are both looked after.

Kata is one of the beach areas on the west coast of Phuket, and Kata Beach is the closest stretch of sand to Thawalai Inn Kata, 350 m away. Karon Beach sits along the same coastline, next to Kata, and the two beaches are the main draw of the area. Nai Harn Beach is another bay nearby. The streets behind the beach are lined with small shops and food stalls, so the evening is easy to spend on foot.

Kata Night Market is 100 m from the hotel, and Kata Open Market is in the same area. Big Buddha Phuket, one of the island's best-known landmarks, sits on a hilltop 1.6 km away. Wat Chalong, one of Phuket's best-known temples, is also worth a visit, and Phuket FantaSea, a large theme park with an evening cultural show, is further afield.

A full day can start on Kata Beach, continue with a visit to Big Buddha, and end at the night market back in Kata. Karon Beach is a good option for a longer walk along the sand. The minibus station is 900 m from the hotel, and Phuket International Airport is 31.9 km away, so onward travel from the airport is needed.
