Walking
Kamala is such a small place that getting around is easy.
Most hotels are close to the beach, entertainment, restaurants,
shopping and activity centres, which makes walking an easy

Simple items such as postcards etc can be sent from the reception
desks of most major hotels. For major items, if you want speedy
clearance, go to the main Post Office in Patong Beach, located
along Rat-U-Thit Road, next to the Patong Palace Hotel at
the northern end of Patong. Open 8am to 4.30pm. The Thai post
service is usually reliable. Urgent or important items can
be sent by EMS. This is faster and safer but the cost is higher.

season, from November until March, when it's not so humid,
and the cool breezes keep things comfortable. The average
temperature is around 75?F to 89?F (24?C to 32?C).
