Gee, I understand that some of the comments are tongue in cheek and all, but there seems to be a sense that Kamala is some kind of crime infested dump.

I’d choose it over any other parts of the island that I’ve lived, and after more than four years here I have no intentions whatsoever of moving. And it certainly is no less safe than say Kata or Patong. It offers a more relaxed atmosphere, good eateries, nice beach, good range of hotels / guest houses and only a short hop from Patong. And as Dodger says, more than enough bars and the quality of the girls beats Kata / Karon heads down.

Not that I really care (much), but it would be a damn shame if someone did not consider moving / holidaying here due to misconceptions spread through this forum.

Walker: A great hotel is the Siam Guest House. I think their prices are around 1500 BHT in late April. No pool, but practically on the beach. A number of decent guesthouses on the main road as well. A good place to start the evening is the Beer Garden. Markets on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Enjoy.
