Phuket Cable Ski, Kathu

We've had a rainy week here in Phuket this week. One of my favourite things to do in Phuket when it rains is wake boarding at Phuket Cable Ski in Kathu. Located half way down soi namtok it's a great facility with a nice cafe and bar. It's open every day and in the evening it's floodlit. There are some really good riders there but it's also open to beginners. You can water ski, wake board or knee board. Prices start at 500 baht. More details on their website here.

In the evening around 5-7pm the area is popular with locals who jog and walk around the lake for exercise. The loop around is 1km.

In the same area is Kathu Shooting range plus the new flying Hanuman zip line through the jungle.I haven't tried this yet but a friend of mine who has loved it. I will post more at a later date on Kathu as an adventure centre of Phuket because there are also ATV tours, two go-kart tracks, three golf courses and a driving range. Also nearby is Kathu waterfall and the Phuket Tin Mining museum.

Kathu is just 10 minutes drive from Patong beach or Phuket Town. We can arrange personalized activity tours of the area. Ask us for details.
