Kathu is the central valley connecting Patong to Phuket Town. It is an authentic residential area, away from mass tourism, known for its 18-hole golf course (Phuket Country Club), waterfalls and former tin mines. The setting is green and quiet.

It offers affordable villas, traditional Thai houses and mid-priced family condos. Kathu attracts local residents, golfers and professionals working in Phuket Town or Patong. It is a smart and economical choice: central, green, with excellent access to both coasts without the beachfront price.
