A late-night arrival at Phuket International: humid air, palms lining a slow coastal road, and a driver holding a clear sign with your name. The drive to Kamala Beach moves you away from the airport’s bustle toward a quieter west-coast shore where the Andaman Sea pushes light onto the sand and low ridgelines roll up from the water.
