Low Season Guide
We all know that Phuket is known as one of Thailand’s premier beach destinations, with the crowds and high prices during peak season can be overwhelming. But that is why savvy travelers often opt to visit during the low season, typically spanning from May to October, it is one of the best times to visit the island as prices dip below average and the rain does not come as often as visitors think it might. One area that truly shines during this quieter period is KEP Phuket Marina Bay Restaurant, a charming diner situated on the island’s southeastern shore.
Often overlooked by tourists who are fixated on Phuket’s more famous beaches, KEP offers a delightfully laid-back ambiance and a chance to experience authentic Thai and Western culture away from the tourist hordes. So here at KEP restaurant, we are to give you the ultimate guide to dining at the most beautiful restaurant in Chalong.
Affordable Luxury Abounds
During high season, Phuket’s hotels and resorts can command sky-high rates. But in low season, you can often score luxury digs for a fraction of the cost. That means from food, to tour trips, as well as some of the top-tier resorts, like The Sarojin and Phuket Mermaid Resort. These places offer incredible deals on their ultra-luxurious pool villas and suites, giving parents and children some of the ultimate vacation fun and luxury of exploring the island of Phuket. Visitors can enjoy private plunge pools, lush tropical gardens, and impeccable service all without breaking the bank. These are usually overall included packages that are produced by the hotel via online bookings.
Blissful, Crowd-Free Beaches
Phuket’s most famous beaches, like Patong and Karon, and even Kata beach can feel more like overcrowded city centers during peak times. Even during the low season, these beaches can somewhat get a little crowded for most visitors. But many beaches on the island are very beautiful and quiet to visit and get away from the crowd. Beaches like Nai Harn and Ya Nui boast silky white sands and incredibly tranquil vibes, with just a few souls dotting the shores. You may even get an entire cove to yourself at times. This is probably the best time to get your tanning and suffering on when visiting the beaches in Phuket.
Whether you are lounging on a sun bed or frolicking in the warm Andaman waters, these amazing strands offer the ultimate escape. And with smaller crowds, and more tasty local food to eat, finding a great beachfront restaurant for leisurely lunches and sunset cocktails is a breeze. There are many local stalls or local Thai restaurants near all beaches that will conveniently accompany you to have lunch brunch or even dinner.
Cultural Immersion
Aside from its spectacular natural scenery, KEP offers ample opportunities for cultural exploration during the low season. Wander through the town’s quiet streets and markets, where you’ll encounter far fewer tourists and more friendly local interactions. There is a local fish market nearby where you can get fresh fish and crab to take home to yourself to be cooked in your feast. You can visit the Kep Crab Market, as well where you can pick fresh seafood to be cooked in front of you for your dinner.
Adventures Galore
While Kep offers the ideal setting for utter relaxation, it’s also a fantastic jumping-off point for outdoor adventures in the low season. Take a boat or yacht across to another island. Being right at the pier you can book many nearby island trips. Go island hopping around dazzling isles like Koh Yao Noi, where pristine beaches and lush rainforests await. Many island tours await you as you enjoy the island and become more in tune with what is right in front of you. Sign up for a sea kayaking excursion and paddle along Phuket’s dramatic coastline, discovering hidden coves and sea caves. Even go snorkeling at Banana Beach Koh Hey, just a 30-minute trip from KEP restaurant by boat.
Or just like other tourists who are gracing the lovely island you can, explore the island’s lush interior on a hike through Khao Phra Thaeo National Park, keeping an eye out for colorful hornbills and mischievous monkeys. With far fewer tourists around, the park’s trails take on an aura of true wilderness. That will have your inner adventure side coming out.
With its idyllic beaches, fascinating culture, and abundance of adventures, Kep is a true escape from Phuket’s high-season madness.
