PUKET, THAILAND-JAN 24,2016: Unidentified people are relaxing on Kata beach during a sunny day in Phuket on Jan 24, 2016, Thailand.
This is Kata Beach, very popular with tourists and hopefully this photo will confirm why it is so popular. The long exposure gives a nice dreamy appearance, hopefully inducing a sense of holiday calm.
A quiet beach that you can surf and windsurf during this time of the year in Phuket. #lifeatexpedia
