Kamala is one of Phuket's many beaches lying to the north of Patong Beach and to the south of Surin. Kamala was very badly hit by the 2004 tsunami but has now recovered to boast new hotels and shipa and even a short promenade. Kamala is also home to the very well known cultural theme park Fantasea - http://www.phuket-fantasea.com/

Pride & Admiration
I spent the weekend in Phuket early one morning I wandered early down to the southern end of Bang Tao where the fishermen keep their boats. At 7:30, the place was a hive of activity with boats coming in from a night's fishing, others casting their nets in the shallows and also many of the older folk just sitting around watching the activities. I came across this guy who was plucking fish out of his net together with his grandson, and asked him politely if I could take his picture. He duly stood to attention, but I noticed the look of pride and admiration in the eyes of his grandson. His face is the real picture - not a great photo but really a picture with a great story.

Surfing Ashore
The fishermen of Chennai go out at about 3am in the morning returning around 7:30 am. During the monsoon season there is quite a bit of surf and these boats come in very fast.
