Katathani Phuket Beach Resort


Katathani Phuket Beach Resort rates fourth on our best beach resort list for its wonderful setting on Kata Noi Beach - a white-sand paradise. Year round, this resort has the best of both worlds; the smooth-as-glass sea from November to May and an unforgettable seascape the rest of the year. Kata Noi Beach is away from the crowds so there you will be able to make full use of the 850-metre long strand and revel in the hotel's many facilities, which include six swimming pools, three Jacuzzis, a fantastic spa, no less than six restaurants, tennis courts, cooking classes and much, much more.

Myanmar - (Burma) South East Asia

Myanmar


Myanmar, once called Burma, is one of ASEAN countries, sharing borders with Bangladesh, India, China, Laos and Thailand. With a total land area of 676, 577 sq. km, the country stretches over 2090 km from north to south and over 925 km east to west. It has a 2832 km long coastline on the Indian Ocean and over 50% of its total land area covered with forest.






Myanmar has a rich cultural and historical heritage with great places to visit like the glittering Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon (Rangoon) and Bagan. 


The natural environment is equally brilliant with many parts of the country still covered in rainforest while rice paddy fields dominant much of the remainder. More than 100 different national races exhibit many unique characteristics.








Did You Know?
The area is abundant in precious stones including jade, sapphires and pearls.
Meanwhile, 90% of the world’s rubies come from Myanmar exports.
