Surf House Phuket

Located by Kata beach, this artificial wave pool allows for year-round surfing. Like Bangkok's Flow House, the venue is home to a giant Flow Rider machine that sends a massive flow of water up a slope, creating a wave-like effect. It's good fun not only for surfers, but also bodyboarders, meaning just about anyone can try it out. An on-site restaurant serves comforting Thai-Hawaiian inspired dishes such as the big Kahuna burger or the fried squid with garlic mayo. There is also a pro-shop carrying surfing equipment and apparel from beach fashion brands such Rip Curl.
