From Patong you drive north along the beach road, and past the roundabout with the dolphin figures Road 4030 begins, with Kalim beach along it on the left, about 1.8 km from the centre of Patong beach. ## How far is Kalim from everything? Phuket Airport is about 33 km away, through Surin and Kamala, around forty minutes by the OSRM route planner. Kamala is about 8 km and 9 minutes north over the pass, and Phuket Town about 15 km and 17 minutes inland. ## Which car suits Kalim? A compact car is easier here: it fits at the roadside and pulls back into the traffic without fuss. Just past the beach Road 4030 climbs to the pass towards Kamala, and in rain the tarmac on that climb is slippery, as on every hill around Patong, so slow down before the bends rather than in them. ## Where to park at Kalim Cars at Kalim are left along Road 4030 where the verge is wide and the kerb is not painted. A red and white kerb means no parking, as everywhere on the island, and in high season it is fined. Do not turn round in the middle of the road: drive on to the dolphin roundabout or a wide bay and come back from there. ## When to go to Kalim beach Kalim is best towards sunset: Patong bay faces west, and from Kalim the sun goes down over the whole bay. Arrive an hour early, because the roadside spaces fill first in the evening. From May to October Kalim, like the whole west coast, has waves and currents, and a red flag means no swimming. Kalim is a reef shore, and surfers treat it as a spot for people who already know what they are doing. ## Delivery and booking The car comes to your hotel or villa in Kalim or to airport arrivals at the hour agreed in chat, and delivery is its own line in the total. Every driver shows a passport, the national driving licence as a physical card and an International Driving Permit at handover. ## FAQ ### How far is Kalim from Patong?
