There's a couple of different operators at Nai Yang beach by the airport. Kite Zone and Kite board Asia are the two that come to mind. They both have websites which are easily findable in google.

Quite a few kiteboarders here. On good wind days I have counted 20 Kites up in Chalong Bay. And due to the season wind changes, both shops are presently located (June 2010) on the west side of the island up at Nai Yang as mentioned, then in the high season (Nov-May) they are down in the east side in the Chalong/Rawai area to take advantage of the easterly winds.

I got certified with Bob from KBA, and have dealt with Kite Zone as well, and I think both shops are adequate. Bob is an older German guy with lots of experience, and Kite Zone is a younger group, some of them certified by Bob years ago then started their own shop. I recommend you check them both out and decide which you feel more comfortable with.

Welcome to Phuket!

Hi Jan,

Looks like we have (at least 2) things in common. What kind of biking are you interested in?
