Valley settlement
The town sits along the valley floor, so its streets form a long, narrow band between the hills and not a round centre.

About this Kathu map poster
Kathu is one of the three districts of Phuket, and its town sits inland in a valley that runs between Phuket Town in the east and the beaches of the west coast. On a map the built-up area follows the valley floor. Green, hilly ground rises on both sides, and a few roads twist over the ridges.
Long before tourism, Kathu was a tin-mining centre, and that industry shaped early settlement on the island. The district also reaches the Andaman Sea at Patong, one of Phuket's best-known beach towns, so the same administrative area includes both a quiet inland town and a busy coastal strip.
A Kathu map poster makes the contrast between hills and valley easy to read. The streets gather where the land is flat, and the blank spaces show where the slopes are too steep to build on. The roads that cross toward the coast make a thin link from the island's interior to the sea.

Hill roads to Patong
Winding roads climb over the ridge toward Patong on the west coast. On the poster they show up as loose, curving lines across otherwise empty ground.
Tin-mining past
Kathu grew as one of Phuket's tin-mining towns. The older settlement pattern in the valley comes from that time, before the island turned to tourism.

Why Kathu
A map that means something
