About Pru Jampa
Pru Jampa (also written Pru Champa) is a quiet, woodland area in Thep Krasattri, in Thalang district, set back from the west coast. It was originally agricultural land and still has wetlands, freshwater ponds and plantations around it, which gives it a rural, uncrowded feel. The nearest beaches are Nai Thon and Nai Yang, around 9 km by road (around 15 mins). Layan Beach looks closer on a map, but it is about 10 km by road (around 20 mins). The Tri Vananda wellness community, roughly 600 rai of forest and lakes, is around 1 km away, and its farm-to-fork restaurant JAMPA is around 2 km away.
Day to day, Thalang town is the practical hub, around 3 to 4 km (around 10 mins) away, with Lotus Thalang, Makro, Home Pro, a fresh market and Thalang Hospital. Boat Avenue, Porto de Phuket and Laguna Phuket are around 15 mins away, and the airport is around 15-20 mins. UWC Thailand, Thanyapura and Glenalmond Phuket are around 10 to 15 mins away. Phuket Town and Patong are a longer drive, around 30-45 mins. There are no beach clubs nearby and few cafes. It suits people who want space and quiet with the airport, schools and the west coast within a short drive.
