Karon is concentrated around three main areas: The Karon Plaza area
on the south end features a number of budget guesthouses, restaurants
and bars. The side sois are worth exploring, particularly the one
that leads to a small art community, where some budding Thai painters
have built a complex of huts, pubs and art galleries in which they
live and work.
The sprawling grounds of Thavorn
Palm Beach Resort and the Hilton
Phuket Arcadia dominate much of the central part
of Karon. Just north of these is Aroona Plaza which houses a range of handicraft shops, good restaurants
and cafes, a few bars and a hotel modeled on the Sino-Portuguese architecture
of Old Phuket. The wide beachside avenue is ideal for taking an evening
stroll and doing some shopping.
Karon is one of Phuket's longer beaches, very popular due to its
fine white sand. Being so long the sunbeds are well spaced out so
it never feels crowded.
Everything you need is within easy reach for a fun day on the beach.
We have put details together so you can be fully prepared.
