Karon Beach

  • February 28, 2007
  • Rated 4 of 5 by sjmclaughlin from Pawtucket, Rhode Island
Karon Beach

We stayed at the Crowne Plaza Phuket which is directly across the street from Karon beach. This quiet beach is nestled between Kata and the busy beach in Patong. We paid 100 baht ($2.50) to have lounge chairs set up for us under an umbrella. There were only 2 other couples on the entire beach. There are no lifeguards and the water was pretty rough, but we really enjoyed playing in the waves. The sand is fairly coarse and makes a zippy sound when you walk.

Because the beach is public, there are many locals trying to sell jewelry, sarongs, Thai silk, luggage, etc. The price start high but you can always haggle them down to about 1/4 of the original price. It seemed they expect you to haggle. There are also several massage huts on the beach, offering a traditional 1-hour Thai massage for about 300 baht ($8). Clothes stay on for a Thai massage. It is not a tranquil and relaxing massage but it does soothe sore muscles and the foot rub was heaven.

Khao Prapa Tao National Park

Khao Prapa Tao National Park

Khao Prapa Tao National Park allows visitors into a rain forest with Ton Sai Waterfall nearby, which was a bit of a hike. There was a manageable but difficult path to reach the waterfall. Bring a water bottle to keep yourself hydrated and have proper footwear for this. I suggest going with a group or at least another person.


Foreign visitors, THB 100.

Jungle Boyz

  • February 27, 2006
  • Rated 2 of 5 by panda1 from ., California
Jungle Boyz is a quiet bar off a quiet road. Inside, there are sofas in the front, a bar in the back, and an open patio outside in the rear. The bartender was quite warm and friendly in an otherwise quiet and boring evening.
