4. Snorkeling is so much fun, saw various fish🐠, corals, and even turtles. It was said there are three snorkeling sessions, we didn't go into the water the first time without a guide, went down twice, time flies when snorkeling, was a bit scared of water at first, but the life jacket is very safe, got used to it and wasn't afraid anymore.
🦞Banzaan Seafood Market
🔸More cost-effective than Rawai Seafood Market, pick a few types of seafood and ask the seller for a package price, be sure to bargain❗️ If you can't bargain down, ask them to give something for free: bought 1 grouper, 2 big mantis shrimps, 1 Australian lobster, got 2 blue crabs, 2 squids, 4 scallops for free, a total of 2500 Baht;
🔸Seafood market second floor processing, at a stall called 'Guangdong Family', charged 600 Baht processing fee, couldn't bargain down, only got a plate of water spinach for free (be sure to ask for it! saw others getting fried rice) the taste is not bad, but it's very crowded and have to wait more than half an hour for the dishes.
🍴☕️Dining & Coffee Shops
🍜Noodles: Khai Waan Restaurant
Tom Yum Goong noodle soup and Thai milk tea are delicious! Have to queue, no Alipay, only cash accepted
☕️Cafe: On the hill
Cliff coffee shop, can see Karon Beach from a high place
☕️Cafe: A blanket & a pillow
Also a cliff coffee shop, this one is bigger, closer to the sea, even the seats can go all the way to the seaside, the scenery is beautiful but it's very crowded, can see the complete sunset
🌄Promthep Cape Sunset
Location: Cape Phrom Thep, follow the crowd to the viewing platform, there is a small path down that leads near the cape
Karon Beach is a great place to lie down, with a long coastline, a gentle beach, clear water and fine sand. The price of renting a lounge chair is very cheap, and the prices of various beverage stalls are also reasonable, which is very suitable for vacation.
Yeah very nice place and I love Karon Beach (Phuket Thailand 🇹🇭) Been there so many times.
A lovely large beach great for swimming, surfing and water activities. A great day out with lovely atmosphere and local food places. Recommended as a relaxing spot to unwind!
Serious personal version of Karon Beach Guide, please correct me if I am wrong. Location: I stayed at Tav Palm, 1 hour away from the airport, far away from the hustle and bustle of Patong, but also very romantic. Beach: Karon Beach is very beautiful, with many people, soft and delicate sand, and shiny white. The advantage of Tav Palm is that it is across the street to the beach, very close, and the sunset is unbeatable. Next to the hotel is a street of shops, with everything you need, don't worry, there is everything, cheap fruits, 711, and supermarkets, you can bargain when buying things, and some stores accept Alipay and WeChat. Food guide: Go south along the coast and there is a seafood restaurant 300 meters away. There is a marlin. I went in and saw that a fish costs 150 yuan, and a barbecued skewer costs 150 yuan. It is so expensive. I was about to leave. Then I thought, this is Thai baht. The three of us ordered a lot of squid, sea fish, beef, chicken wings, beer, fried rice, juice and salad. We didn’t finish the meal. The bill was 1,000 yuan, 200 yuan, 70 yuan per person. The consumption level is really not high. Other restaurants are also OK. Now let’s talk about hotel consumption: pool bar, cocktails, beer, pizza, pasta, 200 to 300 Zhu, hotel 257 has a BBQ buffet, 1400 Zhu for 2 people, and the usual restaurant buffet costs 500 Zhu per person, which is much cheaper than Sanya. If you are too lazy to go out, you can just stay in the hotel, because you exchanged 20,000 Zhu when you entered the country and don’t want to keep it. In the end, it was not enough, so you exchanged some more. Shopping: I didn't go to Wangquan, I went to Jiangxileng, I was dazzled by the sights and didn't know what to buy, taxis start at 400 1-day tour: There are only a few attractions, Egg Island, Emperor Coral, Bamboo Pipi, Similan, 007. Egg Island is a bit boring, there are some fish, and we also went to an elephant protection camp, it's a family trip, the children are too young, we went to Emperor, the sea view is unbeatable
Karon Beach on Phuket Island in Thailand is a 5 km long fine white sand beach. The northern end of the beach is usually less crowded, while the other end of the beach is more lively. Winter is the peak season in Phuket every year, with few waves and clear water. However, Karon Beach can experience dangerous swells and rip currents during the southwest monsoon.
Karon Beach is a must-go place on Phuket Island before going out to the sea. The beach here is slightly rough, but the area is large. The beach is full of large and small boats to pick up people to go out to sea. The sunrise here is very beautiful, the sea level is boundless, and the magnificent sight of the sun rising is really exciting.
【Karon Beach】 The third largest beach in Phuket and one of the longest beaches on the island, with high waves, is very suitable for surfing. ·Compared to Patong Beach, the water here is bluer, the sand is finer, there are not many water activities, and the seaside atmosphere is more relaxed. The main purpose of coming to Karon Beach is to play water sports, including jet skis and parasailing. You can bargain for them. Don't ride for a long time. We rented a double motorcycle for half an hour. Two people took turns riding. Each person's arms were sore after 15 minutes. It cost 1,600 baht. Parasailing 1,300 Transportation: Patong Beach to Karon Beach: It takes about 10 minutes to get there. It costs about 300-400 baht to take a taxi or tutu car. You can also rent a motorcycle and ride it yourself. The motorcycle costs 250 baht a day. Phuket Town to Karon Beach: It takes 45 minutes to get there by minibus. There is one bus every half an hour. The operating hours are 07:00-18:00, and the fare is about 30 baht. A taxi costs about 400-500 baht.
