With so many gorgeous beaches that you can find across Thailand, it will be a dilemma to choose which to visit on your next vacation. Well, we highly recommend Karon Beach. Situated on the west coast of Phuket, Karon Beach boasts its clear blue water and golden sand as well as a quiet and friendly atmosphere. Indulge in tranquillity as the only sound you can hear is the sound of the waves. Enjoy the sunset over a drink. Other than the beach, it is also worth it to get lost on the streets of Karon. Visit Wat Karon that is located close by, where you can observe religious ceremonies. You can also marvel at the two dragon statues in front of the temple. Another interesting thing to do is exploring the forest of Karon. Visit ATV Karon and they will provide you with a vehicle and you can drive along the path.
