Travel Tips:

We enjoyed a fantastic family vacation at the Karon Beach Resort in 2009, and found the staff to be helpful and very friendly, especially the two concierge, who went out of their way to make our stay at the resort extra special.

Breakfast was included in our room rate and it was excellent, there was a great selection to choose from including, cereals, tropical fruits, eggs made to order, bacon, sausages, baked beans, pastries and more. Get there early to get a table on the balcony as the views are breathtaking.

Located right next door to the resort is a money exchange booth and a mini market, ideal for buying extra water, chocolate Hershey bars and cheap alcohol.

Close by the resort is a fantastic range of restaurants that serve good, delicious food, at reasonable prices, a couple of our favourites are the Ruam Thep Inn which is set directly on the beach or across the road at the Kata Villa Steak and Seafood restaurant.

On the beach you will find a massage hut that is well worth a visit, a little further down the beach is the beach vendor who rents the sun beds and sells sandwiches, fresh fruit, shakes and cheap beer.
