An Overview of Karon Beach If your mental image of a holiday in Phuket involves long stretches of pure, white sand and sapphire waters, then Karon is the perfect destination for you. At 3 km, it is considered as among the island's longest beaches. While the area has experienced development over the years, it still proves to be a relaxing destination, because unlike other parts of Phuket's shores, Karon Beach is relatively quiet. It faces west, allowing tourists to bask in glorious sunsets during their stay. Getting Around The beach is 20 km from the town and some 40 km from the nearest International Airport. If you wish to tour Phuket's Karon Beach and see the different landmarks lined up along the shore, the cheapest way would be to rent a motorbike. To visit neighboring beaches and island attractions, you can take a taxi or the iconic tuk-tuk. Alternatively, you may also hop on one of the public buses that leave Karon every 20 minutes. Activities There are facilities for paintball and go-kart racing in the immediate neighborhood. If you want something unusual, you can go elephant trekking to discover the lush area that surrounds the beach, while riding what could be the country's favorite animal. Scuba diving, snorkeling, and cruising are also among the things you can try. Lodging Karon, being a very popular tourist destination, will never stop giving you accommodation options. The question that should be asked now is, which one will help deliver the perfect tropical getaway that you've been waiting to experience. There are, of course, luxury hotels for those who want to be pampered, while those who want nothing but the bare necessities find budget hotels as the best choice. There are also ongoing promos that you can book early on during your search for a Karon Beach accommodation, like Honey Resort's Hot Deal promo, which can be used for stays until August 31, 2014. This offer slashes 10% off regular room rates for a minimum stay of 3 consecutive nights and includes free breakfast and welcome drinks. Food Phuket Town, one of the most popular tourist destinations on the island, is a great place for both sightseeing and tasting the different flavors of Thailand. But if you can't bear to part with the lovely beach, Karon also has establishments that offer authentic Thai food, among other international dishes. Who knows, you might even find a variety of your favorite local dish being sold on the beach during your holiday in Phuket. --- DirectWithHotels is in the business of making selling online simple and more profitable for hotels.
