🏖Island Hopping
1. Booked the Lightning No. 7 boat type, pick up from the hotel, and can also drop off at a designated place on the return trip;
2. The snorkeling mask comes with a disposable mouthpiece, and beach socks are also provided (shoes are not allowed on the boat and the islands);
3. First go to the island for fun and photos, then snorkel🤿 without getting your hair wet for photos;
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
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!
Phuket’s Karon Beach is its second-largest beach with a three-kilometre length. The whole beach is open to the public, unlike some others where certain parts can only be accessed by guests at resorts occupying that stretch. The beach has pristine sands and blue waters, making it a very photogenic location. Its larger size helps in accommodating larger crowds without the beach seeming too busy. Karon Beach is about 20 kilometres from Phuket Town, and 8 kilometres from Patong Beach. In fact, Karon is situated right between the two busiest beaches, Kata Beach and Patong Beach.
Perfect beach location between Patong and Kata. We had there a wonderful time. Cool vibe, not so busy and noisu like Patong.
Stretching along Phuket's coastline, Karon Beach unveils a paradise of soft sands and azure waves. As the sun kisses the Andaman Sea, beachgoers bask in the golden glow. Water activities abound, from snorkeling in vibrant coral gardens to serene paddleboarding. Along the vibrant promenade, Thai street vendors offer delectable treats. Karon Beach, a harmonious blend of relaxation and adventure, paints a quintessential tropical escape on the canvas of Phuket.
🏖️🌊 Karon Beach stole my heart! The crystal-clear waters and soft sandy shores were pure paradise. Perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and unforgettable beach moments. 🌴☀️ #KaronBeach #BeachBliss
