Thailand is the most popular tourist destination in South-East Asia, and for good reasons: it's exotic, yet safe and mostly hassle-free. Phuket, located about 90 minutes by plane from Bangkok – and accessible by direct flights to/from major cities around the world – is Thailand’s largest island. Long dubbed the “Pearl of the Andaman”, Phuket retains its quintessential Thainess, with a culture and history all of its own, propagated by a carefree people famed for their smiles and fun-seeking “sanook” attitude.

About 45 minutes from Phuket International Airport, 20 minutes from Phuket Town, and only 10 minutes from Patong, the heart of Phuket’s world-famous nightlife, Karon Beach is in an ideal location. Within a 30 minutes' drive to two 18-hole golf courses, Karon is in the center of it all, with one of the longest stretches of pristine beach in Phuket, famous for its squeaky, white sand. Despite its conveniences and full range of activities and facilities, Karon Beach is much less hectic than the island's other beaches. Its seaside promenade features a number of shops, seafood restaurants and bars.
