Fear and Loathing in Phuket
Hi everyone K - We are currently sunning ourselves on the beautiful karon beach at Phuket. Phuket is a very touristy destination. It is like a larger version of Hua Hin, and we aren't even at the main Beach in Patong! The beach here is gorgeous with ...

Ahh, the azure Andaman Sea . . .
I like the vacation scene here at Karon Beach. Sure, it's overdeveloped (think Ocean City, Maryland for those of you in the east) but I have formed a serious relationship with this resort destination area, to this beach, to this goes-on for-miles view out ...
Phuket Town and Central Festival shopping centre
... really is and I am glad that I did not stay at the Phuket Town! Those bus tickets were not that expensive, Karon beach - Phuket Town - Karon beach 60 baht. Phuket town - shopping center - Phuket town 20baht. So about 2€ for couple of hours in ...
Mom Trih's - what a treat
... nbsp; Oops. We can have the front table if we finish by 7.30. It’s already 6.30 and this is one of Phuket’s best restaurants. We’re in no rush so we’re seated in the second row. Oh, the sacrifices J. ...
Sick days...
Am nächsten Tag hatten wir eigentlich vor, endlich nach Phuket Town zum Vegetarian Festial zu fahren. Dort wollten wir eine der Paraden mit ihren verrückten Piercings miterleben und uns durch die veganen Essensstände schlemmen. Alles war vorbereitet. ...
Rainy days...

Flucht aus der Großstadt - Sprung ins warme Wasser

Karon Beach
... not to do any day trips from Khao Lak, but instead headed down to Phuket Town by local bus (90B, 3h) where we grabbed a taxi to Karon Beach (350B, 20min). Kristina and I were at Karon Beach 8 years ago, when it was a nice sleepy beach side town. Then, we ...
Beach life in Thailand
We had a hot and sticky bus ride into Phuket and when we were given the opportunity to share a taxi from Phuket to Karon Beach we jumped at it. We were shared the ride with a friendly man from Holland. On arrival we checked in at Karon Cafe and they lead ...
Karon Beach

Arrived in Karon Beach, Phuket

Patong, one vote for, one against

Down to Phuket
... a lot culturally, basically we wanted some down time by a nice beach. I'd researched a bit and figured we'd stay in Karon beach, which was supposed to be pretty quiet, but close to some other beaches in case we discovered that it was too much or ...
Sunny days...
... Spaß! Also sind wir noch nach Patong gebraust, dem nächsten Strand nördlich von Karon. Patong wird nicht umsonst als "Ballermann von Phuket" bezeichnet. Deutlich mehr Touristen, dementsprechend auch deutlich mehr Bars, Restaurants und Leute, die ...
