Karon Beach

Karon Beach, featuring a long stretch of squeaky white sand, is less hectic than Patong but still offers a full range of facilities, dining and activities. While it's a fast-growing area, Karon is spread out and rarely feels crowded.

Nearby, on the beach road leading to Kata, is the football stadium, which hosts both local and international sporting events.
