    Beautiful beach with a lot of wave-action. You need to be careful with kids because of the currents. Great place for long walks and fun in the water.

    The beach itself is beautiful. Unfortunately it is suffering from litter. But that’s because people are not throwing their rubbish away. There’s a really simple way to solve this but everyone needs to take responsibility for themselves and respect their environment.

    Great open air market, making it more bearable in the heat. Goods selection of items/souvenirs and food. Open Tuesday and Friday. Worth a visit. Don’t miss the donuts near the main entrance, they are delicious!

    Great range, great food and great atmosphere. Be warned the heat in the shopping area. Our 11 year old fainted (this has NEVER happened before despite multiple holidays to south east asia). The market is a great set up and the orange uniform makes it easy to feel relaxed and trust the hygiene and quality of the foods as it feels well organised and hygiene is enforced.

    Visited this small temple site with family. Quiet area, nice temple and sites to see.. on a Main Street and very close to Karon Beach.

    Easy to walk to from central Karon area and large traffic circle at beach.. smaller site so only need short visit. Well worth a look when staying here.

    I had no idea a public park could look so nice. This park is beautiful. Perfect place for a romantic walk. Also good to take children for a walk

    It was great to walk around the grounds, very theraputic and relaxing. Now it is quiet, so year can hear the monks chanting

    Pan and his family have set up a really cool bar that feels warm and inviting. The tunes are great and the food is banging, had the Tom yum - recommend highly (spicy).

    I went and had the YAYA full body massage, when I arrived, they gave me a refreshing juice and then brought me to the room. They allowed me to get changed into a gown and disposable underwear. They then washed and exfoliated my feet in warm water. We then moved onto the massage, you let them know how much pressure you want (soft, medium, hard) and what areas to focus on. I was so relaxed, the whole process was lovely. Modern and clean amenities. They also gave me a ginger tea afterwards. Very polite and professional staff

    While on holiday we attended this cooking school keen to experience authentic Thai cooking. Sally and Jim provided us with first hand knowledge and history behind Thai cooking and recipes. The food we cooked was absolutely delicious with recipes to take home. Even long after we left Sally and Jim quite happy to answer any questions I have about any recipe. This is an absolute must to put on your holiday itinerary. 👌👌

    The guys at Simons did a great job from the first measuring, the fitting and final try on.
    I had a two-piece suit and two shirts made here, pricing was good and the fit and finish of everything was exceptional.
    The guys here were very professional and helpful (even recommending local restaurants) and very friendly to.
    There was a good range of materials available, and plenty of catalogues to look at, so they could get you something if it wasn’t on the shelf.
    If you are in Kata do yourself a favour and get Simon to make you a suit (even if you don’t really need one)!

    We were looked after straight from the beginning… staff were very welcoming and friendly.
    Take advantage of the packed sets.. I had set A - highly recommend.
    My massage and spa treatment was very relaxing.
    We will be back !

    Thank you
