Northern Karon Beach

Most of the hotels here are found just to the south of the round-about while the guesthouses are clustered around the seedy Soi Islandia.

A new resort with a youthful vibe

542/1 Patak Road, Karon
T: (076) 39 6611-5; F: (076) 39 6618

We snickered at the Sugar Palm brochure with photos of gorgeous 20-somethings rough-housing in the pool and a description that alleges this new resort is ultra-hip, but it's true: the atmosphere here ... Read the full review of Sugar Palm Karon Resort.

Welcome Inn

Very good value in a bit of a sleazy area

526/21-22 Patak Rd, Karon Beach
T: (076) 286 500; F: (076) 286 501

This is the heart of northern Karon's sleazy area and we wouldn't actively choose to stay here, but if, for some reason you are, the Welcome Inn is a decent place to rest your head. At the top end of ... Read the full review of Welcome Inn.

Karon Beach

Central Karon is dominated by large hotels, but budget travellers should head to Luang Pho Chuan Road which has a few good spots to stay.

Casa Brazil

Top spot

9 Luang Pho Chuan Rd, Soi 1, Karon Beach
T: (076) 396 317;

This whimsically colourful place does double-duty as an art gallery. The minimalistic but cosy rooms all have a mini-fridge, cable TV, hot water showers and a private balcony. They haven't gone ... Read the full review of Casa Brazil.
