www.phuketdining.com http Karon Beach Phuket is one of the most pristine beaches in Phuket; the sheer beauty of this beach is simply amazing. One of the best features of this beautiful Phuket beach is how wide open it is and no matter whether its high or low season you will never feel crowded.During the monsoon season the surf can get pretty rough, along with the currents so be careful during these periods. If you like to walk the beach Karon beach is one of the best locations; one of the best times to go is during sunrise and sunset, so dont forget your camera. I took video from several different locations on the beach, so this video was taken around center beach or just in front of the Movenpick resort, please check out my other Karon beach videos for more.
