Karon Beach is a long stretch of sand on the coast of Phuket, Thailand's largest island, which is connected to the mainland by a bridge. The sand is about 60 m from Thavorn Palm Beach Resort Phuket, and the beach has a relaxed feel, with food stalls and small shops along the road behind it. It suits guests who want a beach holiday with easy access to the rest of the island.

Within a short drive you can reach Big Buddha Phuket, a large white Buddha statue on the hills near Chalong, and Chaithararam Temple, also called Wat Chalong, which is 4.7 km away. Kata Beach is the next bay along, and Patong Beach, 5.6 km away, is busier and livelier. Phuket FantaSea, a cultural theme park with evening shows, is 13.5 km away, and Phuket International Airport is 30.7 km away by road from the resort.

A good day starts with a morning on Karon Beach, then a visit to Big Buddha and Wat Chalong, followed by an afternoon at Kata Beach. In the evening, the Karon Night Market is a short walk from the resort, and it is a simple way to end a day spent around the island.
