I have been located mainly in Karon Beach hotels all these past years (just once in Kata Thani, but this hotel was wrong selection for me
) .
Never been guest of this place Karon Cafe, but can tell You some details about general things there:
- place is extremely close to the Karon action (if You look to the map on their homepage, it is located on a narrow street close to Karon main street, what is starting from traffic circle and directed to the right side on the map).
Therefore everything is very close, including shopping, bars, restaurants, street food stalls, and lovely Karon sand beach too.
- however I can bet that no sea view available from the hotel room window (as I remeber, You were looking also for this advantage in some earlier posting)
- due to extremely close location to the Karon action the place might be a bit noisy nighttime, but this is just my estimation since now, I don't know exactly
- if You walk by hotel location street to Karon main street (by map down direction) You will end up exactly on the front of one massage parlour where are TGs willing to give a service, currency exhange etc...
- opposite way , where narrow streets gather into one street going to laguna direction (upwards) by map, there is rather bigh night market for any kind of t-shirts, CDs, DVDs, footwear etc stuff...
I'm still extremely thankful that we were walking there one night, as I had a chance to purchase one Pink Floyd DVD (of course pirate) what I had been looking to purchase legally in Europe for 2-3 years without success
Writing all this down - I suddenly started to think - maybe I book for me room there for my next duty visit early 2006.
I will think about this once more later on...
