Kata or Karon beach

[Equanimous]

Guys,
Any of you have stayed overthere. I was in Patong last year and found the area a bit noisy at night. So I was thinking about Kata or Karon beach. But are there any guest friendly hotels there ?
Thanks a lot

Where in patong did you stay ? There are quiet hotels at night, you just gotta know where they are. Plenty on Soi Nanai for example are quiet as they are much further from the action.

Hi,
Do you have a few recommendations. I was at Ban Lamai. charged 500 bath joiner fee, and the room was noisy (very thin wall).
Thanks for any info.

Many hotels that are guest friendly can be found in the Accomadation section of this forum.

I used to stay in a hotel on Soi Nanai call Paripas Mansion - 5/600 per night(low season) and guest friendly - no charge for any ladies.
If you stay in a hotel like this it is ver quiet as it's far from all the bars and nightclubs but the downside is you need motorbike taxi's or tuk tuk to get to & from at night. But plenty of motorbike taxi men can be found on Soi Nanai at night. There are many other places around this area you can stay also.

ps..they also do motorbike hire which is worth it for travelling to the beaches in the day, other than that hire a jeep.

Karon has the advantage to be closer to Patong. I think though that Kata, espacially in the middle section is one of the best beaches, anyway my favorite on the island.

Problem is, that it is not so quiet at all. On the beach of Kata it is marvelous, but the road, luckily seperated by the club Med from the beach is very noisy. For the moment they are building in Kata everywhere.

In Karon, the road lies just between the beach and the hotels. There are even securitymen, helping the hotelguests to cross the road.

So the beach IS quiter, for your accomodation, you have to choose carefully!

For quiet near Patong check out Hilltop Hotel..

Last trip we stayed at the Patong Lodge just on the outskirts...it's about a 10 min walk from the centre...clean and cheap.

You can stay at the KataNoi Club Bungalows, just the dead end of Kata Noi. Very (guest) friendly. Can park motorcycle just in front of your bungalow. Very good for swimming and cliff walking, even tanning nude and swimming just over the rocks. Starts at 600 Bt for bungalow with fan.

Patong Pearl Resotel. Right in the middle of Patong, five minutes walk to all the action, but totally peaceful and quiet inside, especially the bungalows and the pool area which are at the back of the hotel.

it is just in the back of tapkaew, no seaview from the bungalows, therefore a little cheaper ( and you don´t have to walk up the hill)
