Karon Village Hotel

The room floor has a lot of dust and is not very clean. The blanket cover had red blood stains in spots. The bed is a little hard. Breakfast price is separate from room price. For the trip to stay here, it was considered a very pleasant surprise. I didn't think I'd find a room that wasn't as good as this. There was a swimming pool, good at level 1.

Everything is fine! Convenient everywhere, better view of the mountains.

I was at the hotel in November 2023 as a “package” tour from Pegasus. I chose it as the cheapest one offered on Karon Beach. The location of the hotel is not very good, it is located on the second line, but to get to the beach you need to bypass the large hotel on the first line, so the walk to the beach takes about 15-20 minutes. To get to the beach, you need to turn left at the exit from the hotel and walk along the road (there is no pedestrian sidewalk) until the intersection with the traffic light, where you can wait for the green light and safely cross the road to the other side, at this intersection you need to turn right and go to the next intersection, There, after crossing another road, you immediately get to the beach. You will be taken to the part of Karon that is located closer to Kata Beach, I liked this part more than from Patong, it is deeper and cleaner. On the way to the beach you will find many cafes, pop-up shops, fruit shops, pharmacies (the most profitable one is around the bend on the right side, not far from the fruit, it’s called something like H2O), currency exchangers (the most profitable one was the first one you came across after turning at the intersection on the left side of the road) , massage parlors, retail shops, 7eleven. If you turn right when leaving the hotel, you can walk to a Buddhist temple, on the territory of which a night market is organized on Tuesdays and Fridays. If you are not going to rent a vehicle for transportation, then I recommend downloading the Bolt taxi app (you can use it to communicate with the driver in Russian, it is the least expensive and don’t be surprised when the number and model of the car changes during the call, this is normal ). For communication, I recommend buying a dtac (ditak) SIM card at the airport called Happy Tourist for 600 baht for 15 days 30 GB, then it will be difficult to find without cheating. You can pay for a SIM card with a card from the Union Pay payment system, I personally had one from RosselkhozBank, I paid everywhere except 7eleven, for some reason it didn’t work there. As for the hotel itself, I can say that it’s mediocre, but I’m not particularly picky. The room had a toilet with a shower, and the shower does not separate, just water spreads around the toilet. Central air conditioning, a fairly spacious balcony with a table and chairs (where we usually ate), two beds, a table with chairs in the room itself, a bedside table, a “rare” TV, a refrigerator, a wardrobe, a safe in it (I don’t know if it’s paid or not) used), hair dryer, lights in the room can be turned on and off both at the entrance and near the beds. Alcohol, which will definitely cost a fee, the water in the refrigerator, the hotel guide told us that it was also paid, but I wouldn’t really believe her, the girl was more interested in selling excursions and didn’t tell us anything at all about the concept of the hotel, and besides, she incorrectly named the days of the week of work night market. Wi-Fi in the hotel is free, but very weak, it almost didn’t reach our room. And we lived in the building farthest from the pool on the 4th floor. I reflected everything I saw from the balcony and from the front door in my photos.
