Karon Viewpoint is located on the border of the Rawai district and Karon, and on Karon is the Kata district. So, to get to this viewpoint you need to go either from the south, from Rawai, or from Kata.
The road is a mountain pass, twisted into a small serpentine asphalt road, passing through the jungle. Man has long set foot on these trails, so cafes and restaurants with panoramic views are not uncommon.
From viewpoint you can see three beaches of the west coast of Phuket: Kata Noi, Kata and Karon.
Viewpoint is marked by a characteristic tower where I was lucky enough to wait out for the rain. At the time when lightning was fired into the ocean and deafening thunder rolled. Definitely, this is a more impressive sight than a beautiful view on a typical sunny day, which dazzles on postcards “I Love Phuket”.
On the Rawai-Kata Pass lies a treasure trove of various activities: Elephant walk through the jungle; Quadra cycle riding; Small contact zoo; Panoramic restaurants and bars; etc.
