Dino Park Mini Golf

Dino Park is a mini-golf setup, but with a difference. The course features a man-made mini-volcano which erupts on cue every hour. Various pyrotechnics and strange Dinosaur-like noises surround the course, which naturally involves a dinosaur or two. Open all day, Dinopark is actually better in the evening when you can see and appreciate all the effects in their full glory. It's one of Kata and Karon's trade landmarks and a great spot to watch all the action on the street while enjoying a drink in the cave/jungle setting. The food’s not bad here, too.

Opening Hours: Daily from 10:00 – 24:00 best enjoyed in the cooler evening hours.
Location: On the ‘border’ between Kata and Karon Beach, next to Marina Phuket Resort

Wat Suwan Khiri Khet

(Karon Temple)

Karon covers a rather large area but the village’s temple is close to everything important in the area, including hotels and shopping facilities. All the same, it still manages to keep a peaceful atmosphere, just off the busy Patak Road. Visitors will spot a few interesting statues including the two giant snakes acting as guardians of the beautiful ubosot (the temple’s main hall), and many Buddha statues, images and paintings (the black Buddha statue inside the building is quite unusual and hardly seen anywhere else) as well as colourful statues of monsters (or ‘yak’ in Thai) from Thai folklore.

Opening Hours: Daily
Location: On Patak Road, close to Karon centre, about half a kilometer from the beach

Karon Market

A trip to a local village market can be so much fun. Visitors are sure to spot some unusual products that they have never seen before. Likewise, going to a talad nat (community market) is a way to shop for the best bargain nick-knack items such as T-shirts, CD’s and DVD’s, jeans, hair accessories, handicrafts, fresh and cooked food.
