Karon beach was dead. Karon is in between Patong and Kata. Patong is of course the most happening. It's where we stayed in. Kata was not bad too when we went to look see look see in our rented car. Hee..that's the car we rented. A Red Honda Jazz for 1000baht a day. We took only a day to travel to Phuket town, den Kata and Karon den back to Patong. It was fun :)
