Karon Beach is located in the south of Patong, with a small hill in between. Compared to Patong Beach, Karon Beach has a longer coastline, softer sand, and clearer water. However, the waves are bigger than Patong, so swimming is not suitable for the whole year. This is also a high-risk area for drowning accidents, so Karon Beach does not have sun loungers or umbrellas, nor water activities such as parasailing and banana boats. Occasionally, surfers will surf here. There are many star hotels near Karon, just across the road from the beach, suitable for tourists who like a quiet vacation. The shopping and dining areas are scattered compared to Patong, and there are convenience stores and night markets along the beach. Karon Beach and the surrounding areas are public areas, no tickets are required, and open to tourists all day. At night, there will be sparkling fishing fires in the distance, giving people a sense of peace and romance on the beach.

Phuket Town is located in the central part of Phuket, about a 30-minute drive from Phuket Airport and a 45-minute drive from Patong. This is where the Phuket government is located, while Patong is the tourist center, and the two have different atmospheres. In Phuket Town, you can get an in-depth look at the local way of life and taste cheap and delicious food. Phuket Town includes residential areas, commercial areas, schools, and other areas, but not all areas are worth visiting.
Early Chinese immigrants once gathered in Phuket Town, and the old street preserves nearly a century of Portuguese-style architecture, which is one of the shooting locations for the Thai movie "Seasons Change." These buildings have been protected by the government. On the old street, you can find shops selling traditional Peranakan-style clothing, and some old houses have been converted into bars and guesthouses, suitable for fresh tourists or photography enthusiasts who like to look for the shadows of old times in Phuket Town.
In addition to the old street, Phuket Town also has a viewing point located on Rang Hill. On the hill, besides dense vegetation and negative oxygen ions, you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Phuket Town and the east coast. At night, Rang Hill is a good place for local couples to date, and there are several famous restaurants on the hill, suitable for enjoying the night view of Phuket. During the day, when you go up to Rang Hill, you also have the chance to see groups of macaques. You can feed them with peanuts, but please do not touch them. If you are injured, you need to go to the hospital for timely vaccination.

Maya Bay, also known as Lover's Beach, is located on the west coast of Koh Phi Phi island. As part of the Phi Phi Island National Park, it gained fame after being featured in the Hollywood movie "The Beach" in 2000. The water of Maya Bay is crystal clear and the beach is white and delicate, making it the perfect setting for many classic images of Koh Phi Phi. However, unlike other tropical seas, this area has no coral and it's rare to see tropical fish. Therefore, Maya Bay is best for swimming and taking photos.

The Swallow Cave, also known as the Viking Cave, is located in the northeastern corner of Ko Phi Phi Leh Island. This was due to the abundance of natural swallow nests found in the area. The cave is 60 meters high and can only be accessed by climbing a bamboo ladder to harvest the nests. Early European pirates came here to explore and left graffiti of the Viking ship on the cliff. Nowadays, the Swallow Cave is only open for external visits, and approaching the cave, especially at night, is extremely dangerous. Local fishermen believe that outsiders may steal their swallow nests, and they may use firearms to resist if they are caught.
