Tips from locals
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.

Buddhist temple, every Tuesday and Saturday there's a market on its territory.
Буддийский храм на Кароне (живописное место с видом на горы). Утром и днем здесь очень тихо, можно сделать красивые фото. По вторникам и субботам с 17:00 здесь шумный ночной рынок.
