After 4 nights in the Landmark Hotel Bangkok we're coming down to Phuket for 2 weeks at the Katathani Beach Resort. I haven't seen too much about this area on the forum and wonder if, as I'm useless at trying to guage distance on a map, if anyone can tell me how far it is from there to Karon and Patong? I appreciate it is a more "Sedate" resort than some of the others but wondered if there a few shops and bars in that area? Been to Bangkok and Hau Hin previously but reading the reports on this forum has got me wishing the time away. Thanks in anticipation - Rosie
There are some bars and shops in that area. It is as you said a little more sedate but it is a very nice location and good for a quiet relaxing holiday. They charge a little bit more to take you to and from the area but you have to expect that and you are looking at about a 10 to 12 minute drive to karon and a 20 to 25 minute approx drive to patong give or take depending on your mode of transport.
Thanks Darrin appreciate your reply. Looking for a chill out so sounds like just the area for us with the option livelier resorts fairly closeby. Rosie
