Karon (Kata) for condo buyers: prices, beaches, sea and checked projects
A beach on the western coast, south of Patong and north of Kata. It can be considered for a family holiday if a beach scenario is needed. The convenience of living there depends on the specific address and the daily routes.
What this page shows, from our own data only: the asking-price median of our listing sample where the area has at least 5 area-tagged listings, the beaches tagged to the area with car times and calm-sea months, the condo projects we have fact-checked here, and what our Russian area guide notes about the place. It ranks nothing.

Asking prices in Karon
Prices in our sample: fewer than 5 of the 54 area-tagged listings in our sample are in Karon, so we publish no median for it.
Island-wide, the median asking price of the sample is THB 3,750,000 (1,129 listings, 19 April – 24 October 2026); bedrooms, budget bands and every area with enough listings: Phuket property prices.
The Land Office fees are computed on the Treasury's official assessed value, not on the asking price. The register is kept by administrative district — Mueang Phuket, Kathu and Thalang — and no committed file of ours maps Karon to one, so this page assigns no official rate to the area; the matched official rate of every checked project is on its own page below.
