Karon View Point, Coastal viewpoint in Phuket, Thailand
Three distinct beaches stretch along the coastline from this elevated position: Kata Noi Beach, Kata Beach, and the extended Karon Beach towards the north.
The viewpoint underwent a name change from its previous designation as Kata Viewpoint, reflecting its current orientation towards the northern Karon Beach area.
Local residents know this location as Khao Saam Haad, which translates to Three Beaches Hill, representing the three visible shorelines from this observation point.
Visitors can access the viewpoint by following the road past Orchidacea Resort, with ample parking spaces and refreshment vendors available at the summit.
The observation point features a large pavilion where guests can photograph the Andaman Sea and spot Koh Poo island during clear weather conditions.

Phuket combines tropical beaches with Buddhist culture and natural areas. Thailand's largest island features coastal stretches like Patong, Kata and Karon for water sports and relaxation, while the interior holds temples such as Wat Chalong and the Big Buddha. Phuket Town's old quarter displays Sino-Portuguese architecture from the 19th century. The waters around Phuket enable excursions to Phang Nga Bay with its limestone formations and to the Phi Phi Islands. Markets offer local products and dishes from southern Thai cuisine. The island serves as a base for exploring the Andaman Sea and surrounding regions.
