Hi Tony we got back to the UK 10 days ago from pa tong, spent 2 hrs on Karon beach and the Rubbish IE plastic bottles, beer cans and cigarette butt's was apparent. The "canal" at start of beach by road was disgusting. I'm not knocking them but there was hell of a lot of Russians. Our wife's enjoyed Paradise beach, very clean and beautiful. Spent 2 minutes on Patong beach as we spent time on excursions. Thankyou for your videos on Otop area as we were based at courtyard. Beautiful country beautiful people ❤
We are at the Dusit on Bang Tao beach and there are plenty of nationalities including Russians and Europeans and I must say the Russians I have met (some of which I know from previous years) are very courteous and respectful
Just returned from 10 days at Kata beach; it was totally covered by sunbeds. Hardly any open beach spots. In places the sunbeds were 6 rows deep. It was my 6th trip over 35 years and it was a shock to see. There were jelly fish all over Kata beach too.
thanks tony for your vids and blogs ...u make sure your personal life is more important than anything else . will be there in 10 days for the standard easter trip ...and the heat is unbearable but that is thailand .. thanx again
Thanks for the great video Tony Tony Tony, we are currently at the Dusit in the middle of Bang Tao beach and there were some jellies today around 5m from the shore line
I have just returned from my two weeks vacation in Karon. I can confirm it is hot. A bit too hot. The humidity was very high, and there was almost no wind. I saw a few jellyfish, but not that meny. Jelly fish is not a "problem". They are a part of sea life. They just follow the ocean currents. As far as I know the smaller translucent ones are harmless. Some with a yellowish/red center should be avoided. They can sting. But it could be different in Thailand
Hi Tony, I enjoyed watching a longer video for a change! Once again very informative. BTW you walked past a sign regarding some information to do with long tail boats around 22:37 into the video. 😊👍
😂😂😂 Yeah I spotted it watching the video back will try and cover that fact on a later video as it does seem there are long tail boats from Karon beach 🙂
Spent 3 weeks with the familie on karon in february...could not recognize it...hardly any beach left...all sunbeds etc...not going again...defenitly not the karon it was the previous 20 years.😢
That's incredible that they would allow things like that in a place that is 100% dependent on tourism, you'd think they'd enforce the highest possible standards to keep it nice, clean and safe. The locals especially should be concerned about leaving the best possible impression

Thanks for the vlog Tony.
You do look a bit tired at the end of the video, understandably :)
But good info all the way.

Last time I was there in 2017 the police had got rid of all those beach chairs. Seems like they are all back now.
The Russians has destroyed Karon and the hole Phuket. DO NOT visit Phuket😢
Wow that walk made me feel hot 🥵.
