Karon Lake is perched on a picturesque hilltop overlooking Wiset Road, 83100, Thailand
The Lake is surrounded by Wiset Road on 3 sides and beachfront along the other with Karon Park The annual festival of Loy Krathong is celebrated here on 31st October/1st November. At this time everyone goes to the closest river or lake to send a floating offering, hoping for good luck in the year to come.On opposing sides of the lake, are 2 boat shaped structures, with a view point and seating. These are know as Memorial Boats, not sure what, perhaps they are memorials for the Tsunami or used during Loy Krathong.This is a very popular place with joggers and people just out having a stroll around enjoying the tranquility in the shade provided by the trees around the lake. It is also a good place to watch the amazing sunsets from.Keep an eye out along the beach side of the lake for a small bronze statue. The statue represents a Thai manual worker, in traditional clothing.We did enjoy walking around here, it take maybe 20 to 25 minutes, during our recent stay in Karon.
Its good place to walk and relax.. there is trees and ship made in lake.. the place is front of karon’s beach.. its easy do find..
