Just south of Patong lie Karon Beach and its smaller northern counterpart, Karon Noi. Bunches of hotels, restaurants, tailors, dive operators, and gift shops line the main beach strip to serve the influx of tourists, though Karon is also home to a small community of local artists, who live and work in a cluster of huts and galleries.
