Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The views from this spot are impressive, but I wouldn't suggest that you go out of your way to find your way here.
Facilities are pretty much non existent, there is a dodgy photo op [at a cost of course] with a chained eagle, if that floats your boat!
Many of the tours around Phuket will take you here but frankly, the views are at least as good at the Big Buddha, and there is more to see and do there.
5-10 minutes max here.

The area itself seems somewhat neglected but worth stopping and then the climb to the viewing area to enjoy the wonderful vistas along the coastline in either direction and out to the ocean and islands. Lush tropical vegetation descends the hillside to the beach areas. We didn't venture to the snack stands or stallholder areas, preferring to enjoy a snack break at Rawai.

This is a lovely spot to look out north towards Kata Noi, Kata & Patong beaches. It's worth the short detour to get your photos before moving on.

I arrived there by pure luck! The views are gorgeous! Very close to Kata Beach (where I was staying). It is simply a place to get amazing views. There are no restaurants but small vendors.

There was a woman at view point with a Sea Eagle tied up by rope on its leg! . When I said something I thought she was going to harm me!
No one should be allowed to tie up a wild animal like that for a profit.

The taxi leaves you right at the view-point, so there is minimal walking involved.
The views are stunning on a clear day and it's easy to do it in 15 minutes.

Is there a walking track to the viewpoint from karon?

I wouldn’t say there was a walking track, although we used a vehicle as part of a tour to get there and it was a distance from the town of Karon.
We never looked into a walking track but I’d suggest taking a vehicle to this point.

It is just a view point with some steep stairs to the top. We made a quick stop when passing from Naiharn beach. In my opinion it makes no sense just going there for a look. Guess we stayed for 10-15min max.

Возможно ли догулять до/с точки с коляской с Карона. Есть ли тротуары?

Полностью поддерживаю Ирину, гулять с коляской до этого места с Карона вам точно не понравится )))

Hi all, I've heard a lot of stray dogs hang around areas like this. I have a big dog phobia but am trying not to let that ruin a bucket list trip to Thailand. Should I avoid Karon viewpoint altogether, or are there ways to avoid the dogs?

We saw two dogs sleeping at the very top of the view point. We visited early in the morning, there were no other visitors and the dogs were more than happy sleeping in the sun. They didn't approach us or even give us a second glance. They certainly wouldn't deter us from returning or recommending the attraction to others. Enjoy!

Not sure about Le Meridian itself but I have been to Phuket 8 times and there is an enormous amount of western food venues available in general....you won't have to look far at all !

No, they are provided in a beach bag daily for your use! very convenient. On the odd occasion it may not be replaced just ask one of the many eager to please staff!
