New Year's Eve in Phuket with a 6-Year-Old: Karon Beach or Patong for Fireworks?
Hi all,
We're a couple traveling with our 6-year-old son and will be spending New Year's Eve in Phuket.
We've currently booked a resort near Karon Beach (about a 10-15 minute walk from the beach), but our little one is absolutely crazy about fireworks, so we're trying to figure out the best place to celebrate New Year's Eve.
A few things about us:
- We're not interested in nightclubs or parties.
- We'd prefer to enjoy the fireworks from a public beach or family-friendly area.
- Being able to see a good fireworks display is the main priority.
- We don't mind crowds, but we'd like to avoid anything too chaotic or adult-oriented.
My question is:
Is Karon Beach a good choice for NYE fireworks, or would Patong be significantly better?
I can still cancel the current resort and book somewhere in Patong if it's worth the switch, but I'm wondering whether the extra crowds, traffic, and nightlife scene would outweigh the benefits, especially with a young child.
Would love to hear from anyone who has experienced New Year's Eve in Phuket with kids.
Thanks!
