Karen? Kata? Silly and unclear Karen Observation Deck and Kata Observation Deck are not clear, we often mix and use, in fact, should be the same place. The reason for this confusion is that the observation deck is located in Kata but the name is Karen (probably because of the possibility of seeing Karon Beach). Because the location is on the mountain, it is very troublesome to come over. It is recommended to take a taxi or report to the group. If the weather is good, you can see Kata Beach in the distance and Karon Beach farther away. The view is good.
