Rawai or Karon.

Why does man A live in Rawai and man B live in Karon?

[Mysterion]

Karon is mostly condos and apartments, more centrally located, and relatively close to patong in case you want easier access to active nightlife and better selection of international restaurants. Most amenities and Karon/kata beaches are in walking distance.

 

Rawai is at the farthest south end of the island, mostly houses, far more quiet, and far less touristy.You would likely need a car/motobike to get around.

I know two men, one of whom lives in Rawai and the other in Karon. Both are Spanish firefighters.

 

The one in Rawai is called José and the one in Karon is called Hose B.

Why does one live in Rawai and the other chose Karon?

Oh, that’s a sad story:

José and Hose B used to be life partners living together in Karon.

Unfortunately, a couple of years ago, José went to Rawai one day by himself and he’s been trapped there ever since because he can’t make it back through Chalong Circle.

Who would go through Chalong Circle to get to Karon from Rawai? A fool? 

 

To somewhat answer the op's question; do you like apples or oranges? One is not like the other! I first stayed in Kata and Karon 13 years ago, then lived about nine months in Patong. I've lived in Rawai for over 12 years now. I like it here. Not so crowded, at least it used to be not so crowded, too many Chinese tour buses and a LOT of development of the past 12 years! But Chinese tour buses are everywhere these days! You do need your own transportation to get around though. Well you do pretty much anywhere on the island actually! Karon is, or was more touristy will hotels like the Hilton. Now they just keep building more everywhere! Kind of sucks, as does the traffic!

He should get a road map, there are other routes.
