Condos for Rent in Karon

How much does it cost to rent a condo in Karon

Karon lists 62 condos for long-term rent. Entry rate: ฿15,000 a month — higher than the ฿10,000 floor common in most island zones — and the median across all bedrooms is ฿27,000, 8% above the island-wide condo median of ฿25,000. Half the supply is studios: 31 of 62 listings (50%) at a ฿20,000 median. One-bedroom units (20 listings, 32%) median ฿31,000, and two-bedroom units (10 listings, 16%) median ฿62,500. A single three-bedroom outlier lists at ฿300,000 — worth noting, but not a budget reference point.

For comparison, Chalong's median runs lower at ฿24,000, and Nai Yang's sits at ฿20,000. Karon still undercuts Patong and Kamala (฿35,000 each) at a comparable distance to the sea.

What the rent includes, and what costs extra

The standard: a twelve-month lease at a fixed rate, a two-month deposit, and the first month paid at signing. 58 of Karon's 62 condos are fully furnished, with 3 more partly furnished — 98% of the supply furnished in some form.

Electricity and water are metered and billed on top of rent; the building's common-area fee (pool, lift, security) is normally the owner's cost. Seven listings — about 11% — are dual-listed for rent and sale; our renting-vs-buying guide runs the maths on that kind of deal, and the full long-term rental catalogue covers every other zone for comparison.

Who Karon actually suits for a long lease

Karon is one of the few condo markets on the island with genuine beach proximity: among the 53 of 62 condos we can pin precisely by project, the nearest beach averages 0.8 km away, and none sit closer than 0.5 km — several times closer than Chalong's 4.5 km, and on par with Patong.

That suits a tenant who wants daily beach access without Patong or Kamala's price tag — Karon Beach runs longer and quieter, and draws surfers in the low season. Half the market is studios, so the zone fits solo renters or a couple better than a family. Apartments in Karon are the neighboring type, at a ฿36,650 median, and the Karon district guide covers the beach and local infrastructure in more depth.
