Khao Lak Trips & Tours

Head north of Phuket along the dazzling stretch of Andaman Coastline, through Phang-Nga province, and two hours later, you’ll stumble across Khao Lak. And when we say stumble, we really mean it, for this little slice of beach nirvana is so wonderfully easy-going, it most certainly doesn’t shout about itself. There is a town of the same name, but the area ‘Khao Lak’ is really a collection of beaches dotted up and down the coast. The accessible are ideal for those looking to escape Phuket’s glitz and glam but still crave somewhere for a cocktail or two, whilst the more remote, slivers of blindingly-white sand tucked between forests and tangled mangroves, make the ultimate escape. Many also come here to explore the little-visited Surin and Similan Island Marine National Parks, home to some of the country’s most impressive dive sites and pretty damn good for snorkelers too.
