Khao Lak is located on Thailand’s southwest coast, about 1 hour north of Phuket Island. Khao Lak showcases long powdery white sandy beaches, virgin forests and three national parks along the shoreline made up of mangroves, waterfalls and jungle.

Step on the sand in Khao Laks best beach, Pak Weep Beach, which is known for being incredibly relaxing and laid back. Book a canoe tour to see hidden gems while floating around the village. Snorkelling is a must, with vibrant coral reefs and breath-taking marine life. Head out to see Phang Nga Bay by long tail boat and experience the stunning unique karst formations, green mangrove forests and James Bond Island. Speedboat, kayak and private boat hires are on offer, or for a thrill, try some exhilarating white-water rafting. Take the time to visit the turtles at the sea turtle conservation centre, which is just outside Khao Lak and makes for a great trip. You could also make your way down to Tsunami Museum which gives a fascinating insight into past tsunamis in the region.

Khao Lak is the perfect relaxing holiday to get away from it all. Families, couples or water sports fans can find the perfect holiday here. There are a fabulous collection of hotels, resorts, spas and beachside villas available that offer both self-catering and all inclusive to make your stay one to remember.
