Holidays in Khao Lak

Deciding to spend your holidays in Khao Lak is a superior choice.

Just an hour or so north of popular Phuket is this much smaller, more intimate and secluded dream resort. Originally put on the tourist map by keen divers, the small village of Khao Lak has grown into a select and laid-back holiday destination.

As you'd expect, Khao Lak holidays are all about the beach, the sea and the stunning forest-blanketed hills. Competent diver or not, even swimming these heavenly shores brings you face-to-face with fantastic fish and colourful coral.

If this sounds right up your snorkel, then no Khao Lak holiday would be complete without a trip to the Similan or Surin Islands, famous for their fabulous underwater worlds. Or stay on dry land and explore the tropical forest of the National Park behind Khao Lak.

Although within easy reach of Phuket, Khao Lak is far more low-key with only a few restaurants and cafes, shops and stalls in the town centre. Ample for a few trinkets to take home, a delicious meal and quiet drink as the sun sets over the distant islands dotting the calm, crystal clear Andaman Sea.

That is, if you can actually tear yourself away from your hotel. Check out the colourful gardens of the Khao Lak Merlin Resort and the glorious lagoon at the Royal Bangsak Beach Resort. Or accept nothing less than unadulterated luxury on your holidays to Khao Lak at the impressived South Sea Gran Pakarang Resort And Spa.

Wherever you decide to stay on your Khao Lak holiday, you'll be plotting your return before you leave.
