Khao Lak is located just 90 minutes from Phuket. It is one of the most beautiful and still a quiet place in Thailand.

Arriving in Khao Lak, after the "mountain", you discover the bay, which offers a magnificent panorama. It is located between the white sand beaches on the Emerald Andaman Sea and is lined with palm trees, ancient trees, rubber plantations that progress towards the jungle of Khao Lak Lamru National Park.

No less than 7 national parks are located around this protected region. Splendid mountainous and wild forests flow on the coasts where long empty beaches go to infinity. Discover the mangrove ecosystem, snorkel or scuba dive among the corals around the islands, elephant trekking, rafting down the river or on foot through the oldest rainforest on earth.

Khao Lak offers a rare oasis of relaxation in a perfect setting with a magnificent combination of rainforest to wide white sand beaches.

Khao Lak is in the midst of a tourism boom, but the authorities have chosen to turn to family-friendly, clean tourism.

There are about fifteen major springs and many construction projects, but all respecting nature and the environment, in order to preserve the balance in the midst of the vegetation. There will be no tall building spoiling the view because the height limit for construction is 2 or 3 floors depending on the location.

- We live between the white sand beaches (the most beautiful in Thailand) and the jungle.

- No insecurity, no public violence like fights, no thefts or burglaries, you can go out where you want and at any time without worrying about your safety.

- We don't have prostitution tourism like in Phuket.

- We do not have the category of tourist who are thinking only of drinking or of taking drugs.

- Small town where everyone knows each other.

- We are far away from traffic, traffic jams or the mad on the beaches and in the shops, far away from noise, far away from pollution and bad smells.

- We are far away enough from Phuket not to have its negative sides but close enough to be able to drop in and shop, go out at night, take advantage of certain discount stores, internationally renowned hospitals, and to do some shopping. From time to time a walkabout. But very quickly we return to appreciate the calm of Khao Lak.

- We are on the mainland so life is much cheaper than on islands like Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Phi Phi. The rainy season, moreover, is less rainy than on these islands.

- Land prices are still cheap for the moment, but they will go up quickly. Logic of a station which is full boom.

- Motorized nautical activities are prohibited as well as anything that could harm nature.

- But on the other hand, there are a lot of excursions serving to discover the jungle, the lakes, the rivers, the different islands like Similan, Surin, Koh Tachai, which is a true paradise for divers and snorkeling. Green tourism is particularly developed in Khao Lak, and will delight lovers of nature, peace and tranquility.

It is also its local markets  with its fish, its fresh fruits...coming directly from the producer and guaranteeing attractive prices and quality.
