It’s your holiday, anything is possible

Khao Lak

Khao Lak, on Thailand’s southwest coast, is in the business of recharging batteries. With long runways of powdery white sand and a mineral-water clear sea makes Khao Lak an ideal beach location.

It’s not just the coastline that deserves your attention, though. Three national parks nuzzle up to Khao Lak’s shore. The most popular is Khao Lak Lam Ru National Park, which spans 125 square kilometres and is made up of mangroves, waterfalls, jungle and 1,000-metre-high hills.

Accommodation in Khao Lak doesn’t stray far from the beach. Most of the hotels have been designed to blend into the natural environment, so they’re camouflaged from view. It’s in these boltholes that most of the evening entertainment happens, too. Traditional Thai meals are served in sea-view restaurants and cocktails are sipped in sand-side bars.

Bang La On

That’s not to say there’s nothing going on outside the hotels. Khao Lak’s centre, known as Bang La On, has a handful of restaurants and bars, where you can get everything from French cuisine to shisha pipes.

Elephant Hills

Elephant Hills is Thailand’s first Luxury Tented Jungle Camps, combining the camp idea of African national parks with the Thai tropical forest environment. The two camps, The Elephant Camp and the floating Rainforest Camp, are both situated in Khao Sok, part of Southern Thailand’s largest stretch of primary Rainforest. Despite being tucked away in the Green, these camps are easily reachable from popular beach destinations like Phuket, Khao Lak, Khanom, Krabi and even Koh Samui.  Click here for more details on Elephant Hills.
