Khao Lak - The last pristine holiday resort in Thailand !

The Khao Lak National Park is situated only 90 minutes by car from Phuket in northern direction. Khao Lak in Thailand is one of Thailand's last unspoilt and protected resources of nature. The way to Khao Lak from Phuket along the well-maintained highway #4 is like a sightseeing tour itself, as it guides the visitor along wide green rice fields and coconut plantations. Shortly before reaching Khao Lak, the surroundings suddenly change and the serpentine road winds through a magnificent jungle where huge hundreds of years old trees domain, surrounded by a dense green forest. Here the visitor will find untouched tropical vegetation where exotic plants and animals live unharmed like thousands of years ago.

Shortly before reaching Khao Lak center, the viewpoint offers a stunning panorama over Khao Lak's 12 kilometer long coast line. The picturesque golden sand beach stretches along the Emerald-colored coast of the Andaman Sea, bordered by palm and coniferous trees. The hinterland is dominated by palm and rubber plantations to soon be replaced by the green mountains of Khao Lak's Lamru national park.

A vacation in Khao Lak stands for nature, recreation and relaxation. The ones who dare for a pulsating nightlife will be better of visiting Phuket. Khao Lak offers the chance to get in touch with the local people and the land itself.

The center of Khao Lak features beside hotels and resorts some shops, restaurants and mini marts as well as a few pubs. Here the visitor may throw a few darts, play a round of pool or even shake a leg at two of these cozy nightlife venues if the music and the mood allows. A few travel guides wrongfully stated that there is a disco in Khao Lak, so party animals might be disappointed.

The next bigger village is Takua Pa, which is located 28 kms up north from Khao Lak. The village accommodates a few interesting buddhist temples and older colonial style buildings plus one hospital and several banks who accept international currency and credit cards.

Many foreign expats have already settled down in Khao Lak to escape the western rat race, where your hard-earned money is worth nothing anymore. A tropical villa in Khao Lak costs only a fracture of a condominium in Europe or the US. In numbers: A Khao Lak Villa with garden costs only 20% of what a single family house in Europe costs ! Also, buying a villa in Khao Lak is a good investment, as the prices for land went up by 500% within the past two years.
