Plus: Comfortable, easy to reach from Phuket airport, rainforest nearby for alternative action. Similan islands for serious underwater viewing.
Minus: Very limited night life and eating-out options, chunky waves early in the season, ageing Scandinavian folk overload.
Khao
Lak is a relatively new resort an easy hour's drive north of Phuket
island. It's been popular for some time as a transit point for divers
on their way to the Similan islands, 64 kms off the coast. The islands
are rated among the top ten dive spots of the world due to the great
visibility, wide variety of marine life and superb coral reefs, as
well as the beauty of the islands above water.
Khao Lak is now a target for north Europeans who appreciate its tranquility
- compared to Phuket - the excellent selection of mid-range bungalows
just off the beach, and the adjacent wildlife-crammed rainforested
National Park.
