After going through all airport formalities and picking up your belongings from the right belt at Phuket’s International Airport, your car and driver are ready to safely drive to Khao Lak and your holiday resort. Through a corridor of other representatives, you will recognize your representative as he holds up your name at exit door number 3 for international flights and number 1 for domestic arrivals. Representatives will guide you to your air-conditioned vehicle, ready for a swift ride off the island and onto the mainland. With the airport’s location north of the island, you will be off the island in no time. Via the Sarasin Bridge, a connection that has made overland travel possible between the Phang Nga province and Phuket, the driver follows the road towards Takuapa, the main town of the Khao Lak district. Following the coastline along the sunset side of the Andaman Sea, an authentic, somewhat sleepy side of Thailand will soon make way for a more lush side of Khao Lak. A dominant factor of what makes Khao Lak such a pleasure to stay around is the prominence of the Khao Lak/Lam Roo National Park, offering tropical forested valleys and mangroves and forest-covered hills, marked for some excellent excursion opportunities.
We reach the beaches of Khao Lak after passing the main entrance of the national park and alight right at the doorstep of your booked accommodation. Assisted by your driver, it is time to check in your overnight address for a well-deserved break, away from it all.
