Khao Lak has a lot to offer, but those who have more than a few days should check out the beautiful surroundings of Khao Lak.
Both the coast and the green hinterland have a lot to offer. Not only the beautiful islands of the Andaman Sea and the breathtaking Khao Sok National Park are perfect for enriching the holiday with unforgettable moments and memories.
We did the above mentioned excursions from Khao Lak with Khao Lak Land Discovery [ad] and were very satisfied.
Here you will find general and basic information about Thailand.
We selected and booked the excursions online. Payment is either by PayPal or credit card when booking online or cash on the spot. You will receive an immediate confirmation by e-mail. We were consulted by a very pleasant agent by mail, Instagram and Facebook.
They answered our questions super fast and reliable. Meanwhile, a new Khao Lak Land Discovery office has opened near Bang Niang Market in Khao Lak, where you book excursions.
We were picked up on all excursions on time at the hotel with a minivan. Khao Lak Land Discovery advised us to order a takeaway breakfast from the hotel.
During any excursion with Khao Lak Land Discovery we felt well informed. We always knew how to proceed and what to expect next. We never had to wait unnecessarily long. The y know their job. Once arrived at the jetty for the boat excursions, they staff will hand out colored bracelets according to the booked excursions and assign the guests to a guide and a boat. The excursion from Khao Lak to Surin Islands was joined by about 25 guests. All in all, that was a pleasant group size. We had enough space on the speedboat and during the stops the group was well distributed. The organization of all excursions was really professional.
After we left the island again, we stopped for another snorkeling, which was as nice as the first one was. With our memory card full of unique moments and the heart full of great memories, we made our way back to Khao Lak, where the minivan was waiting to take us back to the hotel late afternoon.
The rock formations in combination with the sapphire blue water are really awesome. One picture-perfect idyll scenery chases the other. Try to get a seat in the front part of the longtail boat or take ear protection with you. The engine is just behind the boat's rear bench and incredibly loud.
After this fantastic ride on the reservoir lake, the boat docked on a floating platform, which also has a restaurant, where we could get ready for the hike through the jungle. From there, we went by boat to a nearby trail, which led us straight into the dense jungle.
After the boat had pick us up at the end of the bay, we made a short stop at a stalactite cave.
At the end of this successful excursion, we were served a delicious meal on the floating restaurant platform. There was fresh grilled fish, green Thai curry and fresh fruits. Everything was delicious and plentiful.
Well strengthened, we made our way back to Khao Lak and arrived in the evening.
In addition to the two excursions from Khao Lak to Surin Islands and Khao Sok, Khao Lak Land Discovery also offers Khao Lak Safaris, Khao Sok Safaris and Khao Lak excursions to the Similan Islands, Koh Phi Phi, Phuket or Phang Nga.
On certain days, they offer so-called early bird excursions, which start very early in the morning, but give the opportunity to have the highlights for you alone.
The guides on both tours spoke excellent German. The guide at the Surin excursion was very friendly, courteous and competent. The guide from the Khao Sok trip was a bit grim, but he convinced with knowledge and stories about Khao Sok, Khao Lak and Thailand.
On both trips from Khao Lak we were picked up by minivans. The cars were reliable, clean and well maintained. The drivers took us to the respective destination safely.
