What people are saying about Khao Lak

Oat and Ding were fabulous. We had an amazing day! The market was most interesting. Oat bought some mango and rose apple for us to try. The elephant sanctuary was so much fun. Feeding, mudding, bathing, walking. Then off to the restaurant where we made Tom Yum soup and ate enough for a week! We felt full and sleepy for our bamboo raft ride. The coffee from bamboo cups woke us up. Overall a perfect day

It is an unique place for who loves snorkelling, I have never seen so many varieties of corals e nemo fish. The company is great! They provided us with a new snorkelling mouthpiece, great food and an excellent atmosphere! The guide tours are over the moon!! Vina is very professional, friendly and with an amazing energy!! My family and I will definitely return with this company!

We had the best day with the sweetest guide, mau ☺️ we went as a family of four and there was only 2 other tourist on the same trip☺️ the trip was as we had hoped for and more , and the food was perfect. There was more than enough for all of us☺️ We live on karon beach so the dive was 2hours long, both ways but definitely worth it.

We saw various birds, snakes and monkeys and our canoeist was very quick to spot them and point them out to us. We also visited the Tsunami memorial museum which was sobering but beautifully done.

Was one of the best days on vacation! We can only recommend the tour to everyone :)
