Khao Lak, located in Southern Thailand, has gained some popularity over recent years. The area of Khao Lak has stunning landscapes, many mountains, and beautiful seas. Here are a couple of enchanting places to visit when you are in Khao Lak.
For those who want to be surrounded by trees and greenery, you need to visit Lam Ru National Park. Located in Takua Pa District, this place is full of wildlife where you are likely to spot reptiles, birds, small land mammals and plenty of butterflies! There are big rocks covering the coastline, powdery sand, and clear blue waters. There are also a number of hiking trails to explore when you are at this National Park!
Stretching over 285 miles, the Khao Sok National Park is one of Khao Lak's best places to visit. It is known to be the place where 'nature meets adventure'. When you are here, you can also spot the popular stinking corpse lily, and even smell the scent it produces! The Khao Sok is also one of the oldest rainforests that provides a beautiful green jungle, which is along a stunning coastline! Inside of this national park, you will also come across tapirs, deers, marbled cats, bears, elephants, tigers and much more. You can make visiting the national park a day trip from Avani+ Khao Lak Resort, which is a well-known Khao Lak resort in Thailand.
You will find Christmas Point, one of the world's top ten diving spots, off the Khao Lak coast. The area is found close to the Similan islands, close to the port from Thap Lamu Pier. At Christmas point, you can enjoy snorkelling and exploring underwater life at your own pace, and you can also spot many sea turtles and dolphins. There are plenty of speedboat tours that are available to help you arrive at the point quickly, which means you have more time to really have fun in the water! You need to make sure to bring your camera, as there is a maze of granite boulders, which makes for lovely pictures. You will spot the occasional Eagle Ray, Ribbon Eels, Orange-spotted Pipefish, and much more!
For some quiet time to read a book or get a tan, the gorgeous stretch of Park Weep Beach is ideal! This is where you need to go for leisure. You can get your hair braided or take a nap on the sugary white beach. There are also numerous souvenir shops you can explore while snacking on some great Thai food!
This island is famous as 'The Man with the Golden Gun', a famous James Bond movie, was filmed here. The success of the film made the island quite popular among tourists. This island is gorgeous and is surrounded by stunning emerald green waters and beautiful landscapes. Both kids and adults can also experience the James Bond Aqua Safari.
