Of all the places you can visit in Thailand, Khao Lak is one of the most popular locations. Full of amazing places and activities to do, there is little room for anyone to get bored. However, with so many things to do in Khao Lak, one might feel overwhelmed with no clue where to start. If you are one of them, we whole-heartedly recommend signing up for one of their many tours in Khao Lak.
Here are four amazing tours Khao Lak has in store for you:
1. Surin Islands Tour
If you’re looking for an unforgettable snorkeling experience, the Surin Islands Tour offers plenty of stunning locations for you to take the hobby to the next level. If you’re worried that tourism and development have ruined the underwater experience, don’t be. The five islands you’re going to visit during the tour are quite remote, meaning that nature is left alone to grow in full beauty.
Of course, even if you aren’t a snorkeler, the islands promise pristine beaches where you can relax. If you’re fortunate, you might spot some fantastic sea creatures, such as the whale sharks and dolphins accompanying you on your tour.
2. Similan Islands Tour
Just like the Surin Islands Tour, the Similan Islands Tour offers stunning beaches and incredible underwater vistas—a tour snorkeling enthusiasts must not miss. It is these traits that make the Similan Islands one of the most popular destinations in Khao Lak. Unfortunately, if you’re late for the tour, don’t expect to have the beach all to yourself. Unless you’re willing to share paradise with hundreds of other people, book the visit early.
3. Phi Phi Islands Tour
That’s right! This is another island tour that Khao Lak has in store for its visitors. The Phi Phi Islands Tour will bring you to famous locations around the island itself. In addition to that, you’ll still get to enjoy the spectacular beaches and even share that experience with monkeys that inhabit the area.
Just like the other tours in this list, the Phi Phi Islands Tour also offers a fantastic snorkeling experience. Be aware that you’ll have to wake up quite early for this tour, as the island is quite a distance from Khao Lak.
4. Elephant Tour
If you’re looking for something a little more inland, an elephant tour might be just the thing for you. However, be a bit careful when it comes to choosing which elephant tour you’re going to opt for. We highly recommend that you opt for a trip that supports the elephant sanctuary rather than elephant riding. Consider visiting an elephant sanctuary where you can watch the elephants in their natural habitat, feed them and bathe with these gentle giants.
In addition to the tours we’ve mentioned so far in this article, there are plenty of others in Khao Lak that will take you around national parks and other locations. Most of these tours can take up a day, so you won’t have to worry about being left with nothing to do! You won’t mind it taking up a lot of time either, as you’ll always be in awe at the wonder and beauty that Khao Lak’s location has in store for you.
