What are people saying about Khao Lak

Edward_L, Jun 2026

Family Thai cooking lessons in Khao Lak

This experience was worth every minute. This class is so well organized and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable. Everyone was knowledgeable, personable, and kind. They made the experience both fun and exciting. They spent the time to explain the details of the ingredients and the nuances of Thai cooking. They spent the time reaching out beforehand to understand any dietary limitations, or allergies and then to understand your palate preferences. As we were cooking together, they made on the fly adjustments to ensure every person in our party had the best experience. I cannot recommend this experience enough. This is a must do if you are in the Khao Lak area.

A must do experience

Chef Apple was amazing! From the moment we met her at pickup til drop off we had an amazing time. She was able to accommodate every dietary restriction we had. Everything was a 100/100. The food, recipe's, market, staff were all great. Learned a lot about Thai food and produce. Very educational. Would definitely book again.

Amazing One Day Trip At Cheow Larn Lake From Khao Lak

Chloe_N, Jun 2026

At this point in our trip...

At this point in our trip we had been all over Thailand, and our whole group agreed it was one of our favorite days. We went in low season and were lucky enough to only have 5 people total. Our guide was Perry, she was amazing, took great care of us, and even brought us snacks to try. Absolutely the sweetest. Views on the tour were stunning and so worth it. Lunch was provided and (as a picky eater) probably the best food to date on the trip. So so yummy. Absolutely would take this tour again.

ATV Ride Through Mountain and Waterfall Trails in Khao Lak

Kenshawong, May 2026

Fantastic ATV experience

The ATV 2 hrs experience was fantastic. Staff gave an introduction how to operate the vehicle then off you go. Very attentive with one staff leading and 1 staff trailing. We did off road and through the water. Just a little challenge to have fun , but also keeping it safe. They took photos and videos along the way and WhatsApp us at the end.

Private Transfer from Phuket Airport to Khao Lak

Kay_P, May 2026

Fantastic service

We received clear instructions from smile where to locate our driver on arrival which was reassuring. Our plane was delayed leaving Delhi and delayed landing at phuket due to weather so we were worried about our pick up as we were an hour late. But everything was brilliant we were greeted warmly and transferred to our resort in khao lak smoothly. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Khao Lak: Bamboo Rafting & Sea Turtle Conservation Center

Sue_G, Apr 2026

Good experience

Very good organised trip, Marta our guide was very informative and pleasant. Water rafting was good and an experience whilst here in Thailand. Take a towel and change of clothing as we did get a little wet. It was a nice half day trip for us which also included the turtle sanctuary and the waterfall was dry at this time of year but she took us to a temple instead. Glad we did it.

Bamboo Rafting and Sea Turtle Conservation Center Half Day Tour From Khao Lak

Frankie_A, Apr 2026

Pleasant Half Day Trip

The pick up was on time and the travel less than 30 minutes to the Tuttle Conservation centre. Seeing and hearing about the Conservation work undertaken was interesting and as a bonus one of the Tsunami memorials are situated here which was poignant. We were taken to a waterfall but being as we are still in the dry season (early April) it was a trickle. The rafting was a really pleasant experience, wow the rafters put some work in. Be prepared to be wet as you are basically sat in the water. As with our all round experience in Thailand there is no pressure to up sell souvenirs, photos etc

A Great Day Trip

It’s a great itinerary, and the scenery is beautiful. Our guide and driver were excellent. The lunch spot was perfect—beautiful setting and delicious food. We were hoping the guide could share a bit more about Thailand’s history, culture, and plantations during the journey. Overall, it was a great tour.

Khao Lak Elephant Sanctuary Small-Group Guided Tour

Edward_U, Apr 2026

Awesome elephant tour!

This was a wonderful small group tour and we got to feed the elephants, take lots of pictures, and talk with the guides at length about the elephants. The elephants only do what they want to do, so very respectful of the animals. And each elephant has it’s own personality and you really get to see that on this tour. Highly recommend it!

Temples Tour in Thailand from Khaolak

James Bond Island Adventure Tour from Khao Lak including Sea Canoeing & Lunch

steveandtor, Feb 2026

Fabulous trip

We had a wonderful day with Marta our guide. Collected from our hotel in a small van with 8 others, our first stop to the long boat for travel to the sea canoes. Amazing scenery along the way. Sea canoes were brilliant especially as a family of three we were kept together by our canoeists which meant we could take photos etc. wonderful to go through the mango forest and see the monkeys. Onwards to James Bond island which as previously mentioned is exceptionally busy!! Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. We had a buffet style lunch at the floating village which catered for everyone and then some free time to wonder - don’t get lost!! Boat ride back and then onto the monkey temple. I took some towels with me so was able to cover my shoulders and knees ( ladies only). We didn’t feed the monkeys as advised but there are plenty of other tourists that do. Overall a full day but worth doing. We had a great time and was very well looked after.
