Highlights

There's more to Phuket than amazing beaches. This trip allows you to experience another side of the island. You'll visit the famous Big Buddha statue and Wat Chalong temple, taste local treats and visit Thalong Road. Kick off the tour at Nakkerd Hill with a visit to the Big Buddha. You'll enjoy views over Chalong and southern Phuket before continuing to Wat Chalong, the island's most revered temple. For an interesting demonstration about cashew nut production, you'll go to a factory and see how the locally grown nuts are transformed. Next, stroll along the famous Thalong Road and see its Sino-Portuguese architecture. Keep an eye out for a familiar sight – an early 20th century mansion featured in the hit Hollywood movie, Good Morning Vietnam. Find out about Phuket's most important industry at a pearl farm, followed by a tasty Thai lunch. Finally, it's on to a typical home where there'll be a rubber tapping demo, plus a quick lesson on how to whip up the perfect Thai curry.

About Khao Lak

Khao Lak is a long strip of sandy Andaman coast north of Phuket, with rainforest hills behind, waterfalls and boats to the Similan Islands.

Khao Lak runs for some twenty kilometres along the Andaman Sea in Phang Nga province, about eighty kilometres north of Phuket. Wide beaches such as Khuk Khak, Nang Thong and Bang Niang are backed by rubber and palm plantations and hills covered in rainforest. Khao Lak–Lam Ru National Park protects the forest and waterfalls behind the coast. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami struck this shore, and memorials stand along it.

Top-ranked sights in Khao Lak: Royal Thai Navy Third Fleet Turtle Nursery.
