Thailand - Khao Lak
As part of our adventure fabulous time with Carmen and Sean in Asia we planned a 5 day trip to the beautiful beaches of Thailand to swim, relax, eat lots of Thai food and just enjoy each others company.
We stayed at a beautiful resort in Khao Lak (1 hour north of Phuket) called Nang Thong Bay Resort. Its a small boutique hotel with little bungalows on the beach. Our room was 2500 Baht per night which works out to around $80 US which I think is an incredible bargain for the quality of the rooms and the amazing attention to detail from the staff and the endless friendly Thai greetings Sawadee Ka!

Khao Lak was one of the worst hit places in the 2004 Tsunami. The final death toll in Khao Lak alone was over 4000 people (many of them tourists) including the grandson of the King of Thailand. Most of the resorts in Khao Lak were either heavily damaged or completely demolished during the Tsunami which was a pretty heavy economic setback. While we were in Khao Lak the only signs of the aftermath were these Tsunami evacuation route signs that were posted all over the town.

Lynn, I don't always comment, but just love reading your blog. You guys are having the most amazing time - enjoying learning so much about Asia (and all the wacky goings on there).
We are planning to visit Phuket and Khao Lak in mid-Jan.
Thank you for posting.
I've been looking at some of the posts on this website to get an idea about travel in Phuket and Khao Lak for my next vacation.
At Phuket, I think I'll stay here Surin Beach Hotel This hotel is very nice clean and the people are friendly. VERY nice hotel with helpful staff.
And I really love white sand, crystal clear waters at Surin Beach too.
Thank again.
