Khao Lak and the surrounding region, Thailand

Some 50 mlesi from Phuket airport, Khao Lak is accessible via a bridge that links the island to the mainland. The journey lasts approximately one hour, but once you're there it's pure bliss. Khao Lak is one of the parts of Thailand that was worst hit by the Tsunami, although there are no traces of the destruction today. All the hotels have been rebuilt and some new ones are already being opened.Here's hoping that this development doesn't ruin the natural beauty of Khao Lak. The coast here is much calmer than that of the neighbouring region of Phuket. Khao Lak offers a wide variety of beautiful landscapes: long sandy beaches, impressive underwater sites, lush vegetation with beautiful waterfalls and so much more.

To think about

Go with an empty suitcase, otherwise you will be forced to buy an extra bag over there for all your new purchases! Oh, and don't forget your mosquito repellent, very important.

To avoid

There's a good reason why Thailand is nicknamed the 'land of smiles' so don't hesitate to join in - smile! Don't buy counterfeit goods, you'll only get yourself into trouble with customs. Also, avoid visiting during the monsoon - never pleasant for your holiday!

To try

Thai cuisine is excellent but can be very spicy so know your limits and enjoy those spicy peppers in moderation! The choice is varied; from green curry to noodles, from sauteed vegetables to fried rice and soups there is something to satisfy all palates. Don't forget to taste a real pad thai and somtom (green papaya salad).

To bring back

In Thailand, it is difficult to resist the temptation to shop; from clothing to Biddha statues, or incense and cushion covers, here you will find the souvenir to suit you.
