Khao Lak, Thailand

Khao Lak, located just an hour’s drive north of Phuket, offers a calm alternative to Thailand’s busier tourist spots. Unlike the hustle and bustle of larger cities, Khao Lak is a destination where you can enjoy unspoiled beaches, clear waters, and a slower pace of life. Whether you love exploring nature, discovering cultural gems, or just want to switch off by the pool, this is a destination that truly gives you space to breathe.

Your home for 12 nights will be the X10 Khao Lak Resort, a modern beachside property designed for comfort and relaxation. The resort features multiple swimming pools, a fitness centre, a spa for traditional Thai massages, and direct beach access. For dining, you’ll have the choice of international favourites and authentic Thai dishes right at the resort.

This package is carefully put together to give you the perfect balance of freedom and ease. You’ll enjoy the convenience of private transfers, so there’s no need to worry about navigating busy airports or public transport. Each morning begins with a delicious breakfast, giving you the energy to start your day whether you plan to relax or head out exploring.

There’s also plenty to do nearby. You can take day trips to the Similan Islands, famous for their crystal-clear waters and coral reefs, or visit Khao Sok National Park, where limestone cliffs, ancient rainforests, and wildlife await. For those who prefer a gentler pace, Khao Lak town itself offers local markets, shops, and traditional Thai dining.

This holiday is all about choice – whether you wish to lounge by the pool with a book, go island-hopping, or discover Thailand’s natural wonders, you’ll have 12 days to create your perfect blend of rest and adventure.

Khao Lak is a destination that welcomes visitors throughout the year, but the experience can vary depending on the season. The most popular time to travel is between November and April, when the weather is dry, sunny, and perfect for long days on the beach or exploring nearby islands. The calm seas during this period are ideal for snorkelling and diving, especially if you plan to visit the Similan Islands.

If you prefer a quieter atmosphere and fewer crowds, travelling in May or June offers good value, as the region begins its green season. Showers are more common, but they are often short and refreshing, leaving plenty of time to enjoy your holiday. The landscapes also become beautifully lush, with waterfalls and forests at their most vibrant.

The rainy season, from July to October, can bring heavier rain and rougher seas, so some boat trips may be limited. However, this is when you’ll find the best deals and a peaceful atmosphere for relaxation.

With this package, you’ll be travelling on 12 September 2025, which falls just before the high season. It’s an excellent time to enjoy warm weather, fewer crowds, and the natural beauty of Khao Lak at a gentler pace.
