Khao Lak - The South Beach: Resorts and Bungalows

Khao Lak Competent information about Khao Lak, the wonderful destination in the South of Thailand, compiled by Thailand travel writer Richard Doring				Updated: 30/01/2012
Khaolak Beach (South)				Updated: 30/01/2012

A dream beach in the tropics...

... south
of Khao Lak

...at the beautiful Andaman Sea

Swimming in the sea
around the clock,

natural and comfortable bungalows,

cool beach restaurants and beach cafes,

many activities in an unspoilt nature,

memorable excursions to fishing villages, coral reefs, bizarre rock formations, caves, and waterfalls in the nearby jungle.

	Khaolak Beach (South), also Kaolak Beach or Merlin Beach This beautiful sandy beach extends for about 700 metres, bordered by a small river to the right and a barrier of rocks to the left, beyond continues Poseidon Beach. The wood covered headland to the north protects this beach from the heavy waves during the monsoon so that swimming is often possible with a little caution. The large Merlin Resort, a 4-star resort, is beautifully integrated into the tree covered landscape. New are the Emerald Beach Resort with over 300 rooms, the Briza Resort with 181 rooms, and the lovely Diamond Beach Resort with 86 very spacious rooms. The Diamond Beach Resort is managed in a very friendly family-style. We are delighted that we can now book the beachfront bungalow rooms for an extremely low price -- the best value for money in any resort of Khao Lak during Christmas. The less posh Poseidon is situated at a picturesque river mouth 1 km further south. It is run by the Swede Olof who offers snorkelling trips to the Similan Islands. From Khaolak Beach (South) it takes about 10 minutes by car to Khao Lak Town, 5 km to the north beyond Khao Lak-Lamru National Park.
