A dream beach in the tropics...
		... Khao Lak	...at the beautiful Andaman Sea
		Swimming in the sea around the clock,
natural and comfortable bungalows,
	cool beach restaurants and cosy beach bars,
many activities in an unspoilt nature,
		memorable excursions to fishing villages, coral reefs, bizarre rock formations, islands, caves, and waterfalls in the nearby jungle.

	Holidays with Children in Khao Lak
	Khao Lak is a holiday destination with a perfect beach that is especially nice for families with small children: the fine sand gliding into the sea with a gentle slope, hardly any stones or other hard objets in the sand. Some care should be taken at the picturesque rock barriers at Nang Thong Beach because the sea shells grow there in profusion and the sharp edges can cut the tender skin. Near some rock formations there are also sea urchins that may cause wounds that do not heal easily. But these are minor problems easily to avoid.

	The real problem is that there are still not enough bungalows suitable for families. The constructors of the resorts simply did not envisage that this beach might become a popular family destination. It would be too costly now to convert the rooms into family units. In almost all resorts a small child may sleep in the bungalow with the parents on a mattress or in an extra bed, in some resorts even without a surcharge.

	The new holiday village Sita Garden directly at Bang Niang Beach was especially built with families in mind. For families there are 3 Holiday Bungalows (A1, A2 and B1) with one resp. three extra beds (2 metres long). These holiday bungalows cost 2400 Baht PLUS 300 Baht for each child using a built-in bed. One child sleeping in the bed of the parents is free of charge. The pictures of the children were taken at this beach in front of Sita Garden.

	Also at Bang Niang Beach Cousin Resort has 2 Family Suites with two sleeping rooms and one living room, bathroom and verandah for 3500 Baht each per night with air condition or 3200 Baht with fan only.
	Baan Khao Lak can put up to 3 extra beds in its Garden View Bungalows. This has its price, though: 2500 Baht for the room PLUS 3 x 500 Baht for the extra beds, a total of 4000 Baht. If the smallest child can sleep with the parents, only 100 Baht are added for the baby.
	In the Khao Lak Seaview Resort and Spa all Deluxe Rooms in the 3rd floor are equipped with one King Size bed or 2 Queen Size beds. So 2 children can sleep in the same room with the parents comfortably. The extra charge in addition to the special internet room rate of 4600 Baht is only 175 Baht per child, including breakfast. This is a real bargain considering that the Seaview Resort is a true 4-star resort. The Deluxe Rooms with one King Size bed have also a connecting door to the Deluxe Room with two Queen Size beds. Here families with up to 6 members can spend a comfortable holiday, for the maximum rate of 9550 Baht. With 2 extra beds even a family of 8 fits into these two rooms (11550 Baht).
	Khao Lak Green Beach Resort has 3 double bungalows with two rooms that are connected. They are ideal for families with grown-up kids. They have air-conditioning and cost 1500 Baht per room.
	As soon as we get some new information about bungalows suitable for families we will check them out and publish our impressions here.
