Getting To Khao Lak

Getting Here

Khao Lak is perfectly situated only one hour north of Phuket International Airport. Thus, flying is one of the best options due to the many budget arilines available in the region. We are also located right on the main road between Phuket and Bangkok, so we have plenty of bus service.

And if you are driving, Wicked diving is incredibly easy to find!

While there are no trains along the West Coast of Thailand, there is a stop located about 3 hours away – we can help arrange transfers.

Whether coming from Europe or around the corner, we are very conveniently located.

Taxi

We have really strong feelings about this. See our blog here and here. The taxi drivers there are a bunch of weasels! We strongly encourage you to make reservations with Khao Lak Taxi. If you choose not to, then expect to pay between 1700 and 3000 Baht. The ride is only one hour (if they know where they are going) and it’s a straight shot from the airport to here.

Flights

Phuket is a very large International Airport. Beside being a large European Tourist destination, you can easily arrange connecting flights from Bangkok, Hong Kong, Australia, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. Peak season sees as many as 40 flights a day! With the rapid expansion of budget airlines in Asia, you should be able to fly at prices cheaper than the trains and just a little bit more than buses. Especially if you book at least 2 weeks ahead.

Trains

Trains to Khao Lak

We all love trains. Good fun, safe and fuel efficent. But! There are none to Khao Lak! The nearest train stop is Surat Thani, 180 Km East of us. From there connecting buses and taxi service can be arranged. Expect 200 Baht for bus and 3000 for taxi. Here is the Website for the Railways of Thailand.

Bus Service

If you come from either Phuket or Bangkok, just let the driver know that you wish to get off in Khao Lak at the Supermarket. That is the center of our town and quite close to our shop. If you are arriving from other parts of Thailand, you should be able to ask for Khao Lak (Pronounced Cow Lack). If it seems like you are getting a run around, ask for Takuapa (Pronounced Tock-oo-ah-pa) which is a main transit hub 30 km north of us. Frequent buses depart from there to our town. Again, just mention the supermarket and everyone knows what you mean.
