Khao Lak Resorts – Happy Lagoon

Happy Lagoon Bungalows…



A lot of our guests stay here, because it’s convenient and easy. While we do have several other resorts this one has the most character.


This is one of the more interesting resorts in Khao Lak.


Near to the beach, but not close enough to charge too much money for the rooms. They offer ordinary service, but the location is really convenient and the rooms are a reasonable deal for the price

The Restaurant is middle of the road, nothing too interesting or odd, just ordinary (mind you it’s Thailand, so when here is ordinary, it’s pretty good – But when the food is good…It’s the BEST)



What makes this resort so odd is the designer. Someone got a little bit weird after the Tsunami (they are on high ground and lost no staff or customers), and first they built a 10 meter mock of James Bond Island (in Phang Nga bay). They built it in the middle of little bond.





But when the bulk order of Cement came in they went nuts.
Little ponds,




fake grottoes,




and a bar that would have made the Flintstones feel right at home.




Built entirely out of cement, but with an American Indian theme, it is one of the strangest things in town.



The Totem pole, the peculiar caves/tables. Well it’s best experienced in person.


The Happy Lagoon does not have a website (though some very eager Germans have set one up claiming to be them), they can be contacted by phone or email Contact us for more information.


The rates are reasonable, starting at 400 Baht for the cheap rooms up to 1500 for the bungalows. They may change prices for the 2007-2008 season.
