Khao Lak

Khao Lak by Clemens

Khao Lak Motive Cottage Resort is a simple but stylish boutique resort, located in the middle of the beautiful Khaolak, Phang Nga, a famous world-class holiday destination of the Andaman coastline. Tourists are in a paradise of sun, sand and Sea. Khao Lak offers a rare oasis for relaxation, with a superb combination of cool tropical forest, lovely beachfront accommodation and expansive white sand beaches. And those beaches are more beautiful than ever. Khao Lak is a tiny blip on the radar screen as you drive from Phuket Town north towards Takuapa. Restaurants dot the single main road through town and tend towards the casual, open-air kind of place with a wide-ranging menu covering all the standard foreigner favourites, classic Thai stir-fry dishes and plenty of fresh seafood. Khao Lak-lam Ru hotels cover a wide range of hotels including luxury hotels, business hotels and budget hotels. Khao Lak coastal province covers an area of 4,709 square kilometres. The provincial capital is 814 kilometres south of Bangkok, and is conveniently accessible by road from the capital and Phuket. Khao Lak Beach itself is quite small, tucked away at the southern end of this string of beaches. Behind the beach is Khao Lak mountain (khao is Thai for mountain), which gives it name to the area.
