Luxury holidays in Khao Lak

When to go

Avoid downpours and exasperatingly hot temperatures by visiting in the dry season from November to February.

Getting there

• Planes

  Fly to Phuket International Airport, a 90-minute drive from Khao Lak, which receives regular international flights from dozens of destinations. There are frequent connections from Bangkok.

• Automobiles

  Parts of Phang Nga are very remote, so a car is handy for reaching those hard-to-find stretches of shore or exploring the verdant hinterland. Acquire some wheels in Phuket.
