You would like a private taxi-transfer to Khao Lak? |
||
With taxi drivers who have been driving absolutely safely for years
from Phuket Airport to Khao Lak! |
||
| The transfers by our excellent drivers have increased so much that I can not arrange them in my spare time any more. The highschool student Amy Minne helps now and earns some pocket money with it. Therefore we charge for each transfer trip 100 Baht from all passengers who have not booked their hotel from our Internet Booking Service. These 100 Baht (2,50 Euro) we hand over to Amy. R.D. | ||

The beach at Khao Lak has been developed into a refuge for nature
lovers and tourists seeking a peaceful, quiet resort area. The
viewpoint at the KM 57.2 marker on highway 4 offers a fantastic view: A
goldenbeige ribbon of sand, picturesquely interspersed by some rocky outcrops,
divides the blue waters of the Andaman Sea from lush green palm groves. A
belt of casuarina pines and coconut palm trees hugs the 12 km long beach.
In the flat land, 600 to 2000 meters inland, rubber and coconut palm plantations,
fields and tiny villages extend into the distance. Many lakes hide in
between, remnants of the flourishing tin mining industry from nearly two
centuries ago. Setting the stage to this vibrant town is the magnificent backdrop of the densely forested Khao Lak-Lamru National Park. 2 km further along the H4 is the small town of Ban Bang Niang. Here, restaurants, shopping areas and a very popular weekly market can be found. |
