My wife and I have spent the last few years looking far and wide for the ideal vacation spot that offers something for the entire family to keep everyone thoroughly entertained while also providing peace, quiet, and the ideal environment to be able to immerse oneself in, totally unwind, and get off the treadmill, so to speak.
Throughout our search, we have visited some truly lovely places, but every one of them was deficient in one or more of the essential elements that we all felt were essential for our ultimate satisfaction and contentment. The perfect family getaway has finally been found, and we are happy to share it with all of you who take the time to read this post. We have just returned from our most recent family vacation, so we can happily report that (providing your family enjoys beach vacations) you too can find the ideal family getaway.
The Location
A 20-kilometer length of relatively undeveloped sand beaches on the Andaman coast with a backdrop of tropical jungle is where we discovered something to keep us all amused and content.
Three major tourist destinations are located in Khao Lak: Bang La On, Khuk Khak, and Bang Niang. Khao Lak is a location that can be reached by car from Phuket International Airport in about an hour. Khao Lak, which literally translates as “Lak Mountain,” is one of the area’s main tourist attractions, and it also happens to have a natural reserve that we truly enjoyed during our guided jungle hikes and nature walks.
Each of the three locations is relatively calm, with lodging options ranging from the most luxurious to the most budget-friendly, and is accessible to people of all income levels, making it possible for everyone to visit this charming, lovely site in Thailand.
Actually, if you prefer the more sedate side of things while traveling, Khao Lak is not only the ideal location for a family vacation but also for anyone looking to unwind and relax in nature. In my opinion, it also makes for the perfect honeymoon location because it has a lot of impressive and interesting attractions that are not overly flashy and intrusive. I would suggest visiting Khao Lak between the months of April and November if you want to visit at a particularly calm time of year.
The Accommodation
There are accommodations to suit any budget and meet the majority of tastes and needs in a place to rest one’s head, as I already indicated in this piece. We chose to rent a villa within a resort since we have prior experience that doing so will make life easier for us because personnel will be available at all times to assist us with our needs. We also enjoy having the seclusion that comes with a villa while still having access to a resort’s swimming pool, bar, restaurant, and in this case, a Kids Club, which was ideal for us.
So, throughout the day, we could leave the kids to enjoy themselves with whatever the Kids Club had planned, while my wife and I would explore the various surrounding points of interest and sights on our scooter or on a guided tour. Additionally, the villa offered a breathtaking view of the beach and the province’s best and most beautiful sunset, in the opinion of the locals.
Scuba diving is known to be quite pleasurable in this location due to the abundance of sea life and many interesting things to view. The beach is your ideal, soft, sandy type, and the sea water is warm and as clear as can be. Therefore, if you enjoy diving, be sure to schedule some enjoyable dives while in Khao Lak.
