Khao Lak

Khao Lak Waterfalls & Reefs

The waterfalls in Khao Lak aren’t the world’s most impressive, but that’s not the point – the journey is more important than the destination.

The jungle cascades are a great excuse to take a break from the sun and venture into the cooling shade of the tropical forest.

Keep in eye out for critters, creatures, and crawlies – and please note that some waterfalls may fall under the protection of a national park; entrance fees may apply.

Chongfah Waterfall

Chong Fah Falls lie about 5 kms north of Khaolak along the main coast highway from Phuket up to Takua Pa.

Easily accessed by rental jeep or motorcycle.

Lumpee Waterfall

Heading 20 km south from Khaolak towards Thai Muang district, lie Lumpee or Lam Phi Falls. The waterfall is medium sized and divided into three levels, each about 100 meters high. It flows year round.

Tohn Prai Waterfall

A large waterfall situated in Thai Muang National Park. Drive to within 1 km of the falls, then continue on foot. The hike to the falls is most enjoyable during dry season.

Coral Reef

Off shore from Hat Khaolak are some coral gardens which make for interesting snorkelling and diving. Reached by longtail boat, the trip takes about 45 minutes and can be organised through local operators beachside at Hat Khaolak.

The Turtle Releasing Festival

Phang-Nga Province has an annual 7-day Turtle Releasing Festival in March.

Turtles raised by the Fisheries Dept. are released by festival participants into the sea at Thai Muang.
