Why Khao Lak?
Khao Lak is set in the tropical paradise of Phang Nga province, in the South of Thailand. With kilometers of unspoiled white sandy beaches kissing the Andaman Sea you feel like you've walked into a holiday brochure.
Surrounded by lush rainforest with a plethora of wildlife, rivers and waterfalls, Khao Lak, truly is paradise on earth.
Khao Lak has its own unique, laid back, vibes, totally unlike the hustle and bustle of the metropolis like Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Not even Phuket or Koh Samui and the other islands can match the feel good, safe atmosphere of Khao Lak.
If you want the perfect environment to focus on training without the distractions the other party destinations are notorious for, then Khao Lak is the place for you...
The Beaches
Khao Lak's beaches are world famous for their unspoiled beauty. After a heavy training session, nothing beats relaxing in the white sands of Coconut Beach, and a relaxing dip in the bath-warm Andaman Sea
The Andaman Sea is one of the worlds top destinations for diving; home to some of the most sort after sea life including Manta Rays and whale Sharks. Every November to December, Khao Lak is visited by a community of divers that add to the feel good vibe of our village.
Nature
Khao Lak is has sprung out on the edge of several National Parks, including the stunning Khao Sok National Park. Home to many jungle inhabitants including big cats, elephants, primates and of course, our reptilian friends, Khao Sok is a must visit destination.
Khao Lak has several beautiful waterfalls that are easily accessible. Chong Fah is the biggest, and has 5 layers, which are a bit of a climb, but well worth the effort.
The "Secret Beach" is accessible via a 1km trek through the Lam Ru National Park, and is also a must see.
Entertainment
Khao Lak has a lively nightlife with hundreds of restaurants and bars. Our trainers are often found in Gecko Bar and I dare you to challenge Kru Padu to a game of pool!
Bang Niang Market is 3 mins from the gym and is a popular place to shop for souvenirs, try a variety of local street food and just moosh about.
Memories Beach has regular surfing events and is often visited by pro surfers, Bangkok high-society, movie/pop stars and even the occasional Muay Thai Superstar. Our regular student Ben was privileged enough to drink a few Thai Whiskeys with Superbon, who's a regular visitor to Khao Lak!
On the outskirts of town, Khao Lak has a bowling alley and snooker room at the Sentido Graceland Resort, and a new flow-boarding surf machine at The Emerald Beach Resort
