Last weekend I had a lilliputian project to exercise for the holidays inwards Khao Lak over the years. Good for a nighttime or two, a chip of vitamin sea, some tranquillity beach time. So on my twenty-four hours off from the dive shop, I sentiment nosotros could brand a lilliputian household unit of measurement trip amongst some stops on the way. Just the 4 of us, summation i extra friend of our daughter. It usually takes almost 45 minutes from our solid to achieve the really due north of Phuket together with drive over Sarasin Bridge. It was a lovely, hot, sunny high flavor twenty-four hours together with nosotros had planned to leave of absence belatedly together with halt for luncheon on the agency at a identify called Nern Khao View Talay but due north of the pocket-size town of Khok Kloi. But the eating theatre was closed for a wedding! However, no worries equally nearby is the Wat Khao Waterfall which has a eating theatre correct side past times side to it called Krua Klang Dong.
We remove maintain eaten hither before, it does really tasty local nutrient at a adept cost although nosotros exercise prefer the slightly fancier Nern Khao View Talay! The eating theatre was busy - lunchtime at the weekend - together with nosotros had to hold off a lilliputian spell for a tabular array earlier ordering besides much nutrient equally nosotros usually do! And together with hence nosotros accept some domicile amongst us for later! Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 couplet of the dishes nosotros ordered ...
(above) Gaeng Som (sour together with spicy southern Thai agency curry)
(above) Yam Gung Siap (salad made amongst crispy dried shrimp)
I remove maintain written some other weblog shipping almost Krua Klang Dong, it's a prissy identify to swallow close the waterfall, it's quiet, nutrient has been tasty every fourth dimension nosotros remove maintain been here. Wat Khao waterfall itself is non huge, but when nosotros came inwards depression flavor it had quite a menses of water. This fourth dimension (dry season) - non much going on, but however people splashing to a greater extent than or less inwards pools.
(above) Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 rather dry out Wat Khao Waterfall. High flavor is non the ideal fourth dimension to watch waterfalls! We planned to halt at a bigger waterfall later. I hoped that either Lampi or Ton Prai waterfalls would travel worth a visit. But kickoff nosotros carried on to Khao Lak almost 45 minutes drive from Wat Khao Waterfall. We could remove maintain stopped at Thai Mueang Beach on the way, but we'd spent a long fourth dimension eating hence needed to dash a little.
Dropped off the torch for our client together with nosotros drove downwards Soi Nangthong to the beach. We remove maintain stayed at the Nangthong Bay Resort earlier which has a prissy eating theatre past times the body of body of water - it looked busy! We but played to a greater extent than or less on the sand together with rocks for a while. There are miles of beaches to a greater extent than or less Khao Lak together with compared to the busier beaches inwards Phuket it feels really relaxed. Phuket does of shape remove maintain quieter beaches, but Khao Lak but seems to a greater extent than peaceful. I intend because the primary route is develop dorsum from the beach, amongst but some pocket-size side roads leading down, hence you lot don't actually encounter whatsoever cars.

(above) The kids permit me drag them out for a twenty-four hours :) We used to exercise this to a greater extent than often, but the kids are getting older together with remove maintain their ain things to do, friends to hang out amongst .. summation inwards high flavor I remove maintain solely 1 twenty-four hours off per calendar week together with I frequently appreciate a lazy day. When nosotros larn to depression flavor I remove maintain to a greater extent than fourth dimension for days out! Sometimes nosotros exercise but similar to "take a drive" amongst some vague nearby goal inwards mind.
On this sunny twenty-four hours nosotros left Khao Lak after 3pm together with drove southward again. Ton Prai Waterfall is almost 30km from Khao Lak together with past times the fourth dimension nosotros got at that spot it was almost 3:45pm. The national common staff at the entrance said they remove maintain to closed past times 4:30pm hence nosotros walked equally apace equally possible along the path from the parking expanse to the waterfall, almost 650m upward together with downwards steps together with picking your agency through tree roots. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 few tourists were walking the other agency towards the exit. We arrived at the waterfall together with the solely other people at that spot were 4 Thai teenagers who asked my boy to accept a photograph of them, together with they left, hence nosotros had the waterfall to ourselves :) Always adept to brand it at tourist attractions either early on morn or belatedly afternoon to avoid whatsoever possible crowds.
(above) Enjoying Ton Prai Waterfall. And however enough of H2O inwards the hot season!
On a hot day, the H2O inwards the waterfall was surprisingly cold! We splashed to a greater extent than or less for almost one-half an threescore minutes earlier the walk dorsum to the rangers station where thankfully they remove maintain some drinks for sale. I am non advertising, but a mutual frigidness Coke does wonders on a hot twenty-four hours similar this :) Time to drive domicile again. I similar having these days out amongst the family. I similar household unit of measurement time. I similar having my kids around. We got domicile but earlier sunset - photograph below was taken close home.
(above) Sunset on the road, 25th Feb 2018. This is the sort of twenty-four hours nosotros enjoy. No detail plan, savour the scenery, savour the society of household unit of measurement together with it makes me really happy to travel living hither inwards Phuket!
