I think it’s about £8 and you don’t need a prescription either. I had a chest infection and went straight to the pharmacy and bought 2 lots, 1 lot to bring home.

Another vote for the Sensimar, returning next month as we liked it so much.

150 bht 200 bht, yes mate pack light, you don't need anything. wishing you a great trip.

I don’t find much to buy or eat at the market. The shops sell mostly the same things like T-shirts, souvenirs. Food are mainly finger food & snacks. But a good place to get fresh local fruits. Go take a look but please note that they’re not open everyday. You can get the same deals at proper restaurants along the way from the beach to the market. Give Na Suang Restaurant a try, we ate there almost everyday during our 4 nights stay in La Vela Khao Lak, good & cheap. Their seafood platter is very good value. If you order the fresh coconut, ask the staff to help you scrap the coconut “flesh” after your drink is finished. Try also the sweet pancakes sold by street carts, made fresh to order with many choices of fillings & toppings. Sorry we did not venture out for sightseeing or other activities so can’t recommend any. If you’ve not already booked your hotel, we really like the La Vela as it is modern & new, by the beach, has huge grounds & pools & a fantastic breakfast buffet spread. Enjoy Khao Lak.

Bonjour, Il n'est pas ouvert le vendredi.

Hi, I am not sure about the timings in December but the market stayed open until 10pm when we visited in July. In terms of halal options there are couple of food stalls that serve halal food with Muslim owners. However it is only street food options. There are only two halal restaurants in Khao Lak from what I know. One is called ‘halal restaurant’ and is just behind the market area on the main stretch of restaurants. The other is called Taj Mahal. We didn’t try any of them as we stuck to vegetarian Thai food mainly.

frog. doesn't look good but close your eyes and, pork.

Just came back from 12 days in Khao Lak, had a great time Bed and Breakfast at the hotel as eating out is so cheap if you stick to local cuisine. Western/European food (steaks etc) is nearly as much as UK prices. Local beer ( Chang and Leo) always served chilled is also cheap. Tour Excursions can be around £50 per person, and lunches and drinks inclusive. £50 per person per day is reasonable but allow a bit more for excursions. Hope this helps and enjoy your hols.
