What to expect

A day packed with culture, spirituality and flavour. You'll visit three of the most important temples in the Phang Nga province – the Dragon Cave, Bang Rieng Pagoda and Manee Sri Mahathat.

First up is the Dragon Cave Temple. Built within and on top of limestone caves, it's as impressive as it is beautiful. Its monks make healing remedies. Next is Bang Rieng Pagoda Temple, high up in the mountains. It is a mixture of Thai and Chinese influences, and its location offers up amazing views of the area.

The final temple is Manee Sri Mahathat. It boasts a collection of wax statues of Indian, Chinese and Thai deities. But the most popular of all is that of Phor Than Klai – a monk known as ‘Golden Mouth' because of his ability to predict lottery numbers. And to round off the tour, you'll dine at a restaurant in a mangrove jungle, where you can try traditional delicacies.

Es war eine tolle Tour. Unser Guide Volker hat uns unglaublich viele interessante Details zum Buddhismus und Thailand näher gebracht. Die Tempel waren sehenswert, besonders der Königstempel sehr beeindruckend. Es gab genügend zu Trinken und das Essen direkt an einer Lagune sehr schmackhaft. Volker ist durchweg tiefenentspannt und hilfsbereit!

Der wundervolle zweite Tempel war sehr sehenswert. Nach unserem Geschmack wären eine Zwreitempeltour völlig ausreichend, da man doch länger als erwartet im Auto sitzt. Das ist auch anstrengend. Das Mittagessen war sehr lecker und wir wurden stets mit Erfrischungstücher und kalten Getränken versorgt und hatten die Möglichkeit eine Toilette aufzusuchen.

Es war alle pünktlich. Die Sehenswürdigkeiten waren sehr beeindruckend. Es wurde vor allem ein beeindruckendes Erlebnis durch den Reiseführer Twan. Er vermittelte uns seine Erlebnisse als Mönch. so konnte er sehr authentisch über den Buddhismus berichten. Diese Tour sollte jeder machen, wenn er direkt Wissen vermittelt bekommen möchte und mit den Tempeln beindruckende Gebäude sehen möchte.

Full-day Khao Lak highlights tour with Buddhist temple blessing

Taking a closer look at Khao Lak local life rewards you with a deeper cultural understanding on this varied tour. You'll meet the locals, learn a little Thai boxing and be blessed by Buddhist monks. Then swap culture for nature with lunch at the beach and a visit to a turtle rescue centre. Malee, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘You'll have some fun getting to grips with Thai Boxing moves, but the original purpose of Muay Thai was not about fun. It began centuries ago when the army developed battlefield tactics for unarmed combat. These ancient combat techniques eventually evolved into the popular sport we know today.'It's all about getting to know Thailand's authentic side on this tour. First, we'll stop by the local school to see how Thai children go about their morning routine. Next, it's on to a temple to offer the Buddhist monks a small donation in exchange for good karma and a sacred bracelet. There's time for a look around the colourful temple to take some photos, too.After the calm of the temple, we'll raise the tempo and have a go at the high-flying kicks and powerful punches of Muay Thai boxing at a gym. After all that action, you'll be ready for a typical Thai lunch at Sai Rung Waterfall's restaurant. You'll have some time to reflect at the Tsunami Memorial, before an extra-special treat – a chance to learn about the elephants at a nearby seaside sanctuary. You'll round off your day with a visit to the turtle rescue and rehabilitation centre to find out about their work.
