Mister Oads Private Tours (เก่ง ทัวร์) (BangNiang) Mister Gaeng makes some of the best tours that Khao Lak has to offer. All guests are full of praise about his non-touristy "Five Highlight Tour" that includes three world class attractions of Phang Nga area, the limestone rocks of Phang Nga Bay, made famous by a James Bond movie, the unique hongs accessible by sea canoe only, and one of the most beautiful small caves in the world hardly known by any tourist or even by cave freaks. Another tour that is absolutely unique in Thailand is the big game watching tour to Chiew Lan Lake where in an overnight trip up to five big game can be observed, among them wild elephants, gaur, sambar, wild boar, barking deer, and occasionally a sun bear or even the elusive tapir. His half day snorkel trip at the house reef of Khao Lak is a highly attractive tour, too, as with Gaenge many fish can be seen among vast coral fields. 19/3 Moo 5, Bang Niang, Khao Lak, Khuk Khak, Takua Pa, Phang Nga 82220 Tel.: 081-0836090
Miss Chananya and Miss Beauty offer private taxi tours in Khao Lak Area and to Phuket Airport. Both of them own a legal taxi driving license for which they had to pass serious tests. Their vehicles, a Toyota Corolla Limousine and a Mazda CX-5, are legal taxis with an official taxi insurance and with the legal green taxi number plate. Please, do not use taxi rides from vendors on the walkway who offer cheap trips with private cars with a white number plate, even when they have fancy stickers and promising names.

Jiab Taxi & Tour Service (รถรับจ้างส่วนตัว) (BangNiangBeach) The first legal taxi in Khao Lak with a green number plate, the famous Number 1, was the Honda Civic of Miss Jiab. It took her 10 months of painstaking steps through the Thai bureaucracy before she received her taxi license. After she had shown the way, many more taxi drivers received the legal status as a private taxi driver. Miss Jiab drives very carefully. She follows the rules of the law and never drives more than 90 km/h. On the route from Phuket Airport to Khao Lak she really takes her time and overtakes only if it is absolutely safe. Her taxi has a passenger accident insurance, and she goes to car inspection once a month during the high season. Miss Jiab drives mainly for the Internet Booking Service Khao Lak, bringing tourists from Phuket Airport to Khao Lak and back. For safety reasons she makes only two trips per day. Per trip she gets 1600 Baht which barely covers the cost, the regular maintenance, and the depreciation of the car, so that something is left for a decent income in the season. In the off-season she makes her living tapping rubber in a rubber plantation, a very strenuous work. If you did not book your hotel with the help of Internet Booking Service Khao Lak, you may still use the taxi service of Khun Jiab by mailing to khaolaktransfer@gmail.com In Thai you can also call her personally at 063-2518324, in English you may book her taxi at 098-3433475 1/68 Mu 5, Bang Niang Beach, Khao Lak,Takua Pa, Phang Nga 82220 Tel.: 063-2518324 or 098-3433475 Transport >>
Miss Beauty Taxi Service (Miss Beauty Taxi Service) (BangNiang) Mr Gaeng is a very reliable taxi driver. He never drives too fast and never makes any risky maneuvers.

Booking is possible through Amy Minne from Internet Booking Service Khao Lak by email: khaolaktransfer@gmail.com But Mr Gaeng is also one of the best tour guides in Khao Lak for private tours. His specialty is the 5-Highlight-Tour to Phang Nga Bay and around including James Bond Island and some of the most beautiful caves in the world. This tour is designed such that hardly any other tourist is encountered during his visit to these top attractions. To get the right timing he starts at 7.30 a.m. in the morning and returns around 19.00 h in the evening. This tour has been an absolute highlight for all tourists who went with Mr Gaeng. His second exclusive tour is the overnight tour to Chiew Lan Lake in Khao Sok National Park watching large animals by the lakeside in the evening. No other guide in Thailand offers this type of wildlife watching. His third exclusive trip is the half day snorkeling trip to Khao Na Yak National Park just in front of Thap Lamu near Khao Lak. Only Mr Gaeng is able to show the many underwater attractions at the reefs of this unknown National Park, like 4 different kinds of Moray Eel or a couple of Sepia. You can contact him by phone or at Sita Garden at the beach in Bang Niang, Khao Lak. 1/68 Moo 5, Bang Niang, Khao Lak, Khuk Khak, Takua Pa, Phang Nga 82220 Tel.: 087-8966154
