Holidays in Sao Phao

Can't sleep? Tossing and turning all night? Could be that intrepid spirit of yours! So what are you waiting for? Get up, get yourself some brekkie and book a trip to Sao Phao!

It lies 540 kilometres to the south of the country's capital, Bangkok.

Enjoy a picnic and delight in the sights and sounds of the ocean at Bo Phut Beach or Haad Rin Nai Beach.

Break out on a journey to some nearby natural attractions. 30 kilometres out of Sao Phao, Khao Luang National Park is waiting to be explored. Khao Wang Thong Cave, 35 kilometres away, is another fabulous spot to kick your heels up.

We also suggest getting in a car and finding your way to Sichon. It's approximately 10 kilometres to the northwest and the home of Wat Pannaram and the Wat Chedi.

Feel like visiting the Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihaan, Somdet Phra Sinagarindra 84 Park and the Shadow Puppets? Make tracks to Nakhon Si Thammarat, 50 kilometres to the south, and set up camp. These attractions, along with the Phra Mahathat Woramaha Wiharn and BaanTanKhun, are all close.

To truly experience a destination is to taste the local food and drink, so get ready to nibble, gnaw, slurp and sip your way through Nakhon Si Thammarat. The only thing you need to bring with you is a strong appetite!

Coconut and tumeric are some typical ingredients in many of the dishes here. If you don't love them already, you might by the end of your holiday!

During your time in Sao Phao, dine like a local. That means tucking into a plate of chuchi pla thu sot (mackerel curry) or kaeng matsaman (stewed meat curry), a couple of the region's signature dishes.

Make friends with your hosts by memorising some expressions in the local tongue. Try to get your tongue around 'Pôot cháa long nòi'. It translates to 'please speak more slowly'. 'Yàak dtên ram măi?', which means 'would you like to dance?', is also quite common.

Each year on the 5th of December, Birthday of King Phumiphon holds an important place in the hearts and minds of the locals. It offers an excellent chance to discover the nation's history and kick up your heels while you're at it!

With just a handful of your travel allowance remaining in your pocket and some amazing memories that will last a lifetime, say one last "Læ̂w phb kạn h̄ım̀" to Sao Phao.

When you're ready to fly home, make sure you have enough time to head to Phuket International Airport (HKT). Situated 200 kilometres to the southwest from the centre of Sao Phao, this is the nearest terminal.
