Private Tours from Khao Lak — Your Vehicle, Your Route
Your own vehicle, your own driver, your own pace — one fixed price per vehicle, not per person.
Licensed Thai tour operator · TAT 41/00132
A private tour from Khao Lak means your own vehicle, your own driver and your own pace. No shared minibus, no other group, no fixed departure time. Tell us what you want to see and we will tell you honestly what fits into one day.
What private actually means here
- Your group only. Family, friends or colleagues — nobody else in the vehicle.
- Leave when you want. Seeing Phang Nga Bay before the tour buses arrive means a 6am start. That is only possible privately.
- Your route. Two temples instead of three, a longer stop at the waterfall, back early for the kids — all fine.
- One fixed price per vehicle, not per person. From four people up, a private tour often costs about the same as joining a group.
Most-requested private tours
The tours we run privately most often are Khao Sok National Park with Cheow Lan Lake, Phang Nga Bay and James Bond Island, the three temples around Khao Lak, and Takua Pa old town with the Little Amazon. We will also combine destinations that are not offered together as a group tour.
Guides in German or French
On private tours we can arrange a German- or French-speaking guide on request — please say so when you enquire. All of our drivers and guides speak fluent English.
Looking for a transfer instead?
If you do not need a tour programme, only a private ride from A to B — Phuket Airport to Khao Lak, for example — book that through our private transfer service, priced per vehicle.
How to ask
Message us on WhatsApp with your group size, the date you have in mind and what you would like to see. You will get a concrete quote at a fixed price — no deposit, no booking platform in between. Khao Lak Land Discovery is a licensed Thai tour operator (TAT 41/00132).

Questions
How much does a private tour from Khao Lak cost?
The price is per vehicle, not per person, so it depends on the destination and the size of car you need — not on how many of you there are. From four people up, a private tour usually works out close to the per-person cost of joining a group. Tell us your group size and destination and you get a fixed quote before you commit.
How many people fit in one vehicle?
A standard car takes up to 3 passengers with luggage, a minivan up to 9. For larger groups we run more than one vehicle and keep the group together on the same itinerary.
Can we change the itinerary during the day?
Yes, within reason. Your driver will tell you honestly whether an extra stop still fits before the last ferry or before the park closes. National-park entry times and boat schedules are fixed and we will not promise around them.
Is a private tour the same as a private transfer?
No. A private tour includes a guided day out with stops and a programme. If you only need a ride from one place to another — Phuket Airport to your hotel, for example — that is our private transfer service, and it is priced separately.
Do we pay a deposit?
No deposit. You confirm by message and pay on the day. You are booking directly with a licensed Thai tour operator, TAT 41/00132, with no booking platform in between.
