Before
leaving Phuket Island take the old road (west turn)
to drop by the Sirinath National Park Headquarters
on Mai Kao beach before crossing on the old Sarasin
bridge and rejoining H402.
You
may turn east and plan your own short tour to Phang
Nga and Krabi as an alternative to our tours which
continue north along the west coast on H4.
H4
is a fast main route to the district town (amphoe)
of Thai Muang (administritive district towns have
government offices, secondary schools and a hospital).
Where H4 turns sharply right at the the northern end
of town, the road straight ahead leads to Hat Thai
Muang (hat means beach) and Khao Lam Pi National Park,
passing the entrance to the Thai Muang Golf and Marina
complex on the way.
The park area contains tropical evergreen, mangrove, beach
and swamp forest. The long, empty beach is conserved
for rare nesting turtles (Nov - April).
The
park area includes the Khao Lam Pi Waterfall 10 kms.
north of Thai Muang on H4 (right turn on narrow sealed
road 2 kms.). The natural pools refresh in the cooler
jungle.
Further
north the road narrows and winds its way around the
headland (KM. 55 - 58) that is part of the Khao Lak
- Lam Ru National Park.
