Useful Information

Khuraburi

Khuraburi is lively coastal town on the west coast of Thailand, 110km south of Ranong. It is currently unaffected by the wave of foreign tourism that has spread across Thailand and remains largely unexplored by westerners.This is unfortunate as Khuraburi is a truly delightful town with lots to offer the intrepid traveller. There are excellent opportunities for trekking, mountain biking and kayaking to name but a few.

More importantly, it serves as the main jumping off point for trips into the Surin National Park. During high season many Thai people head to Khuraburi to take a weekend break to the Surin Islands. However, during the week Khuraburi maintains its reputation as an easy going Thai town.

There are very few worthwhile places to stay in Khuraburi, but they are remarkably good value. Visitors to the area should certainly consider spending a day or two in the town before heading off to Koh Phra Thong or Koh Surin as it really is a pleasant place to hang out and explore.

The residences at Golden Buddha are special. These spacious private homes benefit from large individual plots with extensive gardens. Each one is uniquely designed and crafted from the finest natural materials.

Sumptious meals are served at the Golden Buddha clubhouse. These are freshly prepared with local ingredients (much of the produce comes from the island itself). Also, their skilled chef creates home-baked bread and home made muesli. Topped off with stunning views of the Andaman Sea there is no better place to eat.
