Before choosing where to stay

Area Character & Base

Takua Thung is a rural administrative district rather than a major tourist hub. Accommodation options are limited, making it suitable for travelers preferring quiet and self-driving exploration. It serves best as a rest stop when visiting nearby Phang Nga Bay or Krabi.

Transport Connections

There is no direct airport access. Travelers must first arrive at major airports in Phuket or Krabi Province, then transfer via road transport. The journey takes considerable time, so ample travel buffer is recommended.

Best Season

Southern Thailand remains warm year-round. However, November to April is the dry season with clearer skies, ideal for outdoor activities and long-distance road travel. The rainy season may impact road conditions.

Aulis

Restaurant Michelin฿฿฿฿4.6 km

(The restaurant is temporarily closed.) Opened in December 2023, Simon Rogan's first Thailand venture, Aulis, is based on a 'chef's table' concept. The multi-course tasting menu presents native ingredients, many sourced from Thailand and local grower collaborations. Begin with an amuse-bouche over drinks in the lounge, then take a seat in front of the open kitchen to watch the chefs precisely plate farm-to-table fare imbued with Rogan's signature flair. The non-alcoholic pairing is also worth trying.
