Before the Tsunami Khao Lak was famous for its beautiful and inexpensive beachfront bungalows made from local material. These bungalows were run by the owners themselves, or by their daughters, who went out of their way to create a warm atmosphere that made their guests very happy. They returned year after year to meet Joi, Ae, Noi, Nam, Fon, Pi Mai, Khun Prasert, Khun Pat Junkaew or Mr. Pisit. Luckily a few of these bungalow villages were rebuilt so that the same spirit of well being can continue.
These rebuilt bungalow resorts can NOT be booked by anonymous booking services on the internet or from tour operators abroad. Only Dagmar from the Internet Booking Service Khao Lak can book these resorts. She and her family spent many months in Khao Lak after the Tsunami to help to recreate hope for all her friends in the tourism industry of Khao Lak. Since then her booking service has exclusive contracts with the resort managers, her friends, to book their bungalows worldwide. (One exception is Ocean Breeze Resort which was taken over from Noi in 2009 by our friend Kamran, who converted it into a top 3 to 4 star resort. As a newcomer he needs contracts from tour operators, too.)
