The Bhandari itself is just gorgeous!!! A wonderful resort, great rooms, plants, pool, breakfast, food at the restaurant (a bit expensive though) atmosphere, staff etc. Couldn t imagine a nicer resort to stay at. Everything was perfect! The only but is the location. The good thing about the location is, that you are close to the main street and restaurants and shops etc. What we didn t like was the beach (and the access to it). There are much better places in Khao Lak. We didn t mind too much, because we had a rental car and went to other beaches. The landscape and the beaches are beautiful, Khao Lak itself is just like the Lonely Planet wrote - a one horse town . We were there in the low season and we wouldn t go there again. It was hard to find any good restaurants (if, like in our case - you need some international food aswell, as we were travelling with children). We didn t like the atmosphere - or better the not atmosphere of Khaolak, also there were almost no people. Being sometimes the only people to dine at dinner was not so nice ... The weather was also horrible for most of the time: of course you have to expect that in August, but is was so bad, we had to cancel all of our trips and could do really nothing, which was a pitty. Better go there in high season. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>
