It lies 600 kilometres to the south of Bangkok, the capital of Thailand.
The comforting sounds of the natural world await you at Tai Rom Yen National Park. It's situated just 50 kilometres away, so you don't have to be stuck in a car all day. Khao Luang National Park, 45 kilometres away, is another recommended option.
The Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihaan and the Shadow Puppets are close to the centre of Phra Phrom, 17 kilometres to the east. Eager for more? Nakhon Si Thammarat, 20 kilometres to the east of Lan Saka, is known for Somdet Phra Sinagarindra 84 Park and the Phra Mahathat Woramaha Wiharn.
Whether it's for shopping or to see the sights, locals and travellers alike often head over to Trang, 90 kilometres to the south. Phraya Ratsadanu Pradit Mahisorn Phakdi Park, the Wat Tantayapirom Phra Aram Luang and the Trang Clock Tower are all nearby. That being said, you wouldn't want to miss the Meunram Temple and Ratsadanupradit Mahitsaraphakdi Park either.
Eating is among life's greatest pleasures, and since you're here, you probably think travel is too. Combine your affection for both by getting out and tasting the food and drink offerings at a few of the bars, cafés and restaurants across town.
A meal here often includes coconut and tumeric, two ingredients for which the local area is famous for dishing up.
There's always a local recipe or two you absolutely need to try, and during your time in Lan Saka, chuchi pla thu sot (mackerel curry) is definitely among them. Kaeng matsaman (stewed meat curry) is some more traditional fare that's not to be missed.
Travelling is much more than just taking photos and eating new things. It's also about interacting with the people and their culture. Make the most of your Nakhon Si Thammarat getaway by learning a couple of expressions in the local language. 'Raa-dtree sà-wàt' can be very handy. It translates to 'good night'. One more common phrase is 'Pôot cháa long nòi' ('please speak more slowly').
If you're considering visiting Lan Saka in December, you'll want to be here on the 5th for Birthday of King Phumiphon. There's always lots of excitement in the air on this national day of festivities.
It's always sad to say "Læ̂w phb kạn h̄ım̀" to Lan Saka, but you can always come back!
Situated 170 kilometres to the west is Phuket International Airport (HKT), the nearest terminal. Ensure you give yourself plenty of time to reach it.
