Overview

Visit Takuapa Old Town and observe old period-style buildings, small coffee shops, and the famous tin mines. This Historical and Cultural Tour explores the old town of Takuapa, formerly known as ‘Takola’. Located approximately 32km north of Khao Lak. The beautiful Sino-Portuguese architecture and wealth of the community owe their origins to the tin-mining industry, an important era in the town, and in fact the history of the town. Discover the old-town streets lined with beautiful examples of Sino-Portuguese architecture. We will visit Takuapa Market before heading to Nam Kem Cultural Centre, a museum run by locals and interestingly made out of clay. Finally, we visit the Tsunami Memorial Park, a tranquil and peaceful place for reflection and remembrance.

Great Experience

Published on Sep, 2024

My husband and I were transported in an air conditioned car. Having a driver and guide made the day very easy and informative. We were taken to very clean eating places that provided delicious food and iced Thai coffee and given ice cold bottled water regularly. This tour allowed us to learn about daily life, religion and culture in this very beautiful area of Thailand. We would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour of the area and insight into the Tsunami

Published on Aug, 2024

The Tsunami memorial and museum were very interesting. Our guide Sayan was great. He is a Tsunami survivor and his story of his experience added to the tour.

Excellent tour

Published on Aug, 2024

The tour was excellent. Our guide, Moo, was fabulous; his knowledge and explanations were outstanding. We definitely had value for money and would highly recommend Moo as a guide.

Interesting Tour

Published on Jul, 2024

We had a lovely, memorable tour with our guide who provided us with interesting commentary throughout the day. The Tsunami Memorial Museum was humbling and we enjoyed wandering around Takua Pa and sampling some local iced coffee.

Great tour. Great tour guide!
