Ao Luk is located in the south of Thailand, in an area that was devastatingly affected by the Asian tsunami tragedy of 2004. Just out of the main center of Krabi Town, Ao Luk is a wonderful escape from the tourist traps. Some spectacular caves and waterfalls offer the chance to swim, snorkel and kayak through the mangroves. The centerpoint of Ao Luk district is the Than Bokkhorani National Park and the district also offers some beautiful off-shore islands to explore.

Ao Luk can be reached easily by either road or by sea from Krabi Town and Ao Nang respectively.GVI’s Thailand trainee scheme focuses on building local capacity by providing English language and environmental education to the local people, so they can maximise from the benefits of the resurging tourist trade.
