Takuapa Cultural History Half-Day Tour From Khao Lak

This historical and cultural Takuapa tour explores the old town of Takuapa, formerly known as Takola. The old Takuapa district was once a trading area between Thai, Chinese, and Sino-Portuguese peoples and was the main center of the region’s then lucrative tin industry. The Chinese influence is easily noticeable, with several ancient Chinese temples and shrines scattered around the town. Visit the Takuapa Market to see locals selling and bargaining for their produce. This large market is interesting for its beautifully constructed Sino-Portuguese buildings. In former times, a large number of Chinese came to work in tin mines and settled here. See Tor Sor Cake Factory, a popular dessert in Takuapa. It is similar to Chinese mooncakes but smaller. Hassle-free pickup and drop-off from your Khao Lak hotel.
