Yaowawit Lodge is integrated in Yaowawit School which is supported by the Children's World Academy Foundation. Yaowawit Lodge is situated in the outskirts of Kapong, a tiny town in the center of Phang Nga Province, surrounded by agricultural fields in the valley and pristine jungle on the slopes and in the hills. This is a rural area completely unspoilt by civilization.
The six bungalows are situated at the lower end of a slope, the upper end being occupied by the school buildings, the offices, the restaurant, and the communal rooms. The bungalows are very spacious and well equipped with a beautiful bamboo bed and ample sitting facilities. The interior is sparsely but tastefully decorated. The rooms have airconditioning and a ceiling fan as well as warm water shower. For all rooms there is one large living room. The value for money of the bungalows alone is very high. In addition the children and the teachers create a very welcoming atmosphere so that all guests feel part of the community.
From Yaowawit Lodge a lot of excursions are possible in the surrounding area, whether by foot or by bicycle. They lead to waterfalls in the jungle, to natural hot springs, to Buddhist temples, to the town and to small villages in the flat valley.
For tourists in Khao Lak it is highly recommended to spend here two or three nights away as to get a glimpse of the way of life of the rural Thai people.
