About Khao Lak

Khao Lak is a laid-back Andaman coast destination in Phang Nga province, known for long beaches, Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park, family resorts, and diving or snorkelling trips to the Similan Islands. It is quieter than Phuket but can be costly because many stays and tours are resort-oriented.

💡Why Visit?

Visit Khao Lak for relaxed beaches, easy Similan Islands access, national park walks, and a slower Andaman base.
