Khao Lak - Hotels Resort Spa - Phang Nga
Khao Lak is a resort beach
in Thailand, located 100 km north of Phuket in Takua Pa
district, Phang Nga province and popular as a departure point
for liveaboard scuba diving trips.
The coast line here has a west-facing, sandy beach with tropical
forest and rubber plantations on the hill slopes beyond the
sand. A road runs roughly parallel with the beach and the town
has grown up as a ribbon development of shops and dwellings,
with tourist hotels between the road and the beach.
There are many beaches all the way from Phuket to
Takuapa such as Thai Muang Beach, Bangnieng Beach, Khao Lak Beach
and Bangsak Beach. But Khao Lak beach is the most popular beach for
many tourists because the beach is clean and long with golden sand
where most of the resorts are located.
Khao Lak Beach is well known for tourists who love to stay in a
remotely area because the beach is very quiet and no bars or
entertainment close to the beach.
Tourists can also get to Similan and Surin Islands by chartered
boats leave from Thap Lamu Pier in Thai Muang District (30 minutes
from Khao Lak beach) and take about 3 hours to reach the islands.
