About Khao Lak

Khao Lak is a long strip of sandy Andaman coast north of Phuket, with rainforest hills behind, waterfalls and boats to the Similan Islands.

Khao Lak runs for some twenty kilometres along the Andaman Sea in Phang Nga province, about eighty kilometres north of Phuket. Wide beaches such as Khuk Khak, Nang Thong and Bang Niang are backed by rubber and palm plantations and hills covered in rainforest. Khao Lak–Lam Ru National Park protects the forest and waterfalls behind the coast. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami struck this shore, and memorials stand along it.
