О месте: Кхао Лак

The Khao Lak zone covers the resort coast of Phang Nga, about 80 km north of Phuket. It takes its name from the Khao Lak headland and the national park around it; the resort villages lie mostly in Khuekkhak subdistrict of Takua Pa district, whose seven villages include Bang La On, Bang Niang, Khuekkhak and Pak Weep, with Lam Kaen and its Thap Lamu pier to the south.

The beaches run from Sunset Beach and Nang Thong, the centre at La On, through Bang Niang, the main tourist area with the night market, restaurants and bars, to Khuk Khak, Pak Weep, White Sand Beach and the long, quiet sands of Bang Sak in the north. The sea is calm and clear from November to April and can be rough in the low season.

On 26 December 2004 the tsunami struck this coast hard: Police Boat 813 was carried about 2 km inland and now stands in a memorial park in Bang Niang. Today Khao Lak is the base for the Similan Islands, reached by boat from Thap Lamu, and for the waterfalls and trails of Khao Lak–Lam Ru National Park.
