Khao Lak Beach Thailand

Khao Lak Beach, in Phang Nga Province is about 80 Km north of Phuket Airport, or about 1 to 1 1/2 hours drive. The beach itself is about 2 miles long, quite narrow and offers spectacular views over the Andaman sea and the various Island rock formations.
There is an abundance of accommodation available, from low budget guest houses to premier 5 star luxury hotels, beach hotels and resort accommodation.
More suited to family's and romantic couples than say Phuket, due a quieter night life scene and limited facilities, Khao Lak is also very popular with scuba divers because of the abundance of unspoilt dive sites with a few hours boat ride.
