Travel Khao Lak like a pro, want to travel Phang Nga, come and explore. One post covers all of Khao Lak, guaranteed. Continue traveling in Phang Nga with the Khao Lak area, another world-class tourist destination in Thailand. It is recognized as the best long stay destination with valuable leisure travel, quality accommodation, a variety of food (even Isan food) and hotels in many price ranges to choose from.

Khao Lak is located on Phet Kasem Road, Highway 4 of Thailand. It is one of the most popular resorts in Asia. The main tourist attractions in Khao Lak are divided into 3 beaches: Khao Lak Beach, located in the National Park Office, Nang Thong Beach (Black Sand Beach) and Bang Niang Beach. Each beach has a different identity. If you come, you should visit all of them.

Khao Lak Beach In the area of the Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park office, turn in and pay the entrance fee to the park. Park your car in the front and walk along the beach with the park's houses straight to the real Khao Lak Beach. If you ask where is the real Khao Lak? This beach can be called Khao Lak Beach. It is not a very wide beach. Plus, there are the fewest tourists in Khao Lak (partly because you have to pay to enter). It is also in the national park. Therefore, the beach is relatively cleaner than other beaches. This place is really suitable for relaxing.

For Nang Thong Beach, it is a relaxation zone to experience the atmosphere of Khao Lak beach. Not very noisy. It is a zone suitable for relaxation. Although there are many accommodations along the beach (both Nang Thong and Bang Niang), the general condition is quieter than Bang Niang Beach. Sometimes it is called Black Sand Beach because during the monsoon season, the currents sweep tin ore from the seabed to cover the beach, creating a black sand beach.

For tourists who like nightlife, like parties, Bang Niang Beach is more suitable for you. Because in addition to the beautiful sea, there are also many world-famous bars that offer drinks at very affordable prices. When you order a drink around here, you will also receive a small cup of nuts as a free gift. Try to close your eyes and imagine Pattaya Beach next to Phet Kasem Road, it's probably like that.

When you arrive in Bang Niang, don't forget to visit the Tsunami Memorial, Patrol Boat No. 813 (Buree Phadungkit). The giant tsunami in 2004 washed this patrol boat aground on a mountain about 2 kilometers from the coast, even though the boat weighed 60 tons. The Thai authorities have kept the ship in that condition until the present day to commemorate the sad event. Many Thais and foreigners travel to this Tsunami Memorial. Nearby there is also a Tsunami Museum, but there is an entrance fee.

Many restaurants in the Khao Lak area are open to foreigners. So don't be surprised if you can order the blandest Pad Kra Pao in the world here because the cook won't put any chili in it for you. The taste will be bland and salty. However, there are many delicious restaurants and there is also a Thai-style beef noodle shop.
