The beautiful Andaman coastline of Southern Thailand, in Phang Nga province, provides the peaceful tranquil paradise setting of Khao Lak with it’s 9km stretch of pristine sandy beach set against a background of casuarina pines and overlooked by the towering evergreen forest of Khaolak-Lamru National Park.
This is an unsurpassed and unspoilt locale for nature lovers or those seeking complete relaxation.
Khao Lak is 80km from Phuket International airport, and is ideally situated to provide visits to numerous points of interest and natural attractions, including several land and marine based National Parks. The Similan and Surin islands, with their world renowned dive sites, are just a short trip away. The list of attracions and activities is quite extensive – beautiful deserted beaches, hiking, waterfalls, hot springs, elephant trekking, diving, snorkeling, reefs, lakes, estuaries, canoeing, wild life, remote islands … to name a few.
There is a good range of excellent accomodation, discreetly nestled in the environment, and offering every amenity and luxury, according to your budget, with views to the sea and surrounding forest. Night life is quiet and relaxing.

Making telephone calls
Use the red phone booths for making calls within the same province only; they accept 1 Baht coins. Blue booths (5 and 10 Baht coins) and green (card) booths can be used for calls anywhere within Thailand.
Oversea calls can be made from the telephone office. Hotels and agencies will make a surcharge.
The international dialing code from Thailand is 001. Cheaper international rates can be obtained using 008 instead.
