Stretching out along southern Thailand’s Andaman Sea coast, Khao Lak is a small village in the country’s Phang Nga province which boasts several tranquil tropical beaches. With soft yellow sand contrasting with the rich blue of the Andaman Sea’s warm waters and the dense green of the surrounding foliage, Khao Lak is as lush a destination as you could hope for. Also a fantastic jumping off point for diving trips to the Similan Islands, together Khao Lak’s beaches total a distance of 16 miles, more than enough to ensure you can find your own slice of paradise.
