More peaceful than its neighbor Phuket, Khao Lak is a dream destination for nature and beach lovers. This unspoiled region benefits from an exceptional setting: hilly hinterland covered with lush vegetation, long sandy beaches bathed by the Andaman Sea and exceptional seabed. All beaches look a bit similar on the coast, but my favorite are Coconut Beach (Pak Weep Beach) and White sand beach. I recommend La Vela Khao Lak, and Le Meridien hotel, and this is also from here that you can access Similan and Surin islands.
