Workation in Khao Lak: the essentials

Khao Lak is really the tourist name for a chain of beaches and villages on the Andaman mainland north of Phuket, strung out below the jungle hills of Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park. Liveaboards for the Similan and Surin Islands leave from here, and the crowd is older and more family-oriented than in Phuket. The 2004 tsunami hit this stretch hard, and a police boat left stranded inland at Bang Niang is now a memorial. Expect a resort strip rather than a town, and many restaurants close in the low season from May to October. Phuket International Airport is about 65 km to the south.
