Khao Lak

Khao Lak Marine National Park boasts 12km of casuarinas and palm fringed coastline. Behind the glorious beaches are palm and rubber plantations, which continue to meet green foothills and mountainous terrain divided by cascading waterfalls.

One thing that sets Khao Lak aside from many other seaside destinations is that you dont have to cross a road to reach the beach! Tourism is slowly but surely taking off here, particularly for divers, which is hardly surprising as some of the countys best diving is right on its doorstep.

Diving around Khao Lak

The majority of diving trips offered here visit the sites around the Mu Koh Similan and Surin Marine National Parks in the form of both day trips and liveaboard excursions, with the latter also being offered to the Mergui Archipelago.

There are also a couple of wrecks of tin mining boats; the ‘Boonsong’ lies just off the coast and can be a real treat to dive. All manner of marine life can be encountered from tiny and endemic nudibranchs up to, on the odd occasion, whale sharks. The second wreck, the ‘Premchai’, lies upside down but remains in one piece allowing penetration.
