Khao Lak has already become a great tourist destination. Since it's located close to Phuket, many travellers visit this area for sightseeing and shopping during their holidays. Khao Lak is surely a mind-blowing area, and you have many things to do here.
Khao Lak is blessed with a long coastline, and that would definitely be considered the main highlight of the destination. The coastline is 25km long, and it consists of different sorts of beaches. Many people only know Khao Lak Beach, but there are many others such as Bang Niang, Bang La On, and Coconut Beach.
The hotel you choose for your holiday can make or ruin your days and that's a fact! So, make sure you select a good one for you for your stay in Khao Lak. Properties such as Avani+ Khao Lak Resort come with great amenities, and you are sure to enjoy the best moments of your life.
Khao Lak was badly hit by the Tsunami waves back in 2004. It was a tragedy, and this memorial 'Tsunami Boat 813' explains its depth of it. This memorial carries pictures and stories of the incident. Khao Lak has many such memorials, and this is just one of them.
So, if you explore Tsunami Boat 813, you can't really miss out on Bang Niang Market. They are located close to each other. Bang Niang is a night market and it's open 03 days a week. If you are a shopaholic and love to enjoy a local market experience, this place is surely for you.
Do you plan to visit Khuk Khak Beach on your holidays? It's one of the coolest things to do in Khao Lak because it's such a peaceful experience. It's a relatively calm beach and located very close to this beach is Wat Khuk Khak which is a Buddhist building with architectural magic.
This waterfall is sometimes called the 'Rainbow Waterfall' as well. Visiting this waterfall is a free thing to do when you are in Khao Lak. Choose to go on a scooter if you want to make this experience a great one.
When in Khao Lak, you don't need to spend big amounts of money on massage therapies. There are many massage shops and spas in this area, and they offer great services at affordable prices. In addition to the popular Thai massages, they also offer sloe vera massages which are great for sunburns.
Located very close to the Bang Niang Market, the Build Market is also a night market that is very popular among the locals. You'll love the way how the sellers have built up their shops in old shipping containers and how skilful they are in their sales. In addition to shopping and bargaining, you may also enjoy some live music, while also enjoying some great street food. This market is kept closed on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.
