If it weren't for the scores of picture-postcard beaches, Khao Lak would almost be off the map for many tourists to Thailand. So, the gorgeous beaches are easily the biggest draw that makes countless longing travellers around the world, such as yourself, pack a bag and hop on a plane to the charming Thai villages. To say it is mind-blowing would be the least; the waters are alluringly turquoise, the sands are pristine white, and the atmosphere is downright delightful. The 2.6-kilometre White Sand Beach is arguably the most beautiful, while Khao Lak's main stretch of beach is a top choice among families, and Nang Thong Beach is also one of the most loved of the bunch, especially for those with a slice of vibrant nightlife in mind.
