The total length of the beaches is more than 20 km, and for the comfort of traveling it is desirable to use personal or rented vehicles. There is no public transport on the beaches.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Map of Khao Lak with beaches, hotels and detailed infrastructure<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When it comes to the beaches of Khao Lak, in 99% cases, refers to the northern beaches. The northern beaches are more settled and popular, they should choose those who are more interested in the nightlife and entertainment. But it is difficult to miss a possibility to be on a deserted seashore, to feel kinship with a wild nature. In addition, there is another group of beaches, about 2 km. long, located to the south of the national park.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Each beach in Khao Lak at least a little bit different from the others. To determine what suits you personally, it is worth using this information.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2_1\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Nang Thong Beach<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first beach of Nang Tong. This is the most populated beach in the region. There are several large resorts here, many with pools overlooking the sea. The hotels have excellent restaurants with a variety of refreshments.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3955\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 650px;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5211\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/nang-thong-beach-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Nang Thong\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thailand-trip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/nang-thong-beach-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/thailand-trip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/nang-thong-beach-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thailand-trip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/nang-thong-beach-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thailand-trip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/nang-thong-beach-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thailand-trip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/nang-thong-beach-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thailand-trip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/nang-thong-beach-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u25a3 Nang Thong Beach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the rocky promontory that ends the beach, wedding ceremonies are often held. Not far from the shore there is a lighthouse on a small island.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you do not sit in a hotel complex or on a bench, which you provided the hotel (the beach deck chairs and sun loungers are not available), then you can ride a catamaran, kayaks, rent a board for windsurfing, play volleyball or enjoy the famous and, importantly, a real Thai massage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nearby is the village of La On, a few years ago small and modest, but now it is a whole entertainment complex. At night you will find a lot of bars and pubs with a relaxing atmosphere and live music. In the restaurants you can try different cuisines. Many restaurants offer dishes of different nationalities and at the same time have reasonable prices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Accommodation on the beach is available in beach-front hotels - located directly on the shore, and gesthouses located along the main route. Lodging costs from 500 baht. A night in the hotel in high season from 1500 baht.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2_2\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Bang Niang Beach<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Niang Beach is the second most populous of all the beaches in Khao Lak. Here you will find several hotels, cheap restaurants and massage huts. But here you can ride not only kayaks, but also sailboats and go fishing.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3958\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 650px;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5213\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/34663463456.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thailand-trip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/34663463456.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/thailand-trip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/34663463456-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thailand-trip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/34663463456-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thailand-trip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/34663463456-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thailand-trip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/34663463456-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thailand-trip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/34663463456-390x220.jpg 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u25a3 Bang Niang Beach<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The night resort is more suitable for romantic strolls rather than the rambunctious fun that characterizes the big cities of Thailand. Also here you will find many tailor shops. Typical rents start at 500 baht.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2_3\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Khuk Khak Beach<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Near Khuk Khak Beach there are many charming palm groves and pine trees. They are surrounded by hotels and other elements of infrastructure, by the way, not cheap.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Of the major hotels worth mentioning: Khao Lak Orchid Beach Resort, Andamania Beach Resort and JW Marriott. Approximate cost per night will be from 2500 baht. The beach is separated from Bang Niang by a river and lake, which can be easily waded.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Khuk Khak is a transitional zone. There are even fewer tourists here than at the previous beach. There are even more local fishermen - people earn their bread by hard work, they, unlike tourists, are not at the resort. Not far from the resort is the only gas station in all the resorts.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2_4\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Pakarang Beach and Cape Pakarang<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Parakang beach is divided into two parts, and families with children will suit the southern part - there is a very gentle shore and shallow sea. The beach is less picturesque than the previous one, but those who like not only soft sand and warm sea will be interested in Cape Parakang.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3964\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 649px;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5214\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/342546354635476.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thailand-trip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/342546354635476.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thailand-trip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/342546354635476-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thailand-trip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/342546354635476-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thailand-trip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/342546354635476-390x220.jpg 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u25a3 Pakarang Beach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It's strewn with shells, not too friendly for bare feet, but you can see almost all the beaches of Khao Lak. The place is surprisingly deserted and almost wild.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2_5\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Pak Weep or White Sand Beach<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pakwip is essentially an extension of Parakang. The beach has national park status and there are no jet skis or other noise. But there are chic, premium hotels. The Sarojin Hotel deserves special attention, with room rates starting at 15,000 baht per night in high season.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3973\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 650px;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5215\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/khao-lak-straende-pak-weep-beach.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thailand-trip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/khao-lak-straende-pak-weep-beach.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/thailand-trip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/khao-lak-straende-pak-weep-beach-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thailand-trip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/khao-lak-straende-pak-weep-beach-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thailand-trip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/khao-lak-straende-pak-weep-beach-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thailand-trip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/khao-lak-straende-pak-weep-beach-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thailand-trip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/khao-lak-straende-pak-weep-beach-390x220.jpg 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u25a3 Pak Weep or White Sand Beach<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is the quietest beach in Khao Lak. And, by the way, the cleanest - in the sand here you can just sink your feet! The resort is located very advantageous, on the shores of the bay - the water is much clearer than everywhere else. The coast is overgrown with grass, a lot of tall trees. It is also a good choice for a family vacation - here the water is shallow, and the absence of tourists will make it easy to keep an eye on the children. This beach is also sometimes called otherwise - White Sand Beach.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2_6\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Bang Sak Beach<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bangsak Beach is a gently winding line of beach, dotted with soft white sand. It is the northernmost of the beaches, 100 meters behind it is the town of Takuapa. The beach is long, and there are different stretches, where it is inhabited and where it is deserted. There are few hotels here, only a few hotel complexes. The typical cost of a night's accommodation is 3,000 baht.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tr8Bu1TxJYg\" width=\"640\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are quite a lot of people here, mostly locals. After working hard on Sundays and weekends, tired Thais come here from the surrounding villages and Takuapa town. There are many cafes and restaurants that offer a wide variety of cuisines.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bangsak stands out among the other resorts of Khao Lak local color. Resting here, you can fully immerse yourself in the real Thai life, not decorated and combed picture for tourists. The water here is calm, there are not many waves. It's a ten-minute walk to town, and it's wise to go there for shopping.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2_7\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Southern beaches<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The southern beaches start from the village of Lam Kaen. There are expensive hotels and budget options. The infrastructure is less developed than in the north, but there are significantly fewer people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Among the places to stay, it is worth noting the hotels: Merlin Resort, Emerald Beach Resort, Briza Resort, Diamond Beach Resort, the average price per night accommodation can range from 3000-5000 baht. The possibility of accommodation in cheaper, on the beach is present.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2_8\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Beaches of Koh Kho Khao Island<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These islands are just for those who do not want to meet other tourists at all. And each beach is reached by its own road, sometimes even covered with asphalt. It takes only five minutes to get to the islands by ferry. Every hour there are cargo ferries - this is in case you need to ferry a car.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wRvZOp5u99A\" width=\"640\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prices here are more than reasonable, and the budget hostel is only one - Roo Poo Guest House, accommodation per night is 600 baht in low season. Located with the pier. The main hotels are on the coast, the typical cost of living from 1000 baht per night.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Khao Lak Island is the most beautiful area of Thailand, two dozen kilometers of wild beaches with nature that has not known the hand of man.
